[NSFW] ‘The Three Fates’: A Poetic Exploration by Nico Westlicht & Dovile Jankauskaite

Netherlands-based photographer Nico Westlicht has recently sent CVLTARTES an exclusive series starring model Dovile Jankauskaite in intimate visual storytelling.

Nico and Dovile team up to create a stunning story based on Dovile’s poem. Moreover, both the photographer and model invite the viewers to slow down and take the time to enjoy the shapes, soft light, and emotion that defines the black and white atmosphere. Exhibiting a deep understanding of her models, Nico’s work brings out the innate beauty of Dovile, amassing all the emotion within her.

I seek beauty in diversity and imperfection; I am interested in the human details that make my subjects unique: the textures of their skin, the folds of their flesh, their scars, moles, and freckles
