Christen Harper’s 2023 SI Swimsuit experience was one to remember. The three-time brand model, who was named co-winner of the Swim Search in 2021 and earned co-Rookie of the Year honors in ’22 (both alongside BFF Katie Austin), was photographed by Amanda Pratt in Dominica for her most recent feature.

“The location was stunning. I had never even heard of Dominica [before my photo shoot]. It was just so jungly and green and lush and beautiful. It’s one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been,” she told SI Swimsuit during launch week events in Florida. “And we got to go under a waterfall which was really cool. It kind of made the whole shoot a little more moody. Every year has its own magic that keeps it exciting and fresh.”
