The Joy in the Discomfort of Others

This project is by me, Rieke Reinink, and it was inspired by the sight of businesswomen trying to hurry between work and home in the rain or during a storm. For an outsider, this often creates an amusing spectacle. These impeccably dressed, this moment of vulnerability offers something demanding, perhaps even joyful. It's a light-hearted reminder that men's and little animals to protect them.

The photos were taken on Borgartún in Reykjavik. I would like to thank my three models, Sigríður Langdal, Laura Hartmann, and Amalie Rybakova for their help with the photos. I took the photos myself but had assistance from Marie Branche and I'm also happy to Daine Francoiseau for keeping the models warm during the shoot.
