Kristian Soisalo x STiMULANT I

The first shoot Marrakech with Noana for the STiMULANT collaboration. A different approach to shibari photgraphy, the use of a 23mm wide-angle lens serves to highlight the inclusion of the model in the space, rather than isolate them, focusing on the situation, rather than the ropes themselves. The unorthodox decision to include photographs with this lens as well as a 135mm plays with the viewer's sense of space, a doubt arises over whether they are included in the scene or not. This varies in accordance to the the focal lenth, a contrast between observation and participation.
