Legend: standard outfit
New photoshoot! Almost a year after the first one, here’s a set of pictures taken in a very interesting (yet forbidden) place called the Désert de Retz. It’s basically a large park (or 40-ha “garden”) with ruins scattered all over it. It makes for an excellent location for Lara shots if you don’t fear ticks, chiggers or getting caught by the occasional ranger… But the park is so magical and quiet! I love that there are amazing places like that in the very region I live in.
Costume improvements: having sold the old one, I made a new backpack. The top is also new, but I am still not happy with it! Which means I’ll probably end up selling it. Ahh the joys of being a perfectionist!

VIDEO: Legend Action
Finally some decent pictures in the well-known Legend outfit. Somehow this costume is giving me a hard time! It still needs some adjustments, but I really wanted to bring it with me to Kenya, for I knew this would be an amazing opportunity to do some Ghana-inspired shots!
You will easily understand why I did not take any pictures in the savannah (Lara goes on safari?!). The falls provided exactly the kind of background I wanted, and I would’ve done the swan dive if it had been possible! In a Kenyan park and in August, you’d think the water was fine, but it was actually incredibly cold (more than 5 minutes in it and my legs would have turned blue); the rain poured the day before, explaining the temperature. Please forgive the crazy hair and the absence of USP guns, as they are not allowed in the country.
I will probably do another photoshoot when this (apparently cursed) costume is 100% finished.
