Series Digital Folks

We live in a digital and open world where the cultural exchange between peoples is constantly progressing. Everything is mixed - male and female.
Polystylism is gaining immense popularity. We have created a photo editorial dedicated to
Russian legends in the modern digital world. As if the Russian lands were inhabited by other peoples.
Inspiration - paintings by artist Mikhail Vrubel.
All the hats of the heroes are made of natural hair - hairdresser Alina Kazaryan

Amazing story about the creation of this photo.
With the main character, who was supposed to play the role, there was a hitch. In this photograph, the main character plays the role of a swan (if anyone does not see it, this is the Swan Princess - Vrubel. And here is a double appropriation: male-female and a mixture of cultures). Well, there was no suitable candidate in Sochi at that time! This is not Peter or Moscow!
I called all my friends and acquaintances, everyone connected with show business, went through all the modeling agencies and nightclubs, but I never found anyone.
And then one fine day I was driving along the highway and I saw a person who was vital to me was standing on the opposite side of the road. And we're on the road. I'm trying to figure out if I can stop, run across the road, and catch the man before he's gone. I park, run, and a man gets into a taxi that has arrived and leaves!
I'm heading back. But a plan is brewing in my head - to go around all the houses at the bottom of the road and find those who have seen or know this person. A little later, I return and go to the quarter, which turns out to be quite large, and not as it seemed to me at first. The thermometer is about +40, but what can stop me?
After talking with all passers-by and oncoming people, I get a huge amount of information about girls of easy virtue, to whom the hero could come and about people of other nationalities. I'm going back to the track. And, oh, hallelujah - I see the store. I think I'll buy myself an ice cream and go home. But then a thought pierces me - what if a person goes to this store ?? With such an appearance, a person is definitely impossible not to notice!
In the store I ask the sellers, I get an affirmative answer, I internally rejoice, I ask permission to write a letter (chance in a million - that they will give - that he will take - that he will read - that he will answer me). But I still write. In English, to be sure. I talk about Vogue Italia and my other publications. I'm leaving.
In the evening I receive a message on whatsapp, also in English! With shaking hands, I answer and make an appointment. I go to the store in the evening. We meet and on the spot it turns out that the person does not speak English, but does it through google translator. And his native language is French. We are trying to negotiate, I try to write to him in French through google, but it turns out some kind of garbage. I ask him to wait until the moment when I can find a clear translator. And about a miracle! The sister of the hatmaker in this shoot lives in Paris and is fluent in the language. Miracles happen, right?! I get the goodness from the hero, and we pick a day for a long, long time. Because the hero came to Sochi for a reason, but to play for the football team! And he trains almost every day.
When everything finally works out, we go to the sea with a full set of equipment. But the sea is stormy. Getting into the water is impossible. I carry the crown and pebbles slowly fly off from it and hairs come out. Something needs to be done…. I decide to go to a huge pile of stones to make the waves even more accentuated and turn them into wings behind the hero's back.
And then what you see is already obtained .. Beautiful beauty. Thank you for this miracle in my life!
