Avant-Garde Concept “Captive Accents” – feat. Playmate Coxy Dominika

Going slightly weird in formal tones is key when looking to achieve a bold and unconventional set.

This series mainly lives from the tonal contrast aspect and Dominika’s curves and posing play a very important role as well.

The Visual Approach

Dominika’s pale flesh tone plays on one side and the scene, immersed in complimentary blue, on the other. That’s the basic and simple visual concept for this shoot.

The room itself provides already a wealth of patterns and all sorts of visual lines. Using these structures to follow along with compositional aspects but then break the some of the rules is a true delight.

Beautification & Styling

Dominika wears a strong outfit and bold make-up in play against the soft round curves of her body.
The dark shadowy colors of the make-up also correspond very nicely with the blue lighting.

The chosen laced varnish dress fantastically takes all already existing lines and patterns to the next level by adding an independent structure of lines.

And Dominika’s soft body forms in combination with her varnish over-knee boots lead to an exciting visual interaction.

Posing

Needless to say, that that body curves, hence Dominika’s posing, play a very important role as well. For starters, we worked through a broad range of C/S/I and got then more expressive and experimental.

Further, the minimalistic yet very specific facial expressions are vital when shooting the portrait sequence.

Lighting Concept: Yellow & Blue

For creating the lighting design, I choose to have appealing colors on the model’s pale skin but a complementary, extravagant and hard atmosphere around her all over the scenery.

It’s not about a soft characteristic light at all but rather about feeling and sensing the “softness” of the model’s curves in the sequence when she will pose naked.
