From The Sea

Title:From the Sea
Artist: Jessica Tremp
Model: Jo O’Brien

THE MERMAID

A mermaid found a swimming lad,
Picked him for her own,
Pressed her body to his body,
Laughed; and plunging down
Forgot in cruel happiness
That even lovers drown.

William Butler Yeats

a few of my favourite things come together…mystery, the sea, earthy colours and textures and an overall sense of whimsicality and melancholy

    Great shot, I must say it is also admirable that you manage your model into posing for these sorts of uncomfortable shots. I must say she can’t have been comfortable draped in smelly kelp with a butt full of sand but she looks relaxed and seductive;-) Well done.
