ONE AND THE OTHER: an exclusive online editorial by Nina Raasch

“We are good friends outside of work and we love creating together,“ explains photographer Nina Raasch, when asked about the team behind One And The Other, her new shoot for 10 DE.

”Something that keeps coming up in many of our shoots is this contrast between hard and soft. We are drawn to beautiful images but never really to perfection,“ says stylist Saskia Jung. “ We love introducing something unexpected, a little imperfection or a contrasting element. If something feels too soft, we might add something hard or weird to it. If something feels too strict or strong, we like bringing in something delicate.”

It’s this contrast that formed the nucleus for their new story, shot on the streets of Paris, last month. “We both love strong women, but we are also interested in the broader idea of masculine and feminine energies,” explains Raasch.

Stylist Jung used clothing to portray this duality, pairing strong tailoring and oversized silhouettes, with delicate fabrics and exposed skin. “We often try to separate or define these qualities,” she explains. “when in reality they coexist within all of us. Every person carries different energies and there is something beautiful about giving all of them space to exist without having to choose one over the other.”
