Walking Canvas

I recently worked with a fellow photographer and created a video of this wonderful woman. She does skin art photography and her work is magnificent. Please take the time to watch this video of her work and what I was able to capture of her.

Scars Tribute

A friend of mine recently approached me with a photo idea in which she called the "Scars Tribute"... now my love for creating the deep emotional portraiture i wanted to capture what she presented to me. Here is my interview with her after the shoot was completed and published.

Photographing the beauty

One of my models I tied up her wrists to a pole and I wanted the concept to be everyday fashion, but it came out as scared confused girl. But I personally LOVE how it turned out!!!

A photograph I loved from my mock portfolio inspired what I would do with the other model. The photo was of a lady with red hair; red mask and it had a strong feeling from it. So my only idea was to use a mask and while I was at a thrift store I saw weird but beautiful cat mask. When I bought the mask is when my entire representation of the shot came alive. Now due to the mask being a cat I wanted my model to have that feline feel. We curled, teased and sprayed that hair till I got my perfect mane. Then we covered her eyes with gold tones and we painted her lips with gold sparkles. I got the shot I envisioned and more.

 

The video created will be placed up soon!!!

Teddy Bear Suicide

 

 

In my photo I wanted the teddy bear to signify a forgotten abused child, because when I think of a teddy bears I instantly think child. I wanted the medication and noose to signify the suicide.

Suicide is number 10 on leading causes of death in 2010 and I’m sure the number is still rising..

The list goes on!

My photo showed a bear who had been abused and was trying to find the “easy” way out.

I just want to be clear right now that I am not suicidal, or abuse… I really don’t want to have people think I am plotting on ways to show everyone I want to kill myself because truth is out I am not trying to kill myself. I am actually trying to open eyes on how disgusting suicide is and had we need to care about everyone…
