Hair & Makeup: Terri Lodge - Blush Premier

The short story of this image is: I wanted to see if I could take a shot like this and STILL look like "my work". My "style", if you will. It is quite outside-the-box for me, subject/theme-wise...and I like a good challenge.

Engel traveled to Portland to work with me several weeks ago. Earlier in the day, we found the dress (shown here) at Goodwill. We stopped off here at the flat before we did the shoot, and my friend & roommate, Carl (who is an extremely talented photographer, btw) got the idea to do a "white trash" prom date sort of thing.

He put his outfit together, then stuffed Engel's dress with pillows (I think)...and game-on :)

I told Engel to look like "just freaking SHOOT ME IN THE HEAD, please"...and I told Carl to give me that uncomfortable/nervous smile that people often feel the need to produce any time a camera is pointed at them.

They both pulled it off :)

By the way: same model, same dress, 30 minutes after this bit of silliness was made »

Good job on all fronts here! They definitely nailed the expressions, and the outfits are ace. I find it interesting how the subject is pretty far from your usual work, but retains the same style and remains peculiarly beautiful in all it's supposed squalor. I like this, it's amusing and ironic and yet appeals to my sense of the aesthetic.
