Though the main focus of this session was the be Nudes, Stephanie and I made some portraits as we moved out onto the glacial barrens; her dress worked particularly well with her pale skin, and the green foliage set off her red air perfectly.

Stephanie and I have been working together for more than six months, but
this was our first chance to work outdoors - between her schedule and
the weather, it took months for all the stars to align for both of us.
This was made early into the session, and has a wonderful irony -
Stephanie has told me I’d have to provide her with lots of direction, as
she had no experience posing outdoors - yet for this image, the pose
was entirely hers, and completely spontaneous!

After making the series of images of Stephanie lying on the rock, I wanted to create some portraits, but was initially at a loss as to where to make the image; a standing portrait against the foggy surroundings didn't resonate with me. Fortunately, there was a pair of boulders that had just enough space between them for Stephanie to fit in.

I really enjoyed playing with the layers that this rocky pair presented; Stephanie's body emerging between the two boulders makes perfect use of the luminous skin tones that infrared photographs provides, while making the lichens on the stones lighter as well.
