Milk in the Light is a subset of my Radical Play series. Model Katrin Dohse and I shot at
an abandoned warehouse with dirt floors and dirty, broken skylights. Katrin expertly
flung milk from glasses as I shot with a fast shutter speed. Relying on the magic of
intention, openness and serendipity we created a substantial series, of which these five
are an excerpt.
