This summer we worked on a really exciting project with Amberly Valentine creating a washed up bedroom set for her photography project for new book out in December. Amberly’s work is really beautiful, she works mainly with large format polaroids which give the pictures a really old dreamy filmic quality. The final set was build on a beach on the Lizard Pennisular in Cornwall over night in the dark, so she could take the picture with the dawn light. The whole project was amazing, cant wait to do more, like this.
