As the world’s deepest and clearest lake,Siberia’s Lake Baikalis picturesque all on its own.
But when you add incredible fashion and colorful lighting, it takes on a new air of magic.
Working in collaboration withSmugMug, Makeeva commissioned fashion that would highlight the landscape and create a surreal atmosphere.
SmugMug followed Makeeva as she created this dreamscape fantasy for the short filmImagination Unbound.
Coming to Lake Baikal for the shoot was a natural choice for Makeeva.
Baikal is a very beautiful place but its also a very spiritual place, she shares in the film.
It has an energy that you’re free to feel.
It has a transcendental element that really drives my creativity.
Its another world and one of my favorite places on earth.
It’s breathtaking work that reinforces her position as a top fine art photographer.
