We love shoots that push conceptual boundaries, take place against complex backdrops, tell stories and require all hands on deck to make them a reality. But at the other end of the spectrum are shoots that forgo the cast of thousands, make do without the studio lighting, and offer up a naturally beautiful result. This shoot is one of those stripped-back moments, involving only a photographer, her camera, and the model.
Kelly Defina shot Natascha Verkaik in all natural light in locations local to her home. All clothes belong to the model – moments at ease in her everyday second skin.
