eden

I had this idea floating around in my head for about two weeks or more.

All the flowers and plants are real and were purchased just before the shoot. As it is winter here our garden did not exactly resemble Eden.

I have cyclamens, begonia's, kalanchoe's, daisy's and all sorts of other floral delights. Lara-Lyn was asked to lie on some yoga blocks and covered with earth.The flowers and plants were then planted around and over her body.

I don't think you can tell from her expression that she was getting cold, she is such a professional to work with.

 

I am captivated by the mother earth/Gaia/ connection to nature idea and wanted to realise a portrait that embodies this for me.

 

Today Nic is planting our garden.
