Sam Li photographed Kate Bosworth look-alike Farah Holt in this exclusive forest editorial for C-Heads.
Li has a remarkable knack for drawing out his subject, no matter where they are or what they're doing. If you're looking at a Sam Li editorial, you know that it's guaranteed to be expressive and thoughtful; alive with emotion, impulse and passion. Holt's editorial is no exception; the fair-haired, pixie-like model stares at the camera with a measured intensity, almost as if imploring the viewer to ask her what she's thinking about.
Stylist Kelsey Warman dressed Holt in shredded denim and dresses, lending an unkempt feel to the editorial. Holt's unbrushed tresses and makeup-free face complete the fresh, simplistic look.
