Freya at the Farm Photoshoot

Freya and I snuck in a couple of hours shooting at an abandoned farm. The place is all about the spaces and the textures - so the backgrounds are always working as a foil to Freya.

This image is an interesting case of creating balance by different tonalities in an overall un-balanced composition. Freya's posing here is spot on - just lifting her bum off the wall to make sure it is not all squashed to a pear shape.

Strong, dramatic posing against some lovely wonky brick work.

Here you can get a sense of how abandoned the place is. Mind you - I've got weeds like that in my garden :)

Here I wanted to use the natural light to skim across Freya creating a near silhouette.

A quick improvised floating shot. I had no tripod so this was done hand-held. These types of shots really need an assistant as well to pull them off properly.

The light coming in from the side through a narrow gap creates really strong patterns in the brick work and I figured a distinctive pose was required to go with the brick work.

Using the natural lines to create lead-ins to Freya.
