The Pomegranate Garden

Type Portrait
Location Istria, Croatia
Year 2026

An afternoon at home, shot entirely in what the trees gave us.

No studio, no lights, no location scouting. This one was shot at home, with Mirela. A pomegranate tree in fruit, a bougainvillea past its peak, and a wall of green at the far end of the garden: three backdrops within thirty steps of each other, worked in sequence as the light moved.

Makeup by Kristina (@beauty_by_kristina06), who shaped the look for daylight rather than flash: soft liner, warm skin, nothing that would fight the greens.
