One of my favourite movies "Tess" starring Nastassja Kinski was the inspiration for this shoot. I love the opening scene of the peasant girls dancing in the english fields. Lucky me has a wonderful neighbour "Mel" who collects old wedding dresses, back in her later teenage years she would wear them to work and yes it was just a normal office job at an architect (eccentric - yes). Tara Cassidy, a stunning ethereal model I love photographing was keen to model. As often on those creative whims it all happens over a couple of days so luckily Holly was able to help with make up. Photographed around the my local area of Frenchs Forest. Almost causing a woman driving near Oxford Falls to drive off the road, she looked liked she had seen a ghost when she saw Tara in one of the old vintage dresses. I figured we had the right look. |
