Meanwhile! Photography by Anne-Sophie Guillet

A KALTBLUT exclusive. Photography by Anne-Sophie Guillet. Model is Zakaria Qichouh signed at Offf Models. Make up by Anaïs Ben Amor. “The shoot is set in Zakaria’s bedroom in Antwerp (BE). The style is paired down to a few pieces from Bielo and Le Mont St Michel. Through the shoot, I try to seize some of his gaze and attempt to touch upon the intimate moments of proximity between my subjects and I. I’ve used a medium format analog camera on a tripod which implies the need to take time to build up confidence with the model. By casting Zakaria for the shoot I wanted to show different kind of bodies than the prevailing white normative. Arabic models aren’t very often shown in the forefront unless they are exoticized.”
