For this inspirational shoot I started with the beautiful lines of a poem by Liberty Smith. I wanted to convey the poem’s equal parts of strength and softness through the choice of location and use of delicate materials and elements. I saw the lines of the poem literally being part of the images and Calligrapher Sally Balt of LA Happy realised this dream by meticulously inking the words directly onto the prints which were later rescanned by Richard Photo Lab. The poem and location are both so treasured in my heart and I aimed to convey some of the power of the place and the emotion I feel when I go there.”
