Sonia & Mark Whitesnow: Burnt by the Sun

I’m incred­i­bly intrigued by the con­cep­tual work of Sonia & Mark Whitesnow, a young cou­ple from Kirov, Russia. This par­tic­u­lar series, Burnt by the Sun, with its sun-soaked color palette and ethe­real mod­els, par­tic­u­larly caught my eye.

The hero­ines are deep in their thoughts, some­where far away, cloaked in dusty and salty air. They may be hard to rely on, empty and unwill­ing to coöper­ate for cre­at­ing some­thing use­ful and weighty, or, on the con­trary, they may be reflect­ing on more impor­tant things. A sheer waste of time or a moment of truth.
Time stopped for them, they are plagued with dan­ger­ous burns on their young bod­ies, some­one may suf­fer from them tremen­dously and some­one is com­pletely indif­fer­ent to pain. 
In spite of their like­ness — this is a team which is in the game at the moment — they seem to be cold and indif­fer­ent to each other. 
On a hot day they are burnt with the sun and seem to be unable to strug­gle. Or, may be, at this very moment the inner strug­gle is in process?!

    Very het­e­real and pecu­liar. I’ve vis­ited their web­site too. Their work could be suit­able for adver­tis­ing, their style has a really strong per­sonal mark.
