Black&White Queens Creative Photography

Black&White Queens Creative photography is an innovative artistic photography project that explores the dynamic interplay between contrasting elements through a human-sized chess game concept. Created by Charlotte's Look, this creative photographic series features two prominent models representing the black and white queens of chess, symbolizing duality and friendship within the Swiss photography scene. The project, which earned a Golden A' Design Award in the Photography and Photo Manipulation Design category, masterfully combines conceptual photography with symbolic representation. The artistic direction deliberately employs the chess theme as a metaphor for strategic positioning and visual contrast, while simultaneously celebrating the professional relationship between two leading figures in Swiss modeling. Shot by photographer James Vyn, the series demonstrates exceptional technical execution in composition, lighting, and narrative development. The project's artistic merit lies in its ability to transform a classical game motif into a contemporary artistic statement, utilizing human subjects to personify chess pieces in a way that transcends mere representation to explore deeper themes of duality, competition, and collaboration. The work's recognition by the A' Design Award jury underscores its significance in pushing the boundaries of creative photography through its innovative concept, technical excellence, and artistic vision, establishing new paradigms in conceptual portrait photography and creative direction.
