With her new project “Parallax 2020,” DariaStrokous explores fashion photography beyond the restrictions of the studio.
, Strokous, who is signed to Elite Model Management in New York, is used to starring in high-concept fashion stories. As a student of the University of Southern California’s film school who has acting credits in movies such as, Strokous has viewed the creative process from both sides. Like many in fashion, she found herself missing the atmosphere of a set once she began isolating at home in Los Angeles.
Dubbed “Parallax 2020,” the project includes a short film directed by Morgantini and still images shot by Strokous, then enhanced by Durasova’s abstract painting. Evocative and atmospheric, they take the concept of at-home snapshots to the next level. Strokous was in the driver’s seat, charged with doing her own makeup and setting up each shot to execute the ideas she, Durasova, and Morgantini came up with.
By playing multiple parts, Strokous found herself gaining new insight into the creative process. “Usually, the photographer is on the other side of the camera, and you never get to feel their viewpoint and see what they see,” she says. “I can only see myself from one angle while they’re able to move around and see you from every side—this was the opposite experience.” It helped that Strokous and Durosova had a decades-long friendship.
