Photographer Anastasia's workday begins with a few routine but important steps. On her way to work, she stops by a photo store to rent a new lens she wants to test. She always tries to keep up with the latest technological innovations in the world of photography, so she is constantly experimenting with different equipment. After visiting the store, Anastasia goes into a cozy cafe next to the photo studio to take a short break and enjoy a fragrant coffee. At this time she reflects on the day ahead, remembers what ideas and concepts of photo shoots she wants to realize, and draws up a work plan.

After Anastasia arrived at the photo studio, she immediately got to work, feeling inwardly excited about the upcoming shoot. Her plans were clear and she was ready to turn her ideas into reality. The first stage was the photos in front of the mirror. Anastasia understood that this technique would create interesting perspectives and reflections, emphasizing her natural beauty and dedication. Then, moving on to the cyclorama, she decided to realize her idea of delicate photos in lingerie. This part of the shoot was to emphasize her femininity and tenderness, creating an image of intimacy and warmth. After that Anastasia decided to make two contrasting images in different locations. Each image and each location represented a different aspect of Anastasia's personality, and she intended to capture them all to convey her uniqueness and beauty through the camera lens. Which outfit suits her best? The choice is yours...

It was time to capture her friend's beauty, and Anastasia decided to do so in all her diversity, choosing several different locations and outfits. She aimed to emphasize her uniqueness and beauty by creating amazing images. The first idea Anastasia came up with was a shoot using natural light from a huge window. She knew this would create the perfect lighting for the model and add a play of light and shadow, creating a magical atmosphere. This was followed by an image in a warm and cozy bed where the friend could open up and show her secret sides. After that Anastasia suggested an atmosphere surrounded by greenery, like a tropical garden. And finally, the cherry on the cake was the image of a gentle angel with wings. This image was meant to emphasize the tenderness and light side of the model's personality, adding a touch of magic and mystery to the shots...
