The irrepressible Joey Darke joined me for the holiday week in a rustic setting. An unexpected snow storm descended as she arrived so we spent the next three days simply exploring the space and seeing how many places we could get her upside down!
More and more these days I begin to see model photography as some kind of documentary of the tribe of traveling models. Their migration around the world intersects their photographers and the resulting creative output is shaped by the journeys and experiences of both. Our job as photographers is to create a setting that perhaps reinforces or undermines their mood or role. Each model is a restless creative force, needing only a little suggestion or a particular box to work within. Joey is no exception and I've seen her modeling change over the past few years, our semi-annual meetups always standing out as new and unique experiences.
