We asked @stephenbutkus what does an ideal day look like for you in the Mentawaii's?
He said: get up 5.30 - meditate. Surf. Shoot. Eat and drink wine.
And what do you learn each time you visit?
To be more still. Take time to enjoy the calm energy.
Daria your muse here is absolutely stunning. The mood between Daria, you and the camera is magical. Can you describe how important the connection is to create extra special images the evoke a strong feeling or mood?
Thank you.. Its so much of why Daria is a good model. Letting her self be free.
That is a part of why I love shooting so much. I have really studied my way though human interaction and also the way we communicate. I absolutely love it.
Id say im more in love with that part rather than the actual shooting sequence.
