In 2014, after a few years of shooting stories for the world’s top fashion magazines, Lina Scheynius needed a break – not from photography, but from fashion. She longed to focus on her art and while Lina’s world was no longer one of luxury clothes and top models, she never changed her modus operandi or aesthetics. Running through her work is a constant quest for casual intimacy, an unanticipated tenderness.
For this issue of Bon, we asked her to return once more to the fashion world. In a series of intimate meetings, undisturbed by hair and makeup artists, Lina captured models, friends
and acquaintances one-on-one – a conversation on the beauty of women. Over the following
pages we present the result: Confidential, almost private portraits taken during a summer spent in New York and London.
