This session was several weeks in the planning, and while it deviated from the original idea (heading to a different island), it provided a fabulous opportunity to work with two models in a new, isolated location. After a short boat-ride (thanks to Hailey's connections), the two models and I were dropped off onto Shannon Island, and left to our own devices.

The first set of images were made in a drove of dead trees, which had
fallen to the ground and turned silver-white. Hailey enthusiastically
wormed her way into the branches of the largest tree, and for several
minutes, we explored the possibilities. This inspiring and engaging set
of images came to abrupt stop when I miss-stepped and fell
backwards...no cameras were hurt, but several light cuts and lacerations
on my arm and leg made us decide to leave the site, and head to more
accessible/level parts of the island.

As the session
progressed, we found more and more spaces to work with. In an attempt to get away from the harsh sunlight, I asked Ingrid if she'd pose in a small water pool on the shade side of a cliff - and minutes later the above image was born.

Towards the end of the session, before we headed back
to meet the boat, Hailey and I made some images of her by a small water
pool. The light was delicate, and the infrared camera gave a lovely
luminosity to Hailey's skin. A great high point to end upon, I look
forward to returning to Shannon Island again, and seeing what else can
be created there!
