Athena, the Corpse Bride

Tonight I shot a wonderful model by the name of Athena Marie.
Athena’s specialty is typically pin-up work, however she comes up with a number of odd, unique ideas for her side projects. Well, I had liked some of her other work, and she liked my lighting work, and a week later we had plans for this shoot. The Corpse Bride.

Unfortunately the graveyard we had hoped to shoot at had closed an hour before we got there… yup… middle of the afternoon – not dusk like most normal graveyards.
We had two other locations planned, both of them churches. I had selected this over the other one because of access and appearance – plus the other one wasn’t in the best neighborhood.
I had thought last night that this would be a great building to do a blood-red wash of light… and ho-ly shit, I actually pulled it off!

I have a number of other images, but, as goes my typical workflow… I’ll get to those in the next few days.

Good night all!
