Maryna Linchuk, Lazy Afternoon

There’s that kind of afternoon—nothing to do, no one around, and time hangs on you. Lukewarm cola, magazines falling apart in your lap, hands on yourself out of pure boredom.

Victor Demarchelier photographed Maryna like this for 25 Magazine, and what’s strange is how it works. No narrative, no angle, no performance. Just the actual weight of a few hours alone. Fashion photography usually sells you something, but this one just shows what doing nothing looks like, and that’s harder to pull off than it seems.
