The styling week was really interesting and challenging. The week started with with the head piece being finished and the photo shoot being prepared. The initial idea was a princess, isolated from society living in the woods, her crown make of cotton and headbands, a bit dirty of dirt and leaves. Her puffy skirt would be dirty and probably she had no shoes on. But, a minor problem with my piece - the cotton was too heavy to hold the crown and it was falling on my face - then the second and final idea was born.
A creature living in the woods, haunted and terrifying people that dared to go into the woods. The cotton piece falling on my face with the black outfit made a perfect composition for a horror shoot. Inspired by the opening of the TV show "American Horror Story Coven" the ambiance was dark, blurry, dirty and very creepy. The goal was to have such strong image you would be able to hear the opening song on the back of your head.
The day was dark, rainy and the woods were empty, a contrast to the always busy common hill. A perfect scene for a even creeper scenario. Mission accomplished. The rain made it all so blurry and wet it was difficult to even keep the piece on.
The results paid off though l. The photos were creepy and with a subtle sepia effect, lines that weren't there before suddenly showed up. Making it even more interesting.
