The Coldest Dayby `zemotion

Photography / People & Portraits / Emotive Portraits

_{One of the most disastrous shoots I'd ever had. But most memorable and happy one as well.

Weather didn't favour us, our walk to the location was an hour instead of a 10min as my assistant who recced the place told us.

It was so cold for the first time I feared that I was gonna end up killing one of my models from a photoshoot. Like, seriously. (I'd asked her to go into the waters, wet and submerge herself at some point of time. And the water was freezing enough my bones were in pain just placing my feet in for a minute. I really thought we would die. Yet I was still asking her of it, I don't know what I was thinking, I reflected a lot upon it later on about how far we could really push another for a shoot...)

Abby shivered nonstop for some 3 hours after we got back into Kyoto. T_T

And then we had a parfait night lol.

I learnt defeat. Of things not being able to carry out according to plan no matter how meticulous I'd prepared.

It was painful, but we had so so much fun and laughter together. And Abby despite the cold still fought on to make the pictures for me, I realized how blessed and loved I was, truly.

I can't say it's the most epic of photos, but all the memories that come along with this, I treasure so very dearly. Thank you Abby, Chris, Rick. You're some of my best assistants. <3

I still love this picture.
Of all your great works, this is my favorite.
Is there any books of it or way you'd allow people to purchase a copy/print?

The desaturation of color in the model coupled with the simplicity of the background create a beautiful pallet for a wonderfully interesting photograph. The model's facial expression (one of sadness and contemplation) matches the wind-blown hair (that emote similar emotions). Therefore, both on a conceptual and compositional level, this is a beautiful photograph.
Despite the conditions (which sounded very interesting and difficult!), this is a wonderful photograph. Very well done.
