I’M taking a huge leap of faith.
Just like this picture, this model also appears to be taking leap of faith.
The shot of model and Australian ballet dancer, Lucinda Dunn, was one of a series of shots taken by photographer Hallie Burton and styled by yours truly for a national women’s weekly magazine. It is one of my personal favourites and has been my computer screensaver for years. So I thought it was time to share.
In order to achieve the shpt, we placed a small trampoline on the roof of a six-storey building in suburban Sydney. The photographer placed her camera on the ground and angled up to avoid the neighbouring roof tops. The effect gives the impression that the model is floating or falling through the air.
Taken shortly after 9/11, in late 2001, it was never published due to it being “too insensitive” at the time. However, in my humble opinion, the shot is timeless and otherworldly.
And just like the model, I too am taking a leap of faith. With this blog.
Every stylishly yours…
