A story full of sea

Having spent this morning unpacking from yesterday's trip and re-packing for tomorrow's, and while listening to Eska's debut album (she fits somewhere between Joni Mitchell and Laura Mvula, I think; though those elements are disparate and she very much does her own, unique thing!), I thought I'd show some photos I've just received. In April, I was able to fit in a shoot with Perry (Imagesse), who I've worked with many, many times now, while in Cornwall primarily for another shoot for The Wool Company. We always end up in some very beautiful places (often beaches!) and I love his storytelling imagination which whirs while I pose. In fact, these images were delivered to my inbox yesterday with a long story written to accompany them! In between the images below, there are some snippets of his words and phrases...

'...When I was walking a quiet section of the coast path on the rugged wreckers coast...Somehow I had stumbled on a secret cove...'


'I made my way down a set of steep steps ...I found myself absolutely alone in that pure new world...'


'...The rhythmic mantra of the ocean...'


'...I made my way, to the glowing brightness which led me out of the cave...'


'...I discerned something else...' 


'...something smooth and curvaceous...' 


'...moving through the cove...'


'...My mind started to work overtime...' 


'...if she had not come from the land...' 


'...she must have come from the sea...'


'...she remained in my vision...'


'...then she turned and walked purposely towards the sea...'
