When British photographer Kate Friend recently traveled to Bali, there weren’t only lazy days and drinks with umbrellas that were on the agenda. The Creative Director of Mother Magazine was planning a shoot for Ben Trovato. The outcome is a mind blowing story exploring both the model’s world above and beneath the surface. “- Well the story was inspired by a black sand dreamscape, an inverted wilderness; the beach at the end of the world,” Kate says, and continues ”- I also wanted to explore the sensation of freedom in space. Shooting underwater was a great way to do this. Each image has its dream-equivalent; Widika’s above-water and below-water worlds. The shore stands at the edge of her subconscious; she walks the fine line between real and fantasy, between this world and the next.”
Perfect for the role in Kate’s story What Lies Beneath, Widika @ Ford NY was styled by French Vietnamese designer MaiKhanh Bertrand, and sat at the back of the stallion Daytona.
Kate’s first camera came on a keyring when she was about 6: “- It was tiny, it took only 8 photos on a miniature film. I took one photo a day, all in the snow. It was immediate aesthetic discipline, and at the same time a path to endless new opportunities.” Now the NYC and London based photographer is making a name for herself internationally, proving her immense talent with stories that take your breath away.
Here’s What Lies Beneath by Kate Friend, for Ben Trovato:

Hobby Reading a book (if that’s even a hobby), and I'm a movie freak ! I love movies !!!
Modeling After I graduated from high school in Bali, all I wanted to do is modeling, but I didn't want to be based and just model in Indonesia, I wanted to do fashion week and travel, do it properly ! So I googled models.com and checked out the list of women’s agencies in NYC, I came across Ford Models, and I thought, this could be it ! I sent them my snap shots (polaroids) and in a week’s time of sending more photos, and interviews, I got my contract and in two weeks of time I'm off to America
Agency(s) Red11 models
Countries Visited America (LA, Ohio & New York), Hong Kong, Singapore, Australia (Sydney), New Zealand (Of course), hopefully Paris, Milan and London soon all the places I've been to for work.
