Lately I’ve changed my photographic outlook and am forging ahead with a certain style and type of photos that I enjoy shooting and seeing. I had an epiphany one day when someone was going through my print portfolio and kept saying, “Wow, she’s pretty” and “Nice, she’s gorgeous.”
That was all fine and good, but I’d rather they were saying, “That’s an incredible photo….oh, and by the way, she’s beautiful!” So I’ve now changed my focus to doing more creative thematic shoots with an edge, as well as artistic nudes. Of course, the best would be creative, thematic nudes… and that leads me to my latest theme — The Turning.
This came from an idea from the lovely and talented Cindy Fay , a model and friend who I’ve been working with a lot over the last month and a half. The theme revolves around a beautiful Victorian woman who was bitten, and is in the process of turning into a Vampire. Inspiration was drawn from “Interview with a Vampire” but with our own flavour. Makeup was done by Kaley Marshall and hair styling and assistance provided by Jeanine Chau.
