For Dirty Sexy Things' sixth photoshoot, three of the models got in touch with their inner animal. Blogger Clara explains how the shoot got off the ground:

Despite being set in the forest, this week’s shoot was relatively snag free. The models trudged through the woods prowling and eating like animals, but somehow stayed surprisingly civilised when it came to working alongside one another. The crew all had their hands full traipsing models, huge HMI lighting, smoke-machines, Peli-cases and Zuca bags far out to the forest to create Perou’s fantastical Wilderland. There was a hairy moment, (not related to the models bouffants), when the generator seemed unable to power Perou’s mega-watt lighting, but the issue was quickly resolved and it was all happy camping from then on.

I rather liked Jesse’s faun-like frolicking, but perhaps he had exerted himself a little too much during his wilderness training as Perou found him to be a little stiff. It’s a shame as I’m sure if he had asked politely there might have been any number of forest helpers kicking about who would have been willing to help limber him up...

Jay and Perou finally managed to find some common ground (Jay finally stayed on set so perhaps it was just that they finally occupied the same ground at the same time) and Jay climbed and frolicked and gambolled back into Perou’s good books. His efforts fell just short as Ocean effortlessly glided into exhibition space with a shot that captured both the magic and mystery of the woody wonderland.

Dempsey brought us all back to reality by answering the age old question of whether or not bears (and dogs) 'do their business' in the woods: if anyone’s in doubt I brought back some evidence on the bottom of my shoe…
