Time must feel much slower when there’s nothing to do but wait, still it’s that same sequence of seconds, minutes and hours to grant desire to build up, to allow a woman to increase her magnetism, to rewrite her story, to reinvent her personality, over and over again. Capturing those sensuous moments filled with promise and expectation, power duo Sergey Korolkov and Maria Popova bring life and beauty to the emptiness of a hotel room, laying out plenty of possibilities but revealing little.

And there’s nothing sexier than the portrayal of a stunning woman, ready to impress in fitted bandage dresses, or lacy lingerie, dressing the bareness of a bed with seductive poses and penetrating eyes; eyes framed by heavy wings, lips made glossy and hair falling in loose curls as envisioned by hair & make-up artist Yana Shel.
