Irina Lozovaya in the hard light of southern France. (Patreon)

The pool by our chateau was too cold to swim in, but the tiles around it were scorching hot. So we had to tip toe around the space until we found a nice mix of shade and sun.I loved the diagonal line created by the little kitchen roof and asked Irina to keep her glasses on (She was happy to oblige as the sun was very bright).These trips are a lot of fun, I travel with my friend Dave and we book a nice place to stay and invite models to come and stay. There's no pressure, no time table, just a lot of space to wonder about and create in. This was my first time meeting Irina, I'd asked her to come and join us. She and I have since traveled to the Canaries, see my IG for some of those shots.
