German photographer Kai Stuht (b. 1964) and director and designer Miles Cockfield (b. 1962) collaborated on a photographic art project in 2012. The result was a series of sensual and tasteful images that bring together a multitude of contrasts in perfect yet also unexpected balance. As two masters of the grand, their photographic project was filled with abundance and elegance, while the results balance between elegant solemnity and decadent charm.
In their photo series, luxurious drapes often hang in front of stripped-down industrial walls. At the centre of the images, models pose like goddesses or dreamy princesses. The final compositions lead to atmospheric reinterpretations of themes recognised from mythology and art history.
