TITLE: Suicide beauties

The models for this image are two of the most popular suicide girls in the whole world. Suicide girls are so called "alternative models" and usually combine a really peculiar beauty with an aggressive mood and approach to photography and modeling. I had this shooting session with Felisya and Yana last year. I met Felisya some years ago when she was not so popular and I was happy to shoot
again with her and see that she had the same professional (and funny at the same time) approach to her job. She one of the most professional model you can work with.
In this image I wanted to represent the sweetness and the calm charm of two women. They are showing an unusual mood in this image, where a sort of shyness lead these models, usually casual and aggressive, to cover themselves in this plastic pose. Yana's imperious tattoo is a fundamental part of this composition.

AUTHOR: Sean Glacio (Italy)

I'm a freelance photographer based in Tuscany but working all round Italy. I have approached professional photography only in recent years and I travel all around Italy for my projects. Every shooting session is an opportunity to grow both as a photographer and as a person. I use to participate to international photocontests and I already had a lot of nominations and awards.
I want to give my portraits a deep and knowable meaning "asking" my images to spread energy and emotions and sometimes denouncing what I see happening to our world.
