This editorial was shot over one day at a studio in Vancouver, B.C. The set for this photoshoot was designed to be a fresh take on a summer editorial. The set consisted of two moveable backdrops which were backlit. On them is a mirrored beach location from Seychelles. Depending on the photo, one of the backdrops was paired with a third, sky coloured installation suggesting a partial cube shape. The floor consists of a shiny black material which reflects the backdrops. The wrinkled effect of this material creates ‘virtual waves’ moving out across the floor.
