The title of the shoot is ¨Higher¨and it refers to an altered level of consciousness similar to that in dreams. Through a series of pictures I tried to portrait a oneiric vision where the subject dreams of oneself whilst going through a surreal trip inside the mind. The subject matter is also linked to the concept of acquiring insight into one’s own character. The topic of self discovery is recurrent through my art.
Nowadays I’m adopting a new approach for my shoots which would be like a simplified version of the processes in scriptwriting and filmmaking. I try to tell stories in a subtle way, and even though I don’t strictly follow a scriptwriting structure there is much of this process involved. I see many fashion shoots everyday that try to tell a story without building a solid character, so I recently started trying to bring some filmmaking ideas into the shoots.
