Sultry Best Friend Shoots

The Thistle & Weeds Pictorial by Gemma Booth is Nostalgic and Romantic

Gemma Booth lenses a romantic scene for the pictorial series 'Thistle and Weeds.' The photos follow best friends through a relaxed weekend at a modest cottage. The chilly autumn setting is emphasized by highly textured images, overlaid with sun-setting backdrops. Booth's artistic direction is spontaneous, allowing an energetic youth to pulse through the series.

The two models are enraptured by childlike play. The two move from a tree fort, to dressing up to cuddling up in the crispy fallen leaves. The innocence evoked is heartfelt and authentic, drawing in the audience on a deeper level.

The sweet photographic series will have you reaching for the phone to call up your BFF for a movie date.
