hello people, does anyone remember that cheesy radio program that used to come on in the middle of the night with that guy with the really deep voice who would play love songs at 2 am and always talk about the 'lovers and other straaaangers' that were out there in the night? I don't know if it was just a Canadian thing but I'm not going to lie, I listened to it a few times.
Anyway, the reason for the title is not a throw back to a 90's radio romance. It is to illuminate another shoot that I just finished. This time I worked with two models, A beautiful young lady called Jessica Perkins and a strapping gentleman named Patrick Walsh. I wanted to explore relationships and intimate moments, but still with the backdrop of the ocean. The shoot (hopefully) illuminates the safety and security you can feel with someone near the water but also the uncertainty of where any relationship may lead. I'm working on a story to go along with it that I think may just be all dialogue between a couple. maybe a Hemingway-esque Hills Like White Elephants tribute. But we shall see. Jessica and Patrick were both amazing and with only knowing each other 5 minutes were able to pretend they had shared an intimate night together as lovers. It was really remarkable as couple shoots can be hard to do because you need to make sure the chemistry is there. Thank you to both of them for doing an amazing job!
Other than that I have just learned the exhibition opening will take place on the 30th of July at the Artist Residence in Brighton. Anyone who is in the area or fancies a seaside trip please do come! This means there is less than a month to bring everything together. I have been focusing on writing more this week and am hoping to have a few pieces finished by the end of the week. I also have three more shoots to get in before the end of the month. So now it's time to crack down and churn out some art. I will be sure to let you know how all of this goes!
As Always,
Thanks for listening,
Stephanie
