Divergent Dame

This is a photo from a shoot that I recently worked on! I found this beautiful women working at a local boutique that I often shop and she just so happened to be exactly what I was looking for!

I approached her and asked if she would be interested in being my model. From there, I showed her some pictures of some photos that my partner Johna and I had just finished. She was impressed and agreed!

My inspiration for this shoot was a futuristic but modern look and I wanted to capture a dark and simple photo. I went to a craft supply store, Hobby Lobby, and found some interesting pieces such as the pictured cool sea urchin looking thing, some feathers and so much more! I put her in a form fitting turtle neck (BeBe), cut the feathers out and placed them under the neck and sleeves.

I really love the way this image came out! Simple, yet dark and beautiful. I will be posting more of her in a couple of different outfits but with the same divergent-aspired look!

So let’s talk about her hair! Part of being a model is agreeing to let me do what I want with the cut and color. This color and cut process took me a total of 6 hours. I knew when I saw her that she was going to be photogenic. But what I didn’t realize was that she was going to look like Lady Ga Ga! When I posted this photo on Facebook and Instagram, that was the response from nearly everyone!

As for the makeup… I freakin’ love what I did! That makeup matched her hair to the T! I couldn’t have been more pleased with this image.
