Julio Bárcena Captures Dasha Vikhreva in 'The Spirit of Nature' for Harper's Mexico

Model and photographer create visual bliss in ‘The Spirit of Nature’, featuring model Dasha Vikhreva and Barcelona-based photographer & director Julio Bárcena, In a poignant but practical sign of the times, Julio updates clients about taking small steps out of confinement in Barcelona, beginning May 11. A photographic production set can go into creative execution, within the guidelines of established “safe working conditions.” We wish him well.

Meanwhile, Barcena’s glorious fashion story, styled by Miguel Angel Ruiz for Harper’s Bazaar Mexico and Latin America May 2020 offers a momentary visual respite. These gorgeous images remind us that nothing can be taken for granted anymore. Not the power and beauty of nature, or the place of humans in it. Reality is suddenly very fragile, a message channeled perfectly and forcefully by Dasha Vikhreva. / Hair & makeup Rafit Noy; editor Gonzalo Zumalacarregui
