Eric Ouaknine fashion/beauty photographer makes us feel and live the atmosphere of one of his photo shoot. He gathered talents – hairdressers, make-up artist, fashion designer- to perfect the muses of the day beauty. Read here the artist's experience. I like to mix, in a subtle harmony, the spirit blackness and style vividness, sensation ardour and beauty coldness, icy suffering look and the grace of a burning body... In this dark and mystical atmosphere everyone got his inspiration from symbols and expressed his art. Céline Antunes – Schwarzkopf hairdresser ambassador- and her brother Erwann Palumbo, made me discover their incredible work in volume : structured or crazy buns, like antique and Etruscan helmets. Other talents, those of Laura de Villebonne, fashion designer and photo shoots look creator, and Christelle Minbourg, young make-up artist, passionate and skilled who perfectly knew how to strengthen the eyes blackness and the lips toxicity and smoothness. The colour code selected for this photo shoot : black of course ! Mixing of materials such as leather, tulle, lace, wire, chains … and one of Laura atypical speciality, the bullgum. Silhouettes were inspired by military and religious uniforms. Mat and shiny glow contrasted even more the final black and white. Regarding the models, Camille and Léa, the interpretation of their role led them to reveal darkest part of their personality while showing through an enchanting soul depth... I let myself been lulled by those dark perfumes and I felt in perfect harmony with the team, the photo shoot started at 11 p.m. and ended at 1 a.m. The American magazine DARK BEAUTY, Gothic fashion spokesperson and happy to discover new pictures, choose some of them to promote his new Iphone app. « Purest Black » by Eric Ouaknine photographe photographer for DARK BEAUTY magazine.
