This beautiful photography series, 'Wildfire' by Derren Versoza, features the exotic Emily Valdez under the sunset.

The model wears a variety of outfits and the light, faded-out tone of the images give off a warm feeling. As if taking a long walk alone, Valdez seems calm and at peace in the photographs.

Stylist Dee Do uses a variety of materials to complement the mood of the editorial. Valdez wears a light knit dress with the sides cut out, [floral dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/park-fifth) and a long, mint-colored satin dress. These items welcome the coming night and the bright, warm light given off by the sunset add a soothing tone.

This editorial is great especially for the mood it evokes. When you look at Valdez, barefoot and at peace in her surroundings, it is reminiscent of [warm summer nights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunset-spark-card-deck) and walks on the beach.
