The purpose of my magazine is to not only showcase my work but it is also meant to serve as a platform for upcoming talents. So in other words if you are musician, singer, dancer, or model this magazine will give you a chance to showoff those skills. I aim to capture the personality of the person, which is important because you want people to see you for who you are, and not for what your appearance may be.

What story am I telling?

I was inspired by a colorful David Bowie photograph and I wanted to create an expressive portrait. I wanted the model to be covered in different colored shapes and patterns. Heather, the model/ makeup artist, brought my vision into reality along with her visually representation. We started with light hearted innocent poses. The more we listened to Danny Elfman’s movie scores and Tom Waits, we transitioned to a darker concept. Heather happened to have an apple in her bag...So we came up with an idea of including the apple as sinister element. The apple was

then painted with bring neon colors as well as adding pins for an edgier look. Heather took a few bites and painted the bitten area. I changed the lights to match the mood, and made the scene darker. The story begins with the eyes of the model as she stares into the audience eyes. A sinful appetite of lust and aggression captivated me as the photographer and that’s what I captured in the moment.

What is the main source of light? The main source of the light was the beauty dish. I set up the key light at a 45 degree angle above the model’s eyeline. The second

light (strobe light) was a rim and background light. I wanted to separated the model from the background, because I didn’t want her hair to be lost in the darkness.

How will the eye travel through this image? I wanted to the audience to focus on the eyes of the model. With the red and yellow colors being so dominant, for some reason you look for the blue in the image. Heather’s eyes are blue, which helped to retain the audience’s attention.
