As a photographer, I had the incredible opportunity to bring to life five unique and surprising concepts, capturing the essence of spontaneity, imagination, and artistry. Join me on this enchanting journey as I share the stories behind each mystery shoot and the magic that unfolded on set.
Saturated Periwinkle:
The first mystery shoot featured the vibrant concept of "Saturated Periwinkle." With Lindsey as the model, we embarked on a playful adventure. The theme incorporated a purple swimsuit, a water gun, plastic colors, and even a blow-up pool. Despite the unexpected rain that poured down at the end, Lindsey embraced the spontaneity, capturing the essence of the vibrant vibe we had envisioned. The resulting images beautifully showcased the joy and energy of the shoot.

Alluring Angelic Opposition:
For the second concept, "Alluring Angelic Opposition," I sought to create a vision that pushed boundaries and defied conventions. The location was the breathtaking Frying Pan Tower, and to participate, one needed to conquer any fear of heights. Models Katie and Virginia graced the shoot, donning flowing dresses and adorned with red and black wings. As we hiked and overcame challenges, the models demonstrated remarkable resilience. The resulting images captured the ethereal beauty of their contrasting attire against the striking backdrop of the tower.

Downloading the Void:
With the third concept, "Downloading the Void," I aimed to create something abstract and magical. Three models joined me on this enchanting journey, dressing as green ethereal goddesses. I borrowed swords and an axe from my friend Vvitch to add a touch of mystique. Together, we brought "the void" to life using molar sheets, creating an otherworldly atmosphere. Despite a model dropping out, the shoot went on, and the resulting images exuded a captivating and almost mystical aura.

Reflective Musing:
"Reflective Musing" marked the fourth mystery shoot, a concept I had yearned to bring to life for years. Baylee, a brave and adventurous model, embraced the challenge. The vision involved a bed floating in a body of water, a symbol of tranquility and reflection. With the air mattress perfectly positioned, the scene became a testament to the beauty of collaboration and the realization of artistic dreams. Overwhelmed by the outcome, tears of gratitude flowed as I witnessed the beauty that unfolded before my eyes.

Bonus: Fable Forest:
As an added delight, a revealed mystery concept named "Fable Forest" presented an opportunity to showcase the magical artistry of Tanasia, Maia, Iris, and the paper mache mushrooms they crafted. Vaun, a beautiful hair stylist, served as the model, bringing life to the enchanting atmosphere we had envisioned. This concept came to fruition from our collaborative effort in making the paper mache mushrooms for my bridal shower. The result was a fairy-tale-like setting that delighted the senses and ignited the imagination.
