Alum Lilies
I had an idea about combining lilies with a nude using the lilies both as a camouflage and a metaphor. Sally helped with this shoot.
In the end, I liked these two the best.
Glass Bra
I was approached by a burlesque dancer I know to make a bra in the style used for Theda Bara as Cleopatra in a 1917 film. The original was in copper or brass, but the artist wanted more risk by using glass.
|
This was the first attempt. Close but not exactly right. |
The second version was good, but as the performance was almost immediately, I did not get shots. The following photographs were sent to me by the artist, but she failed to give me the photographer's name.

Margaret came to the studio on a rare sunny day, so we used the sun rather than other studio lighting.
