Study in Orange

Study in Orange is an editorial beauty series that examines how colour alone can shape mood, presence, and emotional tone. Featuring model Katarina Ralf, the work uses a restrained, monochromatic palette to explore subtle shifts in expression, texture, and light.

Rather than relying on overt styling or narrative, the series focuses on stillness and nuance — allowing skin, tone, and form to carry the visual weight. The warmth of orange functions as both backdrop and subject, creating a quiet tension between softness and strength. The result is a body of work that sits between beauty and portraiture, where atmosphere is built through restraint.
