I hit all of my favorite locations from Pickney Island to Old Sheldon Church but there were a few special areas I wanted to focus on during this excursion. The area surrounding Old Sheldon is really quite remarkable and on the drive to the Church you might notice a a cluster of bleached trees alongside the road. I’ve been thinking of working with these trees since I first visited Old Sheldon Church and this time I simply couldn’t pass up the opportunity.

As if that sort of location wasn’t enough, down the road just a little bit before the trees, I spotted what looked to be an old abandoned house. With my fiance’s worried voice ringing in my ear, we quickly descended upon the house and I shot some very quick but spectacular shots before bolting for the road once more.

The last big event on the trip was actually to catch a sunrise over Hilton Head and it was as you might imagine quite the spectacular sight.

If you’re interested, I actually have a few prints available from this trip in my Fine Art Section Fine Art Prints by Dim Horizon Studio

Jordan was the other model I was quite lucky to be able to work with along side Cammy. They were both close friends and I have to say they were quite the dynamic duo. I’ve tried over the course of this year to focus on models with extensive tattoos and the stories behind them.

While Jordan’s tattoo was quite extensive, the story was interesting in itself by it’s simplicity. Basically, it was just a collection of images that she liked.

She modeled a number of outfits during our shoots that day and I have to say the shots included below were easily my favorite. The first location, even with being eaten alive by bugs, provided a great deal of options and I’d highly suggest stopping at that park again to anyone familiar with the area interested.

Not only do you get to network with some talented people but you also get a local individuals insight into potential locations for shooting. I must say, I was quite lucky on this trip to Hilton Head SC and actually organized shoots with three lovely models.

Tammy was part of the first of a pair I ended up shooting with one day. We basically met at the first location, a nature reserve located just off the highway as you drive into Hilton Head, then were promptly eaten alive by sand gnats. We decided then to made our way to a second location to shoot. It really was a glorious way to spend an afternoon although the bugs from the first location left me itching and uncomfortable for a good week afterward.

Enjoy the shots below!
