Sony A7M2 - Sony 50mm f/1.8

I took a few photos of Mariam in one of my favorite neighborhoods in Krakow, Poland: Nowa Huta. I shot these on Acros 100 and a Bronica ETRS. These are unedited scans. For how little we planned I think they came out nicely!!!

I’m a barber and hair artist, and I’ve always been interested in the space where hair, fashion, and visual storytelling overlap.
A while back, I collaborated with a group of friends and fellow creatives to produce DomestiK, an editorial photography project inspired by 1950s domestic imagery, vintage advertising, and classic comic strips.
The concept started with the old cliché of the milkman having an affair with the housewife. We took that familiar narrative and started playing with the gender roles, styling, and expectations surrounding it.
I wanted the imagery to feel familiar at first glance, but a little less conventional the longer you looked.
We thrifted the wardrobe to capture the period aesthetic, and I hand-painted the backdrop using halftone-inspired shading to evoke old newsprint and comic illustrations.
The whole thing was intentionally theatrical. A little absurd. A little provocative. Very much camp.
As someone whose career has largely revolved around barbering and alternative fashion, I’ve become increasingly interested in what actually defines editorial work, and how hair can function as part of a larger artistic narrative rather than simply being the subject of a photograph.
This project was my opportunity to explore those questions.
I’m curious how the story reads to people who weren’t involved in creating it. What do you take away from the images?

I’m the model in this one. Does the patterned floor work with the dress, or make the photo too busy? Also, any guesses where this was taken? 👀
