A girl that started her life in Fiji and then Australia with a gypsy mum, Montana arrived at my studio for a simple model test with her girlish swagger, cowgirl boots and a smile. If you ever meet her you’ll know what I mean about the smile. She left me feeling privileged, with this very raw and beautiful set of images. This may sound kind of woo-woo, but I get the sense that she really is a very old soul, that crosses paths with those that ask for a bit of help from the Angels from time to time.
