In shortYuliya photographs ten children from a modelling school shifting between playful looks and a classic old-money aesthetic to reveal different sides of their personalities without losing their true selves.
This photo project brought together ten children, each with their own personality, temperament and appearance.
As students of a modelling school, they learn to explore different looks, express themselves and step into different styles. We wanted to show how naturally they can move from bright, playful and energetic looks to something more classic, elegant and refined, inspired by the old-money aesthetic.
The idea was not to make children look older, but to show another side of their personalities through fashion and aesthetics. Beautiful surroundings, the iconic Porsche 911 Carrera, the sea and elegant yachts became part of this visual story.
No matter how elegant or luxurious the setting may be, the most important thing is to preserve what makes childhood so special: spontaneity, curiosity, joy, individuality and that beautiful little spark of life in every child.
Because being able to look different, try new things and express yourself is wonderful — but never losing your true self is even more beautiful.
