The Kelly Thompson shoot for 1am Magazine shows off some western culture with a modern twist. While they do wear plaid, hang out in barns and wear cowboy hats, these models are not your typical cowgirls and boys. With piercing and black lipstick, they all have a touch of goth about them.
The shoot entitled 'From Diamonds to Rust' is perfect for the melancholy feel of the spread. Check out this country couture shoot above and be sure to click the pictures below to see more from the talented Kelly Thompson.
