POISON PARADISE

The concept of this photography project was the mastermind of Luke & Melani. I was approached by them to collaborate on this shoot that was based on a forest nymph who lures her prey into her web. The 1st 4 images are meant to show her beauty & the lush greenery of the forest. As we progress into the scene, the colors of the forest become more ominous & dark to lead up to her taking the life force from her unsuspecting prey. This was one of the most difficult photo shoots I’ve ever done, not only photographically & editing but building a storyline. Melani & Luke, we soooo good at the shoot & building her wardrobe. My team of Brandon, Eric & Tien was beyond professional, making sure Mel was comfortable during the shoot, light placement, fogging the scene & crushing a few lighting difficulties we had to overcome!
