Young model Abbie Heath makes her Touchpuppet debut in a spiritual-themed photoshoot, appropriately titled 'Power of Faith.' Shot exclusively for the online fashion magazine by Katriena Emmanuel, the photoset combines earthy elements and religious icons for a shocking, yet effective result.
Using wooden logs, thorns, leaves and other natural materials, photographer Emmanuel recreates popular imagery of religious figures, including Jesus and the Buddha. With hair and makeup by Carolina Rojas, Abbie is transformed into an ethereal beauty. While some may find the portraits controversial, the story seems to be aimed towards the positive representation of peace and nature within religion, rather than opposition.
The creative incorporation of natural elements with contemporary styling in this shoot makes the Katriena Emmanuel Power of Faith photoset an absolute must-see. I'd love to see more from this incredible collaboration of talents in the near future.
