Sometimes a model helps define the scene. Other times the scene helps define the model. In the case of The Forge, the scene and the model compliment each other perfectly. There's a certain grittiness that Ulia takes on...even in light of her extreme natural beauty. Part of that is due to lighting; part is due to an incredible location; and part is due to Ulia herself. The Forge is the companion series to The Foundry, its moody, colorful counterpart. We hope you enjoy them both. Certain scenes are made for black and white imagery. This shoot wouldn't be complete without such a tribute. Enjoy!
