Where Love Transcends Words: Deep Elegance Styled Shoot on Amelia Island

Location: Amelia Island, Florida
Date of Shoot: April 19th, 2023

Featured in Issue 30, this elegant editorial on Amelia Island was brought to life by a team of talented vendors without the act of verbal communication.

Creating an entire shoot sans speaking might seem like an impossible task; however, just as love transcends words, movement inspires connection.

Photographer Jenny Wagner shares her insight on the incredible experience:

“This editorial, entitled “Deep Elegance,” was beautifully imagined by workshop host Ashton Jean-Pierre and co-designers Joy Proctor and Jet Set Wed, among a whole team of talented creatives.

By way of this styled shoot, Ashton, being a profoundly deaf photographer, empowered our team to learn the power of movement and creative direction without verbal speech. Incorporating silent movement as a means of connecting with the models created an environment of serenity, which tied in beautifully with the calm setting and elegant details.

The shoot, inspired by African royalty, incorporated rich hues as well as romantic and feminine details. Set in a sandy island forest, the vignettes were framed by the natural beauty of Spanish moss, softening the light and adding elegant tranquility.”
