Mountain of despair with Nicole

I shot this in a cave in Death Valley in ’19, and while archiving a lot of stuff recently, I revisited the series and edited it.

There is something almost poetic about this hyper-focus on the delicate model and the softer yet coarse background that is out of focus.
And the double "S" composition (model and background).

It’s one of those images that I look at and try to find a meaning, but with very few clues available.
And yet I look.

That is always a good sign.

Let me know your thoughts if you have any.

Yep, the juxtaposition makes the brain spin a storyline and tou get emphathy for the model.

For me these kinds of shots scream about the smooth delicate body resting on those sharp threatening rocks. Movement can only be painful, scraping and marring the skin ... Vulnerability in a rough world.
