Arthur Iskandaro (AI) – Zukiro (Z)

How did you find each other for the photo shoot?

Z: I have been watching Arthur’s work for a long time, I really liked the way he sees his models. We had a talk on Instagram and decided to work together.

Was there any preparation before shooting?

AI: Yes, I sent some references as a moodboard, but I prefer more improvise.

Z: I was just expecting to have a good time. I have already convinced myself many times that a lot depends on the mood of the model.

What was the first impression of each other?

AI: When I select models, I clearly imagine types and understand their appearance. But when I visited Zurab’s profile, I saw a model who is a completely different person in each photo. He is positive and enthusiastic person in live.

Z: When I came to the studio, I realized that Arthur is a sensitive person with great interest in his hobby. It’s really important for me.

If there was – what was the most difficult thing during the shooting?

AI: For me, nothing.

Z: There were difficulties before the shooting – when I turned back from from breakfast, my hotel door wouldn’t open and the staff had to break it down, and I was worried that I would be late for the shooting.

What do you do when you are not photographing/modelling?

AI: An easy question! Everything connected to visual design. I’m a CG artist, architect.

Z: I have huge experience in management consulting and with start-ups. Recently I received an international certification in life coaching and now I help clients achieve their goals and create their future! I really enjoy working with people and seeing their results. There are also several business projects.

What makes you happy?

AI: Definitely aesthetics and progress in work.

Z: What actually makes me happy is always choosing myself, my needs and interests and doing what I love to do.
