Kristin Winters for 'Studio Fragments' - NSFW / 24 images (London, 2019)

Merry freaking Xmas and Happy Hanukkah!
It's been a while, a few months to be precise.
As I've mentioned before, I've sort of left London, or at least, gave it a break...for some time.
At the beginning of last month, I've taken a flight to Israel, where I decided to spend the whole winter.
There are several reasons why I've done that; I mainly wanted to spend more time with my parents and brother, who I see about twice a year (I'm from Israel originally but moved to London in 2008). I wanted to try and help my dad with his business (imports of sustainable landscape infrastructure products) so he could take on retirement more easily if he seeks that. I wanted a break from London, I felt like I'm running around my own tail and wanted some clarity. I also wanted to be in a warmer less wintery place (Israel's winter is a joke compared to England's). I'm not sure what I'll do when the winter is done, I feel like change is needed. I'm thinking like trying to find opportunities in Asia, Central / South America or Africa - go where I've NEVER been...you know. I also wanted to take this time to reflect on everything I do. Just take a step back and really be able to appreciate what I have and what I don't ...so I could continue forward in harmony.
It's taking me some time to find balance not doing anything along with helping my dad and acting on my own work. This whole period has been quite a load on my mind, and this is why this Patreon has been very quiet.
I wanted to thank you all of you who stuck around! I am intending on reviving this place with a lot of unpublished content. SO, without further ado, I am excited to share a shoot I did shortly before I left London. The subject is a very talented Actor and Theatre Creator called Kristin Winters. She's also a trained dancer, as you could see in the photos.
Kristin Winters is a Dancer, Actor and Theatre Director (founder of Bound By Theatre). You can find her on Instagram. It was taken on Oct 23, 2019, in my London studio.
I wish you all the best for your holiday period. I'm sending you a lot of warmth and love from stormy Israel. You're in my heart. Thank you so much! <3

PS I'm trying Patreon's new Image Gallery feature. Till today I uploaded each image separately so you could scroll down to view everything vertically, but they were all smaller. Now you can view them larger and use arrow keys or buttons to navigate. Let me know what you think.
