... and felt in love with Czeck photographer Jan Saudek, he would probably become the New York based photographer Aneta Bartos.
Think about nanny's old photo albums and you will get Aneta's thing.
Aneta's images keep the allure and blurred atmosphere of a 70's Cacharel add signed by Sarah Moon, the British model turned photographer that conquered the fashion world with her girlie view of the French label.
As Sarah, Aneta blurs her images and brings us back the glamour of Marlene Dietrich or Greta Garbo. A decadent Glamour.
Hers are pictures clearly made by a woman, and you happily realize that thanks to the strange and yet so beautiful faces of the models she chooses to work with. Hers are models far from being just mere manequins or a man's desires players. Instead they have their own personality and stories to tell. She's not even afraid to talk about women's feelings as she does for Australian magazine Noise's fashion editorial Maternal Instics... A photographer to keep our eyes on.

Beautiful work in deed. There is something really art nouveau here...maybe the fascination with the female aura but also from the mortality in all of us. This images are ghostly, ethereal like memories...Memories of a very human and wise female spirit.
Amazing, dream-like photos. And so reminiscent of daguerrotypes while still being very modern.
