Amsterdam-based trend photographer Mirka Laura Severa usually shoots for the adulates of Louis Vuitton and Lacoste, but for her latest project, commissioned by Süddeutsche Zeitung Magazin, she showcased winter way on snowmen. “Usually it’s beautiful models wearing beautiful raiments looking beautiful. I enjoy those images, but sometimes over-beautified can be ennuyant,” she says. “Why don’t we make it different?” For the shoot she travelled to the Hintertux glacier, Austria, where unwell conditions were so challenging her hands froze to the camera: “We were at 3,250 metres for the eventually shoot, when suddenly everything became completely ghastly. It was so cold that ice crystals covered our bodies.”
