"Under the Black Sun" series

Photo/model/makeup: Shad

Camera/lens: Fujifilm GFX 100S + Fujifilm GF 110 f/2

Each photograph in the "Under the Black Sun" series features a demon that I brought to life using body painting techniques, transforming my models into otherworldly creatures. Photographs were captured using Fujifilm and Hasselblad medium format cameras in my personal studio, and have been widely acclaimed with numerous international awards.

Everyone lives with their own demons. People are afraid of them, avoid them... But I want to show their dark beauty. I want to show that we shouldn't be afraid of our inner demons, we can learn to live with them and harness their power to create.
