In the poetic editorial "Fall," Marie Korobeynikova crafts a visual narrative that intertwines classical art history, romantic introspection, and contemporary fine art photography. The series features Igor in a sculptural dialogue with nature, evoking a sense of vulnerability and emotional depth reminiscent of Romantic-era paintings. Key elements include:

  • Romanticism in Composition: Igor's poses evoke solitude, set against a backdrop of autumnal decay.

  • Classical Nude Meets Modern Symbolism: His form merges with the landscape, recalling mythological figures like Narcissus.

  • Chiaroscuro & Baroque Mood: The use of light and shadow echoes Caravaggio, with elements of vanitas still life traditions.

  • Integration with Nature: Igor becomes an extension of the landscape, embodying change and transformation.

Through Marie's lens, Igor transforms into a metaphor for the season of fall—a journey of transformation, surrender, and return to earth. This editorial, published by BON, is a powerful exploration of art, nature, and the human form.
