Our goal was to make african-american albino supermodel Shaun Ross appear as a surreal being, flesh and stone at the same time. In ancient Greece, the kouros figure, a standing male youth of perfect proportions, was the physical embodiment of beauty. Together with Sasha we decided that the best way to achieve our goal is to shoot everything against a black background and allow the amazing art pieces and Shaun's energy and phisicality to merge and come together as one
