Elizaveta Porodina Captures Jena Goldsack In 'Mad Max' Luxury Style For Conde Nast Traveller

What a pleasure it is to update and expand photographer Elizaveta Porodina’s 2019 fashion story shot in the Oman desert. Porodina captures model Jena Goldsack in adventure-seeking clothes and spoiled-women elegance styled by Martha Ward for Conde Nast Traveller.

Elizaveta Porodina has emerged as an artist photographer who continues to evolve technically without sacrificing her original vision as an artist. Porodina has elevated her client’s imagery almost without parallel among young photographers.

AOC expresses Anne’s thoughts on the photographer’s techniques in their shared perspectives influenced by cultural symbolism and Jungian psychology in a brand new post 'Mother of Pearl' by Elizaveta Porodina for W Magazine China January 2025 Art Issue.

AOC dug into this 2019 Conde Nast photoshoot today for Renewal after looking at Porodina’s evolution in her AOC Archives. The photoshoot also links psychologically to our recent Renewal of the 2014 Louis Vuitton ‘Spirit of Travel Campaign’. That Louis Vuitton blanket really gets around the world in fashion shoots, and AOC wants to document its path. Anne is so deeply impacted by the 2014 campaign, that there are no words — sometimes only misty-eyes — to explain her response to the ‘Spirit of Travel’ video over a decade later.

Yet another reason that AOC renewed this Conde Nast Traveller photoshoot concerns its location in Oman. We’ll give you a clue that we learned that desert surfing and sand boarding are very similar adventure sports according to AOC’s world-class, AI for scholars.

Anne promised last week to track down desert surfing in the Middle East and North Africa, while writing about the Zimmermann Spring 2025 campaign. Following the Conde Nast Traveller hospitality links, we’re close to sharing that story.

LOL. Nothing is ever simple on Anne of Carversville, and we gravitate to story-telling whenever possible. And you, dear friends of AOC, are along for the ride.
