DID A WORKSHOP WITH MICHAEL LOUIS PHOTOGRAPHY STUDIO A MONTH OR TWO AGO. I HAD TWO EXCEPTIONALLY TALENTED MODELS FEATURED, PETITE UKRAINIAN MODEL AKA MASHA POSES AND NIKKI MARIE.
THIS PARTICULAR SET, THE IDEA WAS FOR THE WORKSHOP ATTENDEES TO SHOOT THE MODELS WHILE THEY (THE MODELS) SHOT EACH OTHER, IN THIS CASE MASHA SHOOTING NIKKI. THE TWIST, THEY WERE TAKING ACTUAL PICTURES.

When my lips draw close, the mirror clouds over
And I vanish behind my own sighs
Like an aristocrat hiding behind his crest
Or a gangster behind his tattoos

Faded photographs
Your eyes say a thousand words to me
Faded photographs
Shadows fill my lonely room

Because storytelling, and visual storytelling, was put in the hands of everybody, and we have all now become storytellers.

Angel
Come to me, let me be
Part of all the love you are
Cause angel
We could fly, you and I
Ride a rainbow to the stars

Being natural is incredibly empowering for women because it’s just who you are.

There is only one day left, always starting over: it is given to us at dawn and taken away from us at dusk. Jean-Paul Sartre
