Miss Red: I have lived in Paris for 5 years, but I grew up in Poland. I started learning about fetish culture by going to fetish parties, and I was a fetish model for a short time. I wanted to express myself because for me, fetish is fun and amusing. I wanted to show this side of the scene in a fun way: with happiness and colors. Since then, I have had a few expositions at French fetish parties, such as Fetish in Paris and Pervarty. Many of my photos were used for fetish parties in Europe, and I had an exposition at the Demonia Boutique in Paris. I call many of the photographers, stylists and party organizers my friends. Eros Zine: You've said you do not want to reflect the sadness of your country in your photographs. What is this sadness? Miss Red: It is not sadness that I don't want to reflect, but the lack of variety in color in my childhood. Everything was gray: the streets, the toilet paper, even the gift wrapping. Color gives me energy and life, and this is what I want to reflect.
Miss Red: What attracts me to photography is that it possible for me to create an imaginary world, a perfect world according to my wishes. I use very intense, contrasting colors to give my images an unreal dimension. Inspiration can come from anywhere. It's a combination of many things that touched me in a single day. Sometimes they're quite ordinary things… perhaps I find an interesting object that inspires me, and I create the atmosphere around it. Sometimes a model's attitude inspires me, or it could be a film, painting or picture. I never try to reproduce the true visual world. Eros Zine: Your models look like they're having a great time playing in front of your lens. What's the mood on a set?
Eros Zine: Can you walk me through a typical shoot? Miss Red: There is no typical shoot. Usually it starts the same: while the models are getting make-up done, I prepare my set and the photography equipment. We choose the wardrobe. I tell a story to put the models in the correct frame of mind, and we start to shoot. I can't get more than what the model gives me. That's why it is so important to have a good rapport with the model and we have to have trust in each other. Afterwards, we drink, laugh and eat together. I couldn't do anything without my lovely husband, Red Man, since our common passion is photography. We support each other in every way, from ordinary technical things to positive emotional support.
Miss Red: I prepare all the set decorations myself. I buy or borrow all the supplies, and sometimes I make it myself. I love going to the flea market because I find fun stuff there. At the beginning I also did the make-up, hair and styling for my photos, but now I work with make-up artists and stylists, so I can focus on the set itself. Eros Zine: The colors in your images are so vibrant! How much computer retouching do you do? Miss Red: 2 cigarettes' worth. Eros Zine: You are also a graphic designer. How do you think these skills influence each other? Miss Red: Not too much because I work in architecture as a graphic designer, and there is not too much in common with fetish photography. Eros Zine: What's next for you? Miss Red: I haven't been taking pictures for very long, and right now it is a question of evolution, of experience and of improvement.
