Although many people think she is Swedish, due to the fact that she's a recording artist and film actress in that country, Izabella Scorupco was born in Poland.  While spending some time in New York pursuing acting opportunies in 1989, it was her career as a fashion model that brought Izabella Scorupco to the attention of photographer Steve Landis.  "I always enjoy meeting and working with talented new models or actors of promise.  Top swimsuit models and female fitness models have nothing on  Izabella, an avid exerciser.  I believe she is one of the most physically fit actresses in the business and one of the true beauty faces.  Had she seriously wanted to pursue any aspect of modeling, she would have been very successful.  The problem was she has many talents, she had just recorded an album, and was already appearing in feature films in Europe. Izabella Scorupco really didn't have time to devote to fashion modeling.  One of my favorite female glamour models, Izabella Scorupco is a gem.

Izabella Scorupco was photographed by Steve Landis using Tri-x 120 film exposed in a Mamiya RB67 camera body with a 180mm lens.  Film was processed by hand, and printed on Ilford paper at Lab One in New York.  Barbara Sansone did Izabella's make-up.

About the photographer . .
New York based, Steve Landis likes shooting fine art, female glamour photography on location. Creating simple but powerful images are trademarks of Landis' work.  Famous photographers that have influenced his work, include Helmut Newton, Lucien Clerge, Richard Avedon and Arthur Elgort.   Over the years, Steve feels fortunate to have been able to meet each of those photographers.  They all have completely different approaches to their use of female models, but share general ideals of beauty and use black and white photography in a rich way.
