Our third and final trip this year takes us back to a familiar destination: Sardinia. On two previous journeys, in 2004 and 2006, we encountered the wide variety of landscapes this Italian island has to offer, and we were able to capture some outstanding images. So when I started looking round for somewhere to go in the fall of this year, Sardinia was my first choice: the combination of extremely varied coastal areas and a wealth of mountainous countryside should certainly again help us to select a wide range of locations where I can place my models in suitable settings.

As on the last trip, to Provence in the summer of this year, on this occasion I will once again be responsible for both the still photographs and the video recordings. My new assistant Regina will be providing me with support; this is the first time she will accompany me on a journey. In contrast, the makeup artist Mili has become a regular member of the team; I have worked with her frequently over the last few years.

Janine and Vanessa were the models who had originally been booked for this trip, but the day before we set off Vanessa had to cancel because she suddenly fell sick. I was lucky enough to replace her, even at such short notice, with another model who is definitely just as attractive: Emily was quite prepared to take Vanessa's place and managed to arrange very quickly that she would be away for a few days.
