This is a continuation of my "Visions" project--an ongoing photographic exploration of themes inspired by pre-Raphaelite and Victorian classicist art, as well as folk and fairy tales, legends, and Romantic poetry.

It's pretty straight photography, as I felt this image didn't need much adornment--and is part of a shoot I'm editing right now--a shoot involving an extraordinary young woman whose modeling name is "Daphne Damage".


Daphne's normal modeling work is about as near opposite my style as you can get--but from the moment she showed up to meet me, bubbling over with enthusiasm and energy, wearing a black leather jacket, rolled up jeans, and pink striped socks, looking like a 5' tall elf, I knew we were going to have FUN.

I was right. :) She's a natural in front of the camera--one of those rare models who is two steps ahead of me, and comes up with poses I would have suggested before I've had a chance to think of them. I pretty much dressed her up, fixed her hair--and then let her loose on the set--and sat back and enjoyed the show.

You can see more of this young lady's portfolio at: [link] (Warning for the younger of my viewers--much of her work is slightly fetish oriented--and involves nudity, although I believe that those images are hidden by default.)

I'm dreadfully behind on my watch lists and in answering comments (ugh! 79D, 40M, 176C, 31J and 5N, at last count!)...but I'm so in love with this image--the skin tones, the eyes--that I couldn't wait to share it with you! :) Enjoy!

Very compelling face. She draws the viewer in.

I've been part of great debated on Photo.net and FLickr, regarding the "art" of photography.
I think there are "photographers" and artists that use photography as a tool. I'm certain you find yourself in the latter category. Perhaps we need a new word to describe that?

FYI, she only has one image up on ModelMayhem.

It's one of mine, too...it's my main business card, actually. :)

Oh--here's something you might enjoy, actually--although it's only online temporarily (hence, the "trial software" notice on it!): [link] It's a Flash version of a sample book I put together recently...and it takes a few moments to download--since it's 40 pages altogether. Unless you're viewing it at 1920 x something, you'll have to scroll, though--it's a little too large for normal viewing. If you see any white pages--go back, and let it load a bit more. All the pages--including the back cover--are color and textured--so anything other than that just means it didn't load properly.

So there. Don't say I never do anything for you! :P

Whoa that is SO cool!!! :excited: I've never seen that before! I especially loved the young girl with it looked like wings and holding flowers and the last photo which was a complete surprise it's so different from your others. Really a wonderful way to showcase your work!! :clap:

Hehe--how like you, to find pieces at both ends of my body of work, to enjoy! :D "Fey" (the little girls with the wings) is from several years ago--the same shoot that yielded all the "little girls with fairy wings" shots...and the other image is actually "Jeanne d'Arc: Imprisoned at Rouen"--and was from the fourth part of an all day shoot we did loosely based on the life of Jeanne d'Arc. We went from pretty peasant girl, to warrior woman, to crowning the king, to half-mad, in prison. I loved the prison segment--our Jeanne really got into it--they were easily my favorites from the shoot. :)

Have I told you lately how much I love you?! :iconflowerdanceplz: :hug: :glomp:
