• In this video I show the full edit of this photo. I describe the light and the shooting conditions and I show some backstage footage. Raw file and edited file included. This evocative photography series captures model Enokaeva against the serene, minimalist landscapes of Sweden. Renowned for his mastery of light and mood, Joakim Karlsson blends fashion portraiture with environmental storytelling, creating hauntingly beautiful images that explore solitude, nature, and human presence.
