Take the ravishing Michelle Van Dijk, dress up her abounding sensuality in sheer black and white, making sure to carefully trot out every angle of her flawless body, and you’ll find yourself descending yet again into what is Glen Krohn‘s mesmerizing universe of photography. To lock yourself there, is to try and undress her of all of her secrets, longing and anticipating, breathing in the forbidden air, getting close only to feel further away.
Observing does not equal knowing, the most intimate moments bearing invisible shields, the most revealing of states concealing the fundamentals. So if you think you know her, just by laying eyes on her half-naked physique, you have no idea. You may be invading her universe, only to realize there’s no deciphering the riddle she became.
With make-up by Kat O’hara and hair by Nancy Evans, check the complete photo shoot at the gallery.
