WHERE IT WAS SHOT:

It was shot enterely on a very interesting location, an old silk loom workshop at the heart of the old town of Valencia, Spain

CONCEPT:

I wanted to talk about the silk industry and their roots with China and Europe, therefore I contacted an European-Chinese model, Lena Wong. The model was wearing an amazing kimono dress made of silk, made by the talented Vicente Cano and Salvador Robles, owners of the ‘Haute couture’ company named: La Boheme 1994

TECHNICAL DATA:

Lit only by LED continuous light.
Shot on Hasselblad H3DII 50
