"This was a concept that both of us were planning for a few months bouncing ideas, trying to figure out possible locations time and places. Finally our respective busy schedules came in sync and we took the time to row across the lake to a secluded area of the island. As Isi dug his own grave (so to speak) I was preparing the lights, doing a walk around trying to envision how I wanted the final images to look. After everything was ready a pain staking, bug biting, phobia causing burial of the model. He was buried to his nose so he can breathe, when he was ready we then covered him completely. The model slowly moved one hand then his knee the the rest of his limbs ... slowly as we tried the mimic the "Awaking statue" then we proceeded to do a few other things. This is personally one on my best collaborations with a model looking forward to more as I grow.
The shoot lasted about 35 minutes about 3 hours of prep."
