This shoot has a lot
of lovely memories for me. Ellie and I had a really clear idea of a shot on a
beach with the model walking away from the camera and a beautiful calm sea and
sun. Ellie had a lovely white lacy dress that seemed perfect, so we went off to
a beach I know to be extremely photogenic to put our vision into action.
The day was spent
rather blissfully in Barmouth, north Wales, playing on the beach. Towards the
end of the day when the sun was going down, we began to take some shots, and as
we did the scene just kept getting more peaceful; the sea-birds were calling in
their high voices and the sun began to rake across the sea and beach. Warm
colours in the sky and a breeze.
We soon got this shot,
and though we kept experimenting I think we both knew which one we wanted. I
love it because it expresses something about Ellie that I love; her
inquisitiveness, sense of freedom and her amazing openness. I think it also expresses that feeling of limitless potential so readily found on a fine day with sea and mountains... we’re both really proud of it.
