Inspired by a tensely silent, deeply cinematic mood and the sculptural precision of 1960s sterile modernism, this first chapter by photographer Fedor Borodin finds beauty in simplicity. A minimalist villa sets the scene — remote, sun-drenched, and impossibly still. Within it, a couple unfolds in slow motion. They drift from interiors soaked in soft light to sun-washed patios, finding quiet rituals in one another’s company. Their wardrobe mirrors the setting: structured yet intimate, polished but undone.
The purity of the space echoes the couple’s fashion — a study in balance between form and feeling. Meanwhile, the aesthetic subtly nods to Peter Lindbergh’s emotional minimalism and Helmut Newton’s cool sensuality, all filtered through Borodin’s lens: intuitive, instinctive, and unmistakably personal.
Then, in a bold shift of backdrop and tone, the couple reappears — this time, on the golf course. Desert minimalism gives way to manicured greens, yet the same undercurrent of intimacy pulses beneath the surface. Here, love takes a playful turn: there’s movement, flirtation, even a touch of surrealism. A sculptural cake made of golf balls, a chrome club turned into a prop — it’s whimsical, strange, and somehow still romantic.
The styling sharpens: white pleats, braids, and sculptural florals meet noir tailoring. Even the light feels more mischievous through Borodin’s lens. It’s still a portrait of connection, but one that dances instead of whispers. Together, these two acts create a layered depiction of modern love — equal parts stillness and spontaneity, solitude and surrealism.
