Christian Oita was originally a writer, born in
Romania and raised in Germany. He then became an artist, and voiced his disdain for the art of photography, claiming it "is basically a lazy way of creating images with no original outcome whatsoever." It was only a few weeks later that he put down his paintbrush and picked up a camera.
He specialises in male fashion photography, but he occasionally shoots females for magazines such as this Emma Watson Wonderland cover shoot. He's used coloured backgrounds and gels and editing to create a hazy wonderland effect. The pastel colours are reminiscent of a candy scene, but he doesn't go as far to cast a colour on his face.
I will be taking his use of filters and colours in my next shoot as an experiment with portraiture.
