Light Your Way Home
Model is the exceptionally handsome and talented Cameron Sarradet
The idea behind this photo is inspired by a story I read about a man whose wife had gone missing and he lit a candle in his window every night so that she would be able to find her way home. I wanted to use this beautiful old window in a photo during the meetup and I knew that Cameron was the perfect choice to be in the photo. In perfect timing, one of the barn cats came and sat right in the frame and I had to keep it.
I have so many photos to edit and post, I'll probably be taking a bit of a break in my 365 project but still be posting everyday!

That barn cat totally makes this for me. But seriously stunning light in this. And yes, a very handsome model. :)

Those candles melting onto the window is just the perfect touch. And the blue sky contrasts so perfectly with the orange flames. Love!

The colours in the sky, Joel!
And man, the look on his face. It goes so well with the description.
I wish the barn cat wasn't there, but it adds kind of a homely touch, as if it was the wife's cat, and he had to look after her now.
Love this.

This is incredible! His expression is really the best.
Ethan Coverstone (10 months ago | reply)
LOVE this one, Joel! Just found the lighter out in the field actually...hahaha. the candles on the top of the window are a perfect touch! love the blue/orange combo! so perfect!
Cameron John Sarradet (10 months ago | reply)
Every single detail of this is perfect. The way you've arranged the candles in a linear fashion so that they create a focal point for my face and then lead you off towards the candles on top and then down to the cat...just incredible. I'm so honored.

Gorgeous. I love the concept and the image.
I have had my photos dogbombed, but never catbombed. Animal photobombs always seem to add to the perfect mood. They make great guerilla models :).
