The Blacklog Editorial No 44 shoot is a sweeping and dramatic declaration of love and friendship.
Shot by the water with the ocean's dramatic waves adding to the beauty of the series, the images are full of a lightness and natural chemistry between models Holly Rose and Annemijn that its hard not to get lost in them. Photographer David K Shields captures the models as they enjoy their time on the secluded shore with their arms lovingly wrapped around each other. Rose wears bright red lipstick and styles her hair in a messy blunt bob with bangs to complement Annemijn's perfectly put together bun.
Making a reference to the classic film Casablanca, the Blacklog Editorial No 44 series is finished off with the lovely words "We'll always have Wattamolla."
