Beauty: Colour Blocking

Photographer Anastasia Orlando teamed up with make up artist Larisa Moldovan and art director Nada Dahab to create this beauty series inspired by the free will of the moment applying simplicity with intuition.

This shoot was inspired by a painting class that formed part of Anastasia's early time at CSM studying Fine Art.

"We were given a few colours and asked to not think about which to use or when but rather to paint intuitively with simple blocks of colour, adding whatever ‘felt right’ with no plan or attachment to an outcome. In this way the painting would become like a diary or expression of feeling in that moment and would be very true – intuitively applying colour and keeping it simple!"



About Anastasia

Anastasia is a London based portrait and beauty photographer. She is passionate about capturing real moments with her sitters and telling stories on film & digital. In both her portrait and beauty work she seeks to reveal aspects of the model’s character and allows them to be more than just a canvas, giving them the opportunity to show their most authentic selves. She loves the notion that she can capture fragments of everything in their life that’s built up to this moment of them being in front of her lens.
