Back to Babylon
Regina Feoktistova @ Women (NY)
If we couldn't see the American flag in the background on the first picture, we could imagine this story was shot on any shore. In Deauville or any northern beach of Germany or The Netherlands. Who knows. Maybe an imaginary place we have been dreaming of forever. Maybe Regina makes a real place (Cedar Beach) turn into a dream. Who knows. We can't swear anything and no truth is ever granted about photography as soon as you have someone to watch it with his own eyes. We couldn't say if it's Summer or just Spring, sometimes we feel the heat and sometimes we imagine Regina's goosebumps, sometimes we're all about a light-hearted breeze but right after we're dreaming of a heavy sun.
Most likely, it's a bit of everything. Mixed together by a brilliant team. Photographer Robert Nethery (definitely looking forward to featuring his work again... and again) capture some moments our eyes were eager to see and relied on both James Tinnelly's stylish imagination and Regina Feoktistova's unique body language (don't you see she's expressive even when she doesn't look at the camera?) to make it real. As real as the seafood they sell at the surf shack.
