a tree to climb

The weather here last week was beautifully overcast, but I had no desire to shoot in it. The reason wasn't because I lost my will to do photography...certainly not :P But I simply find myself craving a new location, something not out in an open field or tucked into a forest...I still adore those locations, but I want to do something bigger, more elaborate, and everything I try these days out there seems too simple. Now it might seem strange to say, since this is essentially quite a simple picture, but the change of location was just what I needed to feel refreshed, and now I'm already on the trail of some amazing indoor locations to shoot at :-D

    this is so amazing, its very simple but the picture speaks for itself, I feel very inspired and find this very surreal, reminds me to your beginning of your art.

    wow, everything about this is just so perfect, like the dress not quite done up and the shoulder strap not on properly and the mad, splayed out hair, beautiful <3

    The imperfection of the dress just makes this! And I like how you seem to be hanging your head in shame.

  22. sparrek (13 months ago | reply)

    I love the simplicity. It's simple yet different and open for different interpretations. Gorgeous!

    This takes me back to your old work.. white room, skin and the bare shoulder is the perfect touch! Your hands I find amazing, most possibly because they help mould a wonderful world for me to potter in - and are one of the many tools you use to express your art <3

    Changeing from your norm and branching out in different direction is needed in order to grow, in life and in our endevors. This is a great start and can't wait to see where this leads you...
