Rossella Vanon wanted to portray a woman in rough unison with the earth she walks on. To achieve this, Rossella decided to keep her lighting natural and straightforward, working with available light and Collapsible Reflectors only.
“I wanted the woman to look at ease and confident in the nature around her,” says Rossella. “I wanted her to look almost like a warrior, like someone who not only lives in the rough land, but also loves it to the degree that she is willing to fight to protect it. But at the same time, I wanted to keep the feel of the shoot feminine, elegant and ‘fashion’, so to speak.”
That was the image that Rosella had formed in her mind. All the later decisions regarding aspects such as location, styling and lighting were based on this idea.
