Haunted Ocean

This editorial breaks all the rules surrounding fashion shoots located near the ocean. It is bewildering and intriguing, rather like the remnants of a shipwreck on some strange shore. I really enjoy the muted tones throughout which are reflected in the styling of the model.

Love this. There's such an eerie mood to these shots. Above and beyond many fashion shoots!

Love the post-processing. The model looks like a mermaid, too.

Jade said...

Really interesting shots, I love the shot when she's climbing into the bag. Makes me think of mary poppins actually. The last one freaks me out though, eesh *shivers

Barbro Andersen said...

Wow, I didn't expect this stunning editorial to be from Marie Claire, it is gorgeous! Love the ocean...

Rosie Unknown said...

That is amazing! I thought it was in a cave at first.

Darrah said...

This really does break all the rules! I like it though. It reminds me of the ocean in Washington. We don't have the sunny beaches like Cali. They're more like rocky shores, and there are a lot of caves to explore!

Shin said...

The last picture is a little creepy but I really enjoyed the whole editorial! The colors and styling is perfect! xxoxoxo

P.S. Congratulations on the 2 year anniverary! Your blog is truly a treasure! xxooxxo

the last one is my favorite.

Mars said...

these are awesome! i especially love the last one, displaying the watch. it's so interesting! i totally prefer it displayed this way over a celebrity modeling it something!

Lacey Starr said...

girl-in-purse is my favorite, though all are striking.

SOMETHING PICASSO said...

A little eerie, scary... the colors are so good.

lydia said...

ooh, i love the last one...this is so memorable.

Electric Lady said...

mos def very original shoot.

Amelia said...

Wow. I'd really like to see what this beach looks like in normal lighting. I suppose it's not really as amazingly creepy as these pictures make it out to be. I love the style of these, particularly the last one.

The Stylist said...

These pictures are to die for, I want to be there doing just that.

Hippie Frou Frou said...

that first dress is a very cool shape, such a great shoot!

WendyB said...

Love that creepy last photo!

KD said...

I love it! Not cliched at all. :-)

Meg said...

I really like these shots, especially the second one where she looks like a shipwrecked survivor taking shelter in a cave. And the first photo is so eerie.

Stéphanie said...

Very nice pictures !
Thank you !

Diane said...

I like how this has a soothing yet disturbing feel to it, especially the very last photo.

Thanks for sharing! I'm always up for editorial ogling.

Diary of a Young Designer said...

Beautiful images, though they are quite eerie. Love the one with the girl holding her shoes in her hand while standing on a puddle.
