TITLE: The Alternative Light Project

These pictures form part of an ongoing project exploring nude photography whereby the model is lit with alternative light sources - torches and lighting easily found in hardware stores. Rather than establish how the lighting will be beforehand, the lights are often given to the model to hold and move themselves. Through a mix of direction and collaboration we establish little experiments and see where the results take the project. Many thanks to the following models: Tigerbelle, Lizzie Bayliss, Rachelle Summers, Mischkah and Lulu Lockhart
