Faux Fairytale Part 2
Added 2023-05-17 19:14:32 +0000 UTCHey, ya'll! This is the 2nd part of the faux fairytale series, which is also the final part as well! Part of me wants to open this as a mini-shoot option, I just had so much fun working on this project.
Anyways, my model for this album is Andrea! She and I have been working together for years, we bonded over the loss of our daughters and always find time during shoots to check in on each other and our grief journey.
We have done so many creative shoots during our time together and this one was amazing! Her dress is from Etsy, and good lord, what a time she had with that! We originally were supposed to shoot earlier in the month but due to the weather had to reschedule, and even with the extended time her dress was causing some issues! When it arrived it was like 45 sizes too big, she spent countless hours working on it, and even up until the night before the shoot she was sewing, removing things, and begging the dress gawds to help!
But she did it! And the dress was magnificent!
I shot this set with my Nikon D850 and my Sigma Art 35mm lens, which I think gives the background and skin a glow. I edited the images in Lightroom, my favorite place to edit! As you all remember my first faux fairytale was very airy and light, with lots of sun rays, and super golden. In this set, we had a much darker vibe going which worked out great weather-wise! Overcast gave this shoot everything it needed to be magic.
I am always trying to up my game, creativity-wise. With Patreon I feel like I can really explore some artistic elements freely, and that is just so exciting for me! I am so honored to have you all on this journey with me!
