This series is inspired by Shakespeare's Hamlet. I had been trying to turn a photo studio into a theatre for a very long time, I believe that true emotion can only be captured when it actually happens there. Before the photoshoot, we had rehearsals where we worked with the original text and objects, this gave us a lot more possibilities and imaginations, and most importantly, we understand the character, Prince Hamlet, and his struggles much better. I would like to thank Jiri Brnula, a professional theatre actor, for his astonishing performance.
