Avril Guerrerro - Sunshine & the rain


"The Sunshine" -Avril Guerrero photographed by Colin Angus.

Avril Guerrero was photographed by photographer Colin Angus.

The shoot had no specific agenda other than to bring light and happiness to make a positive statement against our current economic climate.

I believe the goal was achieved in the first three images. I also liked that they also shot in a moody/sultry/subtle sexy way. This contrast is just I said - Ms. Avril brings the sunshine and the rain..

I love the raw, almost too intense look in J.C.'s eyes. They convey as sense of loss - beauty that can be found in loss - Key reference points - The Ice Storm / Larry Clarke's Tulsa /Pixote (1991).
