Between Darkness & Light

[Lunatique]

I wanted to do something dramatic, lush, and a bit wicked, so I did a pretty heavy job on Elena's make-up (I do make-up for my models sometimes if I feel that they might not understand what I wanted). The session was in two parts; the first part is the dark and dramatic look I wanted--something that evokes the kind of shadowy intensity you feel from watching David Lynch films (any David Lynch fans here?), the second part is sensual and luminous-- the opposite of the darkness of the first part. Elena kept the same outfit on, and only changed her make-up for the second part (she did the make-up for the second part). It's really intersting how the different looks affects Elena's mood, and also changes the way I perceive her from behind the camera. It was an interesting exploration of duality.

Here are some shots from the session:

EDIT:
BBCode doesn't like the character "&," so my images didn't show up here. But you can see them here instead: http://www.ethereality.info/ethereal...ss_&_light.htm

Great photos, BTW.
