The thesis is inspired by the literary work The Master and Margarita by Russian author Mihail Bulgakov. The course of the narrative is analysed in order to find the mental images it evokes. I am interested in the comparison between word and image, how the narrative flows through the text and how through a series of photographs. I also analysed the term magical realism in literature and photography as it is the main source of inspiration for the creation of my own narrative throught photography. In the practical part of the thesis I created a series of directed photographs that were presented in a photobook.
The whole process of realising a directed photographic project and the creation of a photobook is presented: finding a suitable locations, set design, costume design, working with models, the use of specific (usually combined: natural and studio) lighting, choosing the format and paper.
