Metamorphoses

Arbor Vitae

Nadine was for some years my favourite model - more than a model, my muse. She was only 17 the first time we worked together and in this series she is a mere 18. The project was designed in collaboration with sculptor Giorgio Bevignani and my wife Lucia.

All the shots in the series were done in the studio except the leafy tree which we had to do outside in a garden centre. Nadine is wearing rubber boots under the kimono and standing on a pile of bricks. “Candeline” was the most difficult of the series for Nadine as she had to cope with molten wax dripping all over her. A beautiful woman and an exceptional person.
