This was a series I created titled "Why the Long Face?" for the Canon Photo5 competition. And though, as I expected, none of the images were selected as finalists, it was a fun series to do, and that is more important to me than any prizes :D
The image above is the one shown in Edward Steed's memory bubble in the final image, of happier times before the death of Felicity Mare from equine influenza.
Models: Karen and Greg
Photography, styling, concept and editing: Bronwen Hyde
Locations: Royal Botanical Gardens, Melbourne; Mitre Tavern, Melbourne; my old home and my new home.
Inspired by: the work of Elle Moss and the horse mask found at Fat Helen's.
a letter to her lover far away
news from home
not long for this earth
death came too quickly
now she is gone he sits alone
