A shoot with Sasha and Wyvern (Wiktor) at Astra Studio
Video from the “photographer as model” series at Astra Studio Warsaw.
This studio shoot captures a rare and mesmerizing interaction between the model and the snake — a delicate balance of strength, fluidity, and beauty. Working with a snake in the frame demands absolute focus and attention to every movement, while the studio environment allows this connection to be emphasized with precision. The combination of continuous light and strobe lighting provided full control over the texture of skin, scales, and shadows, preserving depth and dimension. Light shapes an atmosphere where the model and the snake merge into a single visual form — calm, confident, and expressive. Studio photography with a snake is not about exoticism, but about aesthetics built on light, form, and emotion.
