Behind the Scenes
A crucial element of Glamourie was to take our work back into the landscape that inspired it. Weather and terrain are always a risky issue but the rewards are immense if fortune smiles upon you. The venture involved finding intrepid models and crew, capable of climbing up mountains, down cliffs and across bogs. We planned three photoshoots, each to take place in the summers of 2015, 2016 and 2017 respectively. On the last of these shoots photographer Rachel Keenan came along with us and documented the process that goes on behind the scenes. Here are some of the images she took along the way. Visit our CAST & CREW page to read more about the team involved in the photoshoots.
