Sculptural, textural images by designer turned fashion photographer Alina Asmus

Date
1 July 2015

Photographer Alina Asmus studied and worked as a fashion designer in Israel, London and Berlin before deciding to turn her hand to fashion photography, and her rigorous training in clothing construction and the nature of textiles is clear from the off in her work. The photographer couples her clean, pared-back aesthetic with unusual artistic direction to capture unseen angles and sculptural forms, glimpsing the strange ways fabrics fall over the body.

She captures her subjects swathed in heavy wool and carefully poised in a feigned fall on the ground, or wrapped in black leather and stretched out over a rocky beach, showing off the technical skill of designers who create these pieces through her own artistic vision. It’s a magical pairing, and demonstrates just how magnificent fashion photography can be in skilled hands.
