The model, Eden Rose approached me to be her photographer. She wanted to expand her portfolio into more artistic directions beyond fashion photography. Given my background in cosplay modelling and photography, this was no challenge at all. I guided Eden away from the very purposeful poses and gazes seen in fashion photography, though we did a bit of that too. Instead we needed to construct a character and watch as she interacted with her environment, naturally.
The beautiful Harold Boas gardens helped bring the inspiration, I started thinking of fairy queens and mermaids. I was photographing a forest spirit who was coming in contact with man’s world.
