Shibari Pond
Strongly inspired by Japanese erotic culture, this series explores the close relationship between sex and death - two concepts that are heightened here by the underwater environment: sensual waters / deadly waters...

Kimono brand : Mou Ichido Bali.
MUA : Dex Windia.
Over time, water became much more than just a nice background : "When you immerse yourself in the water, you immediately enter a complete new world. Even a simple pool is a kind of rabbit hole to me : it allows me to go in Wonderland on a single breath hold."
In order to work on an equal basis with her models, Charlotte always uses apnea during her underwater photoshoots.
