under my control

Back to Journal

This shoot was inspired by Annika. We wrote down things she could say and played with them on camera — a femme fatale, her queen persona, and the men caught in her web.

“Kneel for your queen.”
“I’m a maneater.”
“Under me, where you belong.”
“Stuck in my spiderweb.”
“I’m inside your head, you’re under my control.”
“It’s all about me.”
