Red She Said / Beauty Editorial inspired by Marie Antoinette, flowers, and Nocturnal Animals

Some time last year I wanted to have a play with shooting some moody portraits with my burgundy seamless paper backdrop. I loved the striking combination of red hair against deep burgundy from scenes in 'the film ‘Nocturnal Animals’ , so I really wanted to recreated that in a shoot with a red haired model. I had also been really inspired by a beauty editorial by photographer Fabio Piemonte featuring a model with an edgy modern Botticelli type look posing with foliage.

I sourced a few leftover foliage / florals from Wiluna Studios before the shoot and Amy, Craig and I just had a play with different looks on the day. Fun times!
