Drifting Away by Remi Rebillard, a photographer based in France, is a photo series that follows a damsel in distress. Yet instead of needing to be saved from a bunch of scoundrels, it appears that she is on more of a self-destructive path. Whether looking sightlessly off camera with a sullen expression or laying down in a suicidal position on railroad tracks, there is no denying that something is wrong with her.
Yet it is hard not to appreciate her untarnished beauty and the romantic scenery in the backdrop of Drifting Away by Remi Rebillard. Poignantly stylized, the images will have people thinking of the Wild West. It stars model Alea Wiles. Mark Williamson was on beauty duty.
