behind the scenes

the initial conception for our shoot sprang from the

discovery of a location that possesses an incredible sense

of beauty and drama. our model, siannon, was chosen

especially for this shoot as her pale skin and red hair were

an important element in allowing us to create a striking

contrast of the body within the environment. Her enthusiasm

and energy were critical to achieving the image we created;

our work is very much a synergy between us and our

model. Grant, our producer, was in charge of the logistics

of spending a day in the harsh and isolated landscape.
