Arena UK - Next Stop Rio

Cougars, Convertibles and Bikini’s – what a combination! However, instead of heading down the atypical smutty men’s magazine route, this shoot by Arena Magazine goes to a far more nostalgic place circa Boogie Nights. The location and lighting steers this shoot away from paying homage to Jessica Simpsons filmclip for “These boots are made for walking” carwashing scene (don’t deny it - you know the one I’m talking about) and into Californian bungalows reminiscent of the late 70’s.

Mixing modern day swimwear styles with gladiator heels, the shoots styling is glamorous, aspirational and voyeuristic. The female body is posed as a sensual, feline weapon giving the sense that the woman is completely aware of her potent power
