This shoot featured on Black Magazine's BLACKlog is one of my very favourites so far. I had the idea and concept in mind for a long time, taking the time to plan it very well as I knew it would be very difficult both visually and technically.
The entire shoot is shot through glass, with me lying under the glass on my back shooting upwards, while the model leaned on top of the glass looking down at me. It's a hard set to explain, and was probably the most complicated set I've ever had. There were lights coming from all directions, black material to stop reflections, platforms, reflectors. You name it, I had it there! But it was so worth it and I am thrilled with the result. I wanted the glass element to be almost unrecognizable, and wanted the viewer to question the elements of the image. Overall, I'm stoked with how it turned out!
The model Talia @ Red11 did the most amazing job, I have no doubt in my mind that this girl is going to be a star, she's absolutely stunning and such a sweetie! I love the styling of this shoot done by Juvena Worsfold, it was exactly what I had imagined, and beautiful hair & Makeup done by the talented Rebekah Banks.
