Eirenne in the Mountains (Patreon)

My friend's inn where I took Eirenne to shoot when she visited in October, is up a small mountain village not too far from where my wife grew up (in fact its in the same city actually) here in Yamanashi. The first time I visited their property was in 2006, a decade before they renovated it and 13 years before they opened it as an inn. Ever since then I had wantec to d oa shoot there so it was great to finally make it happen with my friend Eirenne, not only inside the house itself, but in the other old buildings and out in their garden and on the hillside beyond the house itself.

I have shot with Eirenne outdoors a lot of the years, so you'd imagine she was very comfortable being out in nature or wandering around naked in the countryside. On the contrary she is deathly afraid of animal and bugs and things poking her (like twigs or rocks), so while she likes the idea of being outdoors, she only looks comfortable in her photos through sheer will and modeling/acting skill! When i was getting ready to post this set i was reminded of this because I had a few outtakes of her noticing a bug flying around near her... :D

 ...and again a few minutes later...

 I find the contrast between the cool, alluring version of herself she projects in her modeling, and the vulnerable, adorable reality of her personality to be so charming!

Anyhow, this full set of 27 hi-res images is available now in the Archive folder for $25 patrons...
