Polish photographer Kasia Bielska started shooting about four years ago before she decided to take a long break from it all. Now she’s back, and her first story was shot exclusively for Ben Trovato. Three Colors – RED features Ania K from Mango Models, who was styled by Kamila Picz, had make up done by Marcin Szczepaniak and hair by Tymoteusz Pieta from Claudius Hair Tresser Team.
Kasia says this about the story: “- Three Colors – RED is the story of a creature that transcends to another dimension by means of an unreal space and colour. The photos have been inspired by an enclosed space – the interiors of the Park Inn hotel in Cracow, Poland. I had some graphic visions in my mind prior to the shooting, a shape forming from two colours – white and black. As soon as I saw the interiors, however, I knew it was going to be a story of three colours.
She is based out of Cracow, but studies at the film school in Lodz. She says she is inspired by the things around her, may that be colours, light or space: “- It is often a fairytale, though. Ones that come to me in dreams that I still remember in the morning. For some miraculous reason.
Here’s Three Colors – RED by Kasia Bielska, for Ben Trovato:

Chalet Black Pearl by Philippe Capezzone

Built by Philippe Capezzone, owner and architect of the five star Hotel Kilimandjaro in Courchevel 1850, the Black Pearl Chalet was conceived to “answer the most demanding criteria in terms of luxury and comfort.
A wonderful mix of contemporary design mingled with traditional Savoyard stone and classic woodwork panelling and beautifully finished with many designer materials and furnishings.”
The 3,330 square foot, three story luxury chalet is ideally situated between the village of Val d’Isère and the Funival funicular in La Daille, in the French Alps.
