Tara King strides into "A Splash Of Pink" with the kind of sun-kissed confidence that makes an outdoor shoot feel entirely effortless. Her long light brown waves spill down her back as she turns from the camera in the opening frames, the vivid hot pink of her shorts a deliberate, dazzling statement against the green and gold of the garden around her. The black strappy top and brilliant fuchsia bottom give her a bold, athletic energy, and she moves through the dappled light of the trees with a quiet authority that holds every frame.
As the set progresses through the garden, the pink shorts and top come off, and Tara moves through the final images with an easy, unhurried grace. By the closing shot she is seated barefoot on the cobblestones in nothing but her white heels and anklet, one long leg stretched out to the side, glancing back at the lens with a knowing half-smile. "A Splash Of Pink" delivers on its title in every sense: vivid, striking and absolutely impossible to look away from.
