Photographer Lucie Evans talks about her favourite image:This was a collaboration between myself and three of my close friends. We'd wanted to do a photo-shoot together for years and the magic happened on the remains of a demolished chemical waste plant in October 2009.
The catalyst for the concept was artist Miss Pybis's Japanese-influenced illustations. Prop-maker Kevin Thornton made the prosthetic tumors and boils and applied the make up and Kirsty Conroy styled the shoot.
The theme is based on two Geisha's that have survived a nuclear explosion and are existing within the beauty of their traditional costume. The characters are our interpretation of the Geisha, but through our vision of a post apocalyptic world where cosmetic beauty is juxtaposed with grotesque facial deformities and a derelict radio active landscape.
