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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-october-collection), lending an unkempt feel to the editorial. Holt's unbrushed tresses and [makeup-free face](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-latest-summer-edit) complete the fresh, simplistic look.
