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!

Magic Man

After two years Mario has finally returned to his rightful place in front of my camera! A Sunday afternoon spent at a cemetery might not be everybody's cup of tea but cemeteries are usually very beautiful places and amazing backdrops for photography. And to be fair there seemed to be an unusual amount of people holding family powwows next to the tombs. This particular cemetery has the honor of being the oldest in the city and it's a wonderful maze of mausoleums and ornate tombs.

Luiza Pino is back as stylist extraordinaire for this magic man/evil person shoot. 30 + degree weather is no joke in a leather trench coat, so mad props to Mario for toughing it out.  This shoot was actually two shoots done at the same time and part tow will be up tomorrow!






















extra shot with Maria C :)
