Our editorial features unretouched images shot by Austin Huck. After a year of highly produced commercial projects the photographer was longing for something to revitalise his creativity, but was struggling to find a concept that he could connect with. Austin asked two of his favorite models to do a simple window light portrait at the studio for fun. Using just natural light they simply explored posing and expression. ''It was freeing to not have any expectations or creative brief to stick to, and just create. Having no concept actually allowed us to play and collaborate more freely, and we were all really excited about the outcome.''

Our cover image was shot by Cheryl Clegg. The series focusses on the changes at the iconic Maine Harbor. At one time the lobster fisherman walked out of their doors right to the harbor, allowing them to work on their boats and gear with ease. Today more and more families that have lived and worked out of the harbor for generations are not able to afford the property on the water.
