luxe shoot

so here's the shoot i've been working on the past few weeks with my talented friend roxy who styled the models.  luxe hair boutique, teagan who did the hair, stef the make up, and ryan, jess and bree who modelled.  we all worked together as a team and now the task is to submit them somewhere to get them published for some exposure. one step at a time.

inspiration: francesca woodman

i am surprised that i've never come across francesca woodman before today, an american photographer (1958-1981).  from age 13 she used herself as the main subject in her black and white photographs but she had a short lived career choosing to take her life at age 23 by jumping out of a loft window in new york.  i am in awe of her photographs, and  have never felt such a reaction to art, they are incredibly eerie and will continue to haunt me but also inspire me to use curiosity and truth.
