Photography
‘Feminine, sensual and a bit dark,’ is how Senta Simond describes her photography, a medium she arrived at after her teenage years were spent watching the cinematic feats of Fellini, Kubrick, Godard and Argento. ‘I prefer to say I’m interested in images rather than just photography,’ she elucidates. In line with her heroes, her final project focused on the creation of whole environments. ‘It’s a collection of women, styles, decors and places. Of greatest importance to me is the placement of these elements. It’s a mix of all my fascinations, envies, whims and obsessions. I wanted to stop time and create my own universe.’ Watch out for further articulation of Simond’s imagined worlds; she’s about to launch her own fashion magazine as part of her Masters.
