Imprint on Mars
Imprint on Mars was directed and photographed by Alexandra Klöhn.
It was shot for up-and-coming South African designer Mzukisi Mbane and his luxury fashion brand Imprint ZA, featuring Namibian models Maria Nepembe and Silvanus Nepsyle.
Imprint is an Afro-Futuristic Pan-African fashion brand. Created to celebrate the glamour as well as to tell the stories of our African ancestors by using iconic prints, fabrics and specific points in time. Put more succinctly, the brand has a simple and often-stated ethos: Leave a mark.
Alexandra is a Namibian photographer and creative director who specialises in swimwear, fine art nude and fashion. During her childhood in Namibia she was exposed to an abundance of nature and visually rich landscapes providing her with a strong connection to mother earth, which is her favourite backdrop for photoshoots. With the many lighting and scenery variables that nature has to offer she enjoys using natural light to enhance and capture her subject in a vulnerable and raw setting.
Among other fashion editorials and fine art nude projects, Alexandra is currently working on her new personal series Duende, photographing daring women in the diverse landscapes of Namibia.
