Making the background of the shipwreck for the outdoor Portrait Session

For a long time, we had some ideas with Monika on how to do our next outdoor portrait shoot around the Irish Trader shipwreck. This is just one of them.

Located on a picturesque and soothing beach, the slowly disintegrating wreck has become a kind of local landmark, adding mystery and nostalgia to the area. And is kind of inspirational for us.

Have to say that for a model, it was an especially challenging session with very soft sand, which did not make “dancing” easier, and cold wind with strong gusts (I was afraid that our little beloved and patient “lights-ballast” would be blown away to the UK )
