Minimalist white on white winter inspirations
Minimalism, the play of warm and cool and the twist between feminine and masculine were breeding grounds for this extraordinary winter editorial created by fine art photographer and stylist Alice of Flock Events.
The arguments are aesthetic, encouraging and inspiring, impressing as artful inspiration.
From Judy und Alice: “The stark industrial foundation of brings lineal shadows, metal beams, and clean surfaces. It was the perfect location to dream up a new take on “white on white”.

It’s the lineal shadows behind the curves of the female body.
