MAGDA An Open Heart pretty young naked woman

For Petter Hegre, photography is about being personal.

WE LIVE in the age of the image and while nude and erotic photography is constantly changing as a means of expression, the process of finding girls with the emotional charisma, as well as the other more obvious attributes, is the motor that drives Hegre-Art.

Magda came to meet Petter Hegre after winning a beauty contest and they did two sessions, the first in the forest and the second in an abandoned factory, the contrast of all that dust and old steel against the tall, skinny child-like figure of Magda, naked in an unfamiliar landscape, the perfect metaphor of the changes that have taken place in eastern Europe during her lifetime.

Magda had been working in a sewing shop repairing clothes before winning the beauty contest in Warsaw and stripped her clothes off for the first time for the Hegre camera.
