Model Josh Beech sizzles in 'All the King's Gold,' an editorial for FutureClaw Magazine. The shoot was styled by Jem Goulding and shot by RJ Shaughnessy and features a sometimes-shirtless Josh Beech in the desert of Cairo, Egypt.

We've seen a number of editorials and photo shoots that use a [desert location](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clover-studio) to associate clothing and models with the famed heat of the desert. Check out some of my favorite [desert shoots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rudsak-ss25-collection) below.

**Implications** - Businesses that choose to promote their products by using unusual geographical or human characteristics will benefit in many ways. Consumers will recognize such products as capable of offering them something new and fresh and of which they couldn't experience on their own.
