A few years ago I flew out to the heart of middle America to meet up with Kara to shoot. She's the typical mid-western, American, trucker, girl. Before flying out there, I knew I wanted to keep it as authentic as possible. I had this American Woman theme in mind.
When I got there, she showed me around, pointed me to a barn behind her house, a few guns, etc. After seeing this, I realized we didn't need to leave her property to accomplish the theme and being that it was all hers, it was as authentic as it could get.
Fast forward to today, looking back at this photo and everything going on in America, every time I cross this photo I think about how this is starting to resemble America more than ever since I've been alive. When I first took this photo, it was looked upon as sexy, a pretty girl, holding a gun. However, in 2017, it has a completely different meaning, most of which seem uncomfortable compared to before.
Here are some more fun shots we captured over the few days I spent out there. These photos were just taken for fun, just like most of the stuff I shoot.
awesome
amazingly artistic photos - I followed you
Anonymous Masks are great touch!
I need to start taking pictures of my female friends ^^
"Double barrells" on both the beautiful lady and shotgun. Beauty and danger together. Different times we live in. Not so apple pie and straightforward. Hidden meanings and traps. Not your wholesome, home of the brave, America. The ideal just does not match up to the current reality.
I've been a huge fan of your work for a long time - I'm really glad you are on this platform! Thank you for sharing... as always - your work is kickass!
