A witch ought never be frightened in the darkest forest because she should be sure in her soul that the most terrifying thing in the forest was her - Wintersmith .

• I’ve been going back and forth on this piece… which isn’t like me as I’m usually quite decisive. • I got this vision in my head while listening to the Concerto by Ben Folds I’ve been talking about alllll week… and I will continue to say how amazing it is because it just is. Go listen. It’s 3 movements and ignites all of the right creative vision & inspiration. Thanks, @murkanpianist ✨ • Anyway, I knew this piece would be an overhead drone shot (more on capturing it below) and I knew that she would have a bare back with her legs and arms sticking out but I kept having a difficult time with the why. WHY was she there? I mean, I guess she could have just be lying face down in a field like that, but I needed the final little bit to make it all click.

So, here you see my first idea and original creation, which I nixed 5 times or so and annoyed the shit out of @jessesalterphotography and @alealovely (love you both) for insight, but ultimately decided to stick with the original vision & my gut.
I shot this on a private farm with my drone… Can you tell I’m tapping the phone with MY NOSE to take the photo? … I knew I could have shot right arm out / left arm out and put them together in PS, but eh, too much work when my nose worked just fine, though awkward. This shot gave me an itchy rash… and when I saw a passerby in a truck I prayed they wouldn't stop and come over to ask who I was while I was lying there, they waited until later - thank God.
Swipe right for the version that I almost chose & the before… which is your favorite and which evoked feeling to you prefer? .

I once read the book ‘Women of the Asylum’ in college and my professor’s name was Muffy... I always loved her class, despite our quite differing life-views, at that time. She challenged me to read literature and explore conversations that made me uncomfortable... I was uncomfortable because those books and themes spoke to me - like deep down in my soul I felt the truth in all of it. Anyway, Muffy... I get it now. .

Looking back it all makes sense... I finally understand the little peculiar oddities that inspired me. I have been drawn to the mystical and magical for as long as I can remember and now realize that every piece of captivating inspiration was a seed planted to create as I am today... 🎵 inspo in stories #createyourtruth ✨✨✨ .

Long post ahead ☟ ‘Lighthouses are endlessly suggestive signifiers of both human isolation and our ultimate connectedness to each other.’ - Virgina Woolf
I am particularly proud of this image... As I work out the kinks and further find myself in this new creative expression I find that I am drawn to emotive, moody, painterly images that highlight beauty, movement and even the melancholy.
Every single aspect of this image was created by me... spanning over almost 4 years with the lighthouse being the first image taken on an incredible trip to the #balearicislands. Then there is the moon from our recent lunar eclipse and Isla and I both taken separately for different projects.
Somehow it all came together for this piece and I hope it makes you feel something as it does me. The quote perfectly fits this image and the emotion I hope to portray.
