Ameena Payne (NSFW)

I met Ameena (Skin+Pepper agency) through a networking group on Facebook and we clicked immediately. Several days later she was in front of my lens in St Kilda doing her thing. Even though we only had about hour for a shoot, we still managed to do heaps of different shots. 

For this shoot I decided to go 100% natural light, which has recenlty become my preference. I suppose, I just needed to have a break from the studio lighting. 

I loved Ameena’s look from the start: delicate and strong at the same time, versatile and exotic. I wanted to shoot something extremely simple and natural with her and in my head I was going for a melancholic and dreamy mood..

Hope you enjoy the images :)
