12 Months of Red and Light

A year in pictures.

12 Months of Red and Light
12 Months of Red and Light.
Just over a year ago, Chrissie and I met after several months of random passing of comments and mutual admiration of one another's work.
On our very shoestring budget most of what we have done wouldn't have been possible under the normal model/photographer process as we mostly just go out for a day, bounce ideas about and see what happens and what places we find, we have very similar tastes and goals and the spontaneity is sometimes instrumental to the results that we produce.
One of the most interesting things is that we have become quite an efficient working partnership, both knowing what the other needs and wants to do without in depth discussion, we just do our thing in our own way, it works well for us.

We have both been through good times and darker times in our personal lives and both been there for one another when it mattered, I think and I think Chrissie would agree, we make such good friends because we aren't judgemental and don't get involved in each others personal lives unless asked to do so.

None of this was planned, nether of us were looking for a friendship or collaboration, actually I had been cooking for a collaborator, but I had given up, I guess sometimes you find what you want when you are not looking for it, some things are just meant to be I guess, there is so much more I could say, we have watched one another evolve as model/photographer and as people, Chrissie is a wonderful and dear friend and If we could do it all again I wouldn't change a thing, so here's to the next year and beyond..

Thank you Chrissie fr being you and for being such a great friend.
