Duo Portra Studio

Photography project initiated by Kasper Demeulemeester. I created the identity and helped out with converting the caravan. A bit more about the project in Kasper’s own words:

In the summer of 2013 ninety duo’s entered the Duo Portra Studio, a photographic caravan at Plazey Festival in Brussels.

One by one they conquered their fear and shame and were led into the dark of the caravan, blindfolded and enchanted. During the DPS sessions, they became subsequently photographer and model of someone they didn’t know, just met or were very familiar with.

What happened behind the closed door of the caravan during those sessions will forever remain the secret of those who dared to cross the threshold. We can only observe their eyes and their face in the pictures they made of each other and see if we can find ourselves there, or someone else, or nobody, or everyone.
