POWER IN-TRANSIT
Model/Creative Director: Annie Herdz
1. What significant life experiences or events have influenced and shaped your artistic vision?
I have always enjoyed showing people the details that we normally overlook. Through photography and capturing a moment at a specific time, I try to reveal the instant and what others do not perceive so easily. All of this is influenced by my emotions or my personal situation at that particular moment, leading me to create different photographic styles. Although I like to do all kinds of photography and do not stick to just one field, it is nature, architecture, and animals that inspire me the most.
2. Collaboration often sparks fresh creativity. Can you share an example of a collaboration that led to an unexpected and exciting artistic outcome?
This is the first collaboration I have done with models in a professional manner, although I have obviously done other shots and portraits within my close circle, which have helped me to better understand people’s emotions so as to photograph and showcase their essence in a more artistic way.
3. Walk us through a specific project that challenged your creative boundaries. How did you approach it, and what did you learn from the experience?
This particular project that so far has meant to me the greatest creative and artistic challenge for me, was a self-photographic and intimate work in a unique range of black and white, that demonstrated myself the power of photography to convey my personal way of perceiving myself in the most intimate and direct way to the public.
4. In the ever-evolving art world, what do you believe sets your work apart and makes it unique or groundbreaking?
Although it is very difficult to do something in photography that has not been done already, I try to capture the “detail within the detail” that my eye sees uniquely, thanks to what I’ m able to perceive. There is a phrase that deeply inspired me and that summarizes my vision: “If you think your photo is not good enough, it’s because you haven’t got close enough.” This idea brought me closer to a “miniature” world much bigger than I could have ever imagined.
5. As you reflect on your journey, are there any specific goals or milestones you've set for your artistic career in the coming years?
I do not yet have an extensive career, and I would like to explore new and different fields. In any case, there is a topic that catches my attention, that intrigues me, and so could motivate me in the near future. This would be developing my career as a war photographer or covering natural disasters, to mention a few.

This editorial turns the subway into an unexpected stage for dominance and rebellion; masculinity redefined, and gender fluidity where power is not only displayed but claimed.
The oversized suit challenges conventional ideas of femininity while amplifying her presence.
She doesn’t shrink — she expands, she occupies, she owns; telling a story of self-possession, not disguise.
Behind her, an escalator rises and falls — a quiet metaphor for societal hierarchy and movement. While the world rushes past, she remains still, anchored, commanding. — the subway becomes a stage, her suit a statement, her presence a manifesto.
Confidence is not loud — it is deliberate and quiet, but absolute.
This editorial challenges perception: who gets to exude authority? Who is permitted to take up space?
The answer stands before us — poised, unapologetic, and timeless. She doesn’t mimic power. She embodies it.
She doesn’t adapt to the space. She owns it.
And in that moment, the rules — of gender, of fashion, of who commands attention — quietly crumble.
