...wow is that a lot of people involved or what? This shoot was literally epic, both in theme and production scale. It's been in the process of coming to fruition for 6 months. I am so happy with how it all turned out. This is the main image, but I'm sure I'll post others that feature each character/model

Some fun facts about the shoot:

-I had the models walking/running in circles on top of a windy ridge to get movement shots. Whoever wasn't currently modeling was huddled under blankets 20 feet away. They're all such troopers :3
-Originally we were only intending to have sky behind the models in this panorama. And then I decided it would look better with a motherfucking tree. TWO motherfucking trees. Fuck yea trees.
-RaggedEdge thought I was supplying a hunting horn, and I thought *she* was bringing one, so we ended up without a real horn for Lauren to pose with....she's actually holding a cardboard tube


If you go here you can see a version that shows detail shots of each character: [link]
