Come across a magnificent shifting creature. Muse Elena in a dark series photographed by Piotr Rulka and styled by Maxime Ephritikhine. Mantis is a fashion editorial exploring the theme of femme fatale. The main motive was inspired by the sexual cannibalism observed in most predatory species of mantis. This act is seen when female begins feeding of the male’s bitten head during the sexual encounter. Mantis challenges the male gaze by confronting erotic performances with the sinister female figure. https://www.nastymagazine.com/fashion/mantis-by-piotr-rulka/ Creative Direction & Photography • Rulka Piotr | @rulka_piotr Production • Farrell Alexandra | @alexandra__farrell Muse • Salvi Elena | @babel.ena Style • Ephritikhine Maxime | @maaaxance Hair • Moura Daniel | @danmoura_hair Make-up • Lascala Margerita | @margheritalascala
