To capture the new BENGT AW12 collection, we got onboard friend and up & coming photographer Ivona Chrzastek. After showing her the exciting new AW collection we discussed ways of moving the product shoot on. We finally decided on using iridescent tiles as the flooring, giving all the shots a dreamlike and mesmerizing glowing edge. Needless to say we were excited and pleased with the result of the shoot, that included snapping new season pieces from designers like Danielle Foster, Sager-Forsberg, Charlie May and newcomers like Joanna Pybus.
We also asked Ivona 5 QUESTIONS to quickly introduce the girl behind the lens. This is what she had to say.
