SWAN LAKE by Mark Gmehling for Photoby

Character Design
This third visual from our "campaign" by Mark Gmehling, depicts the famous Russian ballet Swan Lake composed by Pyotr Tchaikovsky with Mark’s trademark twist :) Swan Lake, composed in 1875-1876 and originally staged by the world famous Bolshoi Theater in Moscow, was fashioned on Russian folk tales and tells the tragic story of Odette, a princess turned into a swan by an evil sorcerer’s curse.  The visual shows the ballet’s finale as tragic lovers Siegfried and Odette ascend into the heavens together.  Mark has filled the visual with so many delightful details that it demands a closer look.
