Art, Fashion, Music and Photography all come from the creative spirit of an artist. While working with his Couturier for a future fashion shoot, Fashion Photographer Robert MacNeil and team started listening to David Bowie’s greatest hits. This then led a discussion about his visual imagery in his music, performances and his movie “The Man Who Fell To Earth”. For those who don’t know David Bowie, the alien comes to earth to save his people. While looking like the other humans his style stood out as something different, something powerful and exotic. This imagery stuck in Robert’s head as he styled the shoot with his jewellery designer Karine Eyamie of MizDragonfly. Robert wanted that same futuristic, creative couture vibe for his shoot. He enlisted Model, MUA and Friend Holly Lenny Ward to fly in from Ottawa to be his Alien star. The shoot took 8 months beginning to end to plan, create, design, shoot and edit this very stylish series. Hope you enjoy. Robert MacNeil is a Toronto, Canada based Fashion and Art Photographer whose images have appeared in 900+ magazines around the world. His style has been called “Ethereal” and a master of “Juxtaposition in Fashion Photography". His work has been showcased in Galleries from Los Angeles to London to Warsaw and dozens of cities in between. Model Holly Lenny Ward is a Muse of Robert’s and has appeared in dozens of magazines together. She is also a Make Up Artist and Aesthetician at Ivonne Sanchez Beauty in Ottawa, Canada while running her own eye lash company called StyleSquad Lashes.
