Berlin Photographer Kerstin zu Pan's Colorful Supervision Series

"SUPERVISION"
by berlin photographer kerstin zu pan


"Beauty in unusual circumstances comes easily to the camera of Kerstin zu Pan, one of Berlin's most original photographers. Her photos are moments amid stories - playful wild stories that leave the reviewer guessing. Her work is expressive, ebulliant, and strange. There is always more here than is apparent at first glance."
--Clayton Maxwell, Eyemazing 3/2007











Thanks so much to Kerstin for her permitting me to reproduce these photos.

Wonder Twin Powers, Activate! Form of Photo Essay by Kerstin zu Pan.

Photographer Kerstin zu Pan's latest project, Twinpower, is a series of photographs in which twins, dressed, styled and posed alike punctuate exterior environments.



Donning bright satin shiny dresses by Kat van Duinen, statuesque twins Roxanne and Simone, add color to the landscapes in a uniquely stylized manner.

Like much of the Berlin photographer's work, it is striking in its composition and eye-catching in its color. Below are more images from the shoot, procured from the make-up and hair artist, Ingrid Navratil.

Kerstin zu Pan's "Extra Virgin" photography series

A few months ago, I introduced you to the talented photographer Kerstin zu Pan and her "Supervision" project.

The Berlin photographer's latest series, "Extra Virgin", was shot on the beaches of South Africa with a bunch of stunning models from Vision Models. The images utilize the landscape as much as they do the interesting masks used as props on the undressed women.

The following images can be enlarged by clicking upon them. I advise you to view them in a new window or tab, so you can easily return to the post.

I asked Kerstin a few questions about her latest project and she kindly obliged me with the following answers.

What was your inspiration?
The rainbow theme is something I worked with in the last years in my Fine Art projects. In my new series "Extra Virgin" its reduced, but still the basic inspiration.

What is the signficance of the masks?
Last Year I bought 20 masks in all colours in a giftshop in Singapore, and I knew immediatley that I wanted to shoot them in South Africa in these white dunes. Masks are a nice accessory to work with - they always let the viewer guessing whats behind - but the reality will never be revealed.

Why do the models lack any genitalia?
You know, I think with pictures it´s the same like with jokes... they get destroyed when you explain them.
