Viking

“My name is not my own, it is borrowed from my ancestors. I must return it unstained.                                                                                              My honour is not my own, it is on loan from my descendants. I must give it to them unbroken.                                                                                  Our blood is not our own, it is a gift to generations yet unborn. We should carry it with responsibility” – Vincent Elund

Fascinated by different periods in history I loved the opportunity to create this Viking style shoot from scratch. Being given total freedom to create is an exciting prospect for any artist and I really revelled in it, from creating this outfit, down to styling hair and makeup on Nigel.
