I went into this session with high hopes but very low expectations. I knew the fire would consume the grass quickly, leaving scant time to compose and shoot. Lighting, poses, smoke density and wind drift, personal safety, not to mention core creativity, all had to come together in a matter of minutes. No pressure here; the ultimate spontaneity.
I was hoping for a sort of deranged Drew Barrymore look from the film Firestarter. What I did not expect was a series of images where Jill appears calm, serene, and utterly indifferent to the inferno rising behind her. Here she seems to float on wings of fire in striking contact to the white dress. It's like a clash of elements. The subtext is one of female empowerment and self assurance. A wonderful dichotomy of drama and beauty.
