The session will be inspired by an artist that both us and our model adore: Yayoi Kusama. We will celebrate not only her art but her whole personality. Kusama’s famous Infinity Rooms and other artworks will be incorporated in this session through the use of virtual background, in front of which our model Jess will strike different poses. The polka dots will play an important role in the poses.
