IDEATION

Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's Dream served as character inspiration for models. The bright color blocking and make-up looks of the early 1970s set the styling tone.

PRODUCTION

Location

I chose to shoot at the local cemetery for it's lush green backdrops and accessibility.

Props

A simple collection of fake florals and bubble makers gave my models something playful.

Ensemble

Using four models at once allowed me to create tableaus using perspective.
CREATION

Adding warm light and florals to the natural landscape turned the local cemetery into a magical forest.
