I have always loved the photography of Hans Silvester whose exploration of our world always captures the most intimate and enigmatic of natural phenomena. I was extremely delighted to find his amazonian shoot for the Hermes campaign. I love the mysterious and tranquil feel of the shoot with the solitary figures appearing truly at one with their oily green and blue surroundings. As with past photographs by Silvester these photographs create a feeling of discovery. It is as if we have just happened across an unknown tribe stunningly decorated to mimic their environment. What an exciting shoot!
