Margarita TFP — Sherif Wahba · Youssef Yasser

Studio test · Cairo, 2022 · with Youssef Yasser

A time-for-print session — the arrangement where a photographer and a model trade an afternoon for the pictures, nothing else changing hands. No client, no brief, no brand to serve. Just tailoring, a black backdrop, and the studio lights.

What follows is the layout exactly as it was designed: black-and-white chiaroscuro, a filmstrip of seven frames, and a single turn into oxblood leather before the room falls dark again.

Time for print — no fee, no brief. A photographer and a model, a black studio, and an afternoon to find a face.

Tailoring against shadow. The suit disappears into the background and leaves only the light on skin.

One turn in colour — leather against warm grey — before the room goes dark again.
