Burnt Forest, featuring Christy St. John, was photographed in the aftermath of the Lake Hughes forest fire… Lake Hughes is an unincorporated community in the Sierra Pelona Mountains about an hour northwest of Los Angeles.

The fire burned 31,089 acres, damaged 3 structures, destroyed 12 structures and 21 outbuildings, and injured 4 firefighters. There was even a story of an escaped bull who charged firefighters while they dowsed a ranch house. Both the house and bull were saved…

Christy, an established talent in Los Angeles, desired to play the roll of a Fairy, while I was captured by the winter mystique of this barren landscape…

Together we devised a story of a Fairy whose forest burned down and she lost her mate… She solemnly wanders the forest endlessly looking for him, of which she and he may or may not be reunited again…

Christy got the opportunity to exercise her dramatic side since a-lot of her roles are comedic or “sexy…” I got the opportunity to infuse this already attractive landscape with an organic subject, and a simple yet dynamic story.
