Puppet theater and Lena!

Greetings!

I have not exhibited anything for many days. And all this time I was like "breaking", and I wanted to write something, but I had to process photos, about which I forgot a little ... The voice really delays! :) But, at last one extraordinary photo session with Lena is ready and I can share it with you:))

So, let's start with the fact that this was the rare case when I agree to implement the idea of the model. Lena wanted to shoot in ballet accessories, in some abandoned building. But there are fewer and fewer of them in the city every year, and all the interesting ones have long been rebuilt. But just the same day, when she sent me examples of photographs, I stumbled into the news on Instagram of the new pictures of the girl, who, somehow, shot. Seeing the place presented in the photo, I immediately realized that it was the "Schwelle" doll theater.

Meeting on the day of filming, Lena said that she had already attended the theater the other day. But then the doors and windows were not boarded up, and we had to climb through a single open high window. And inside everything was more or less decent, there was not, as now broken glass everywhere, a heap of garbage, destroyed facades, broken ceilings, etc. And since then I do not leave the question, who and why everything broke: (

At first, Lena for a long time could not understand with pointe shoes. The tapes fell off all the time and she corrected them every 5 minutes. But then we already spat on this business and started shooting) Most of the time was spent on the first floor, in principle, it's because all the main locations are concentrated there, and the second one was of little interest, except for the former cupboard and balconies.
It's funny that in the rooms there are still costumes, dolls, decorations, interior items and much more. Being there, it seems that the building was leaving in a hurry ... and this is a little scary)) Even before the shooting, Lena was intimidated by strange sounds, because of which she could not inspect everything on the last visit and quickly left the theater)

Only when we started shooting, we saw how outside the window a small group of children aged 12-13 gazed through the window. It's strange, but they did not pay attention to us, although everything looks very good there. Later they even began to cut circles around the theater looking for an entrance and loud noise, and then, just like us, they penetrated through the window. While we were filming, they quietly roamed around us and broke something (it seems I'm beginning to guess who all crashed), so I had to make a note to them ... because To be here is forbidden and did not want the sudden outfit of law enforcement agencies to interfere with our creative process :)

In general, this place terribly pleased me! I was very, very inspired and did not even forget about the important moments of the composition, which can be demonstrated here especially well. And if the building does not completely dissipate any restlessness and as a whole, it will not be demolished in the near future, I hope to conduct one more survey there. This time I'm planning a fashion set, like the shots of glossy magazines. Even looked at the girl .. very similar to one familiar, real professional model: D It remains only to wait for a new camera, sew some unusual costumes and you can safely go into battle! Oh, that is to shoot))

And finally, a few words about the "Fairy Tale": now it is planned to demolish the old building and build a new one, but so far the governor does not approve of billions and half billion projects. The sketch, of course, in the plans is very beautiful, but in my opinion has a lot of frills that are not so necessary for the city, for such institutions. Because of them, the amount necessary for construction can not be reduced, and therefore the old theater continues its lonely existence, being a favorite place for photographers and curious youth.

Thank you for attention!
