Topsy Turvy

Model: Rhienium

In essence these are test shots for what I hope will be a more complicated version of this in the future. Still, fun to shoot!

Medium

(These were shot through the lens of a jeweler’s visor, which created the ghostly refraction. If I held it just right it actually reflected what was behind me. I may use that odd feature in a future shoot. Model is Van Burnham, hair and makeup by Gina Campbell)

Red Butterflies

(Model is Jinx)

This was shot with the Digital Rebel last week. I think I will be sticking butterflies to models until the end of time. It’s one of my favorite things.

The Gates of Hell (Model is Verronica)

Faceless

(This is one of the few shoots where I actually had a specific concept based on the model not being terribly fond of her own face. I think she had a wonderful face, right out of a Vermeer painting, but she did not agree. The directive was to be “caught” in various fashion items, where everything is revealed except her face.)

The Grass is Always Greener

(This was shot in my backyard, which is not in the country but actually in an industrial zone near the train tracks. The second shot really appeals to me because her hair is full of wishes, and it looks like the dandelions are coming out of her mouth like speech bubbles.)

Pieces of You

(Shot through a plastic drop cloth with a hole cut in it.)
