The Wire Crown

Last blog post of the year! It's also my last collaboration of the year with Ella Ruth, who will likely have hers up in the near future (hint, hint, nudge, nudge). Theme was "dark princess" and we both crafted some very nifty wire crowns (sore thumbs for days).

Once more I found myself in a cemetery because strangely they seem to be the most photogenic places in my hometown. Model is Maria Carolina Donado.

Because I love tulle and golden hour, this is a long blog post. Enjoy!

Mostly improvised shoots always turn out to be the best shoots. And it doesn't get more improvised than driving around on a Sunday afternoon looking for nice locations. Model is Valentina Salazar and fashion comes courtesy of local designers Judy Hazbun and Laetitia by Tatiana Robles.

I had to share these photos straight away, barely 5 hours after finishing the shoot. It's always a real treat when images just come out amazing and editing is minimal and fast. Major kudos to Chelsea for driving up to Washington for a rainy afternoon and posing while hiding from picnic-goers. Also, for taking a dip in the freezing river, for which I apologize, but I love every single photo.

After leaving England I've been in weird emotional and creative rut, barely picking up my camera in 5 months. I'm inordinately happy that it feels comfortable in my hands again and I'm proud of my work. Thanks again to Chelsea for making my job so easy, you're a natural.

Long post ahead....
