Mother Country

This is an image taken from a photo shoot for Maria Breaux’s latest film called Mother Country due out next year.  The premise of the movie is a man who undergoes a personal transformation while walking from Austin to Los Angeles…a journey motivated by a peer pressured drive by and a wrongful death.   This image was meant to convey a sense of arrival, change and transformation as well as the vast open horizon of potential of new possibilities.

Her current film that is out is called Lucha. The film is set in 1982 against the backdrop of the insurgency in El Salvador, Lucha traces the plight of two women in love whose only respite from the battles raging against their oppressive government is the solace found in each other’s arms.

I used the Nikon D700 and my trusty 85mm F1.4 ais Nikon lens for this capture.
