It\u2019s Spring \u2013 my favourite time of year.\u00a0\u00a0The flowers are out in abundance with the delicate petals peering all around. However, on the day of the shoot there was still a touch of the winter chill in the air. Wrapped in scarves, jackets and jerseys we headed for Elgin\u2019s Old Mac Daddy Luxury Trailer Park which is nestled in nature and orchards. The trailers are individually designed but we chose not to feature them (perhaps for another shoot) \u2026 I wanted to highlight the naturalness of being, to express the enchantment with oneself in nature. <\/em><\/p>\n

Maryke our female model, is such a beautiful creature with a great softness about her, yet with enough feistiness to get into the role of cheeky-garden-nymph-ess. And then there was Luc, the male model, I am sure he doesn\u2019t often get to just play and relax on shoot, although looking natural can be hard work. For the opening DPS I shot Luc and Maryke walking down a dusty path, walking wasn\u2019t quite right, more like a skip, jiggle and dance was required. Maryke says to Luc, \u201cPlay a tune in your head\u2026 la, la, la, la, trala, la, laaaa\u2026.. and then you just get into it!\u201d Better direction than that I couldn\u2019t have offered. I wanted the models to be part of the environment, so I chose to shoot through flowers, branches and foliage, but not too much: \u201cWe must still be able to see the fashion,\u201d says Alexis \u2013 Fashion Editor. <\/em><\/p>\n

I had Luc running through an apple orchard in another shot, I, of course, was nestled in the long sheaths of grass, peering this way and that. By the end, my Levi\u2019s had developed their own personality. <\/em><\/p>\n

Carl was on set too, as you know he is one of my favourite make-up artists. He made Maryke\u2019s hair light and bouncy, with romantic curls and natural smoky make-up with an accent on the 60s eyelashes. I love lashes. <\/em><\/p>\n

In the front garden there was lavender growing tall and the sun was just behind, I placed Maryke in front creating a wispy, ethereal mood. I was kneeling deep in soft fertile soil, I could feel the denim fibres soak up the moisture, whilst trying hard not to care. The lavender rose-up to meet Maryke\u2019s flowing kimono, as she swirled and danced. This is what dreams are made of. <\/em><\/p>\n

I went scouting for a romantic spot for the next shot. The light had changed so the initial plan needed adjusting. I discovered a gorgeous tree filled with soft pink blooms, \u201cthat\u2019s it,\u201d I grinned. The tree was heavy with flowers which hung in every direction, the models leant against the tree framed by the pink blooms. I had the grass waving in the foreground as the sun softened behind clouds, creating the perfect mood. These partly this-and-that-days, usually produce the best light. <\/em><\/p>\n

The last spot was in the orchard that had just started to shoot its first leaves and spring blooms. I put Maryke between the branches, when Alexis suggested we add the blue scarf\u2026 for flowing effect \u2013 I must say I do love a genius on set. Carl, of course, tried to create a breeze for more flow and blew, and blew \u2013 at first I had no idea what the bellowing \u2018pfffffft\u2019 sound was all about \u2013 oh dear Carl, you can\u2019t pay for that kind of contribution. Maryke\u2019s wrist technique got a good flow and voila another beautiful shot. <\/em><\/p>\n

With a satiated heart, and in need of a shower we headed back home. <\/em><\/p>\n
