Matthew Wardenaar creates ravishing photographs in Joshua Tree for 'Harper's Bazaar Arabia' where poses, colors and location all come into play. Wardenaar also attaches a fashion film so that the audience can see the beauty in the movement of the shoot.
There is a muted saturation of color within the photos, but single colors do stand out-such as neon green or a bold blue. The plants and the desert environment also make the fashion garments pop.
Every pose within the shoot is unique as the model works it in the outback. When looking at the photos, you can sense the strength and intensity in the model's expressions. The red lips also pop and give the shoot a sultry appeal. Matthew Wardenaar shows how he can adapt to any environment and make fashion stand out -- even in the middle of nowhere.
