This is my first edited image of 2016, called Journey without Maps.
In this image I wanted to capture a Helmut Newton inspired view of women, their confidence, dominance and strength, and yet a sense of vulnerability.
I wanted to use up every part of the train and draw the eye from the first carriage to the end. I loved that you could look though every carriage, and that there were gaping holes in the ceiling, letting the sunlight in. There were also loads of holes and weak spots in the floor that were a bit worrying.
The girls were amazing, a nervous start, but once we were underway there was no stopping us.
Would you believe this train was left abandoned and burnt out in amongst some trees, on piece of land in San Pedro de Alcantara, Spain. I found it about a year previous and had been toying with what to do with it ever since.
