The freezing cold lake is lapping at my feet (I couldn't put my bare skin in the water for more than about 30 seconds before going numb), a fairly strong breeze blowing off the lake making me even colder. Setup, take a couple of dozen shots, then head back for a hot shower!
Taken in a forest near an iron-age settlement near Rödön.
I'd cycled about twenty miles before I found this location, headed into the woods and set about looking for "the spot". My clothes were already quite wet from being caught in the rain cycling up from Dvärsätt, and the rain would come and go during the half hour I was here trying to get these shots.
This was my first outdoor self-nude shoot, and bloody hell, was it fun!
The story behind the image: a friend of mine has recently "come out" as transitioning from male to female. This photograph is something of an alternative illustration of that; a highly technical image portraying the female aspect dominating the male.
