The client was a fashion designer who works mainly in silk, and the brief was to show how versatile and light the fabric can be. The looks weren't finished garments: the stylist draped the silk directly on the model on set. As the photographer, I chose to capture the models as they jumped, catching the instant in mid-air when the fabric floats, soft and weightless, as if underwater. After a light retouch, the images were used for the designer's catalog and to promote their exhibition.

Standing look — copper silk wrapped asymmetrically over one shoulder, a pink sash at the waist and a full skirt of layered mauve, cream and pleated silksThe same look photographed in mid-air, barefoot and suspended, the layered skirt spread open by the jumpLeaning pose — black silk bodice with a deep red rolled shoulder, red and black draped skirt, the model turned away with her hair in a high ponytailThe black and red look full length, facing the camera, the ruffled red shoulders framing the draped silk skirtSand-coloured silk with a sculptural shoulder rosette over a mauve drape, worn with a full white tulle underskirt, hand raised to the faceThe same look in mid-air, barefoot, the tulle and the embroidered silk lifted by the jumpCredits — photography and retouch, styling, make-up, model and backstage assistant
