I have not written articles for many days. And all this and wanted to write something, but it was necessary to process photos, about which I forgot a little :) But, at last one extraordinary photo session with Lena is ready and I can share it with you))
And so, let's start with the fact that this was the rare case when I agree to implement the idea of the model. Lena wanted to shoot in ballet accessories, in some abandoned building. But there are fewer and fewer of them in the city every year and all the interesting ones have been rebuilt long ago. But just the same day, when she sent me examples of photographs, I came across the news in VK on new pictures of the girl, which, I once photographed. Seeing the place presented in the photo, I immediately realized that it was the "Fairy tale" doll theater.
In the theater "Fairy Tale" I was only once, in a distant, distant childhood, when our class was led to one of the performances. And already, of course, I forgot how everything looks from the inside (I remember only the scene), but for some reason, seeing photos immediately guessed what kind of place it was. And then it was decided to take pictures there, there was no better option!
Meeting on the day of filming, Lena told me that she had been to the theater the other day. But then the doors and windows were not boarded up, but we had to climb through a single open window. And inside everything was more or less decent when she went there without me, there was no broken glass, a lot of rubbish, ruined facades, broken ceilings and so on. And since then I do not leave the question, who and why everything broke: (
At first, Lena for a long time could not properly put on the pointe, as the tapes fell off all the time and she corrected them every 5 minutes. But then we already spat on this business and started the photo session) More than half the time of the photo session, we spent on the first floor, in principle, this is because there are concentrated all the main locations, and the second was of little interest, except for the former dining room and balconies.
It's funny that in the rooms there are still costumes, dolls, decorations, interior items and much more. The impression was created that people abandoned the theater in a hurry ... and this is a bit scary)) Even before the shooting Lena was intimidated by strange sounds, because of which she could not inspect everything on the last visit and quickly left the theater)
Only when we started shooting, we saw how outside the window a small group of children aged 12-13 watched through the window. Strange, but they did not pay attention to us, although everything is very clearly visible through the window. Later they began to walk outside the theater looking for the entrance and loudly making noise, and then, just like us, they climbed through the window. While we were photographing, they quietly walked around us and broke something (it seems I'm beginning to guess who crushed everything), so I made a remark to them ... because it's forbidden to be here and I did not want the police to suddenly arrive and interfere with our creative process :)
In general, this place terribly pleased me! I was very, very inspired and did not even forget about the important moments of the composition, which can be demonstrated here especially well. And if the building is not completely destroyed in the near future, I hope to hold one more photo session there. This time I'm planning a fashion set, like the shots of glossy magazines. Even looked at one girl .. very like one familiar, real professional model :D It remains only to wait for the new camera, sew some unusual costumes and I can safely go into battle! Oh, that is, for a photo shoot))
