We shot this session at home during the Covid lockdown, with Ema Kuroko at our side as an assistant. In the intimate domestic space, the chair becomes both a scenic element and a point of support, while the light shapes Marta Tenshiko’s black lingerie and red hair.
The Louboutin pumps, with their distinctive red soles, had been given to Marta for her birthday a few months earlier and gradually enter the visual narrative. The shoot alternates contained poses, more demanding twists and sensual gazes, creating an elegant contrast between rope, lingerie and the chair’s classical lines.
