Liloo. A taste of ashes

Liloo. A taste of ashes

I'm not quite sure what to make of this... definitely eye-catching, but my main question, is how did you get her to do that? I mean, if I asked my girlfriend to "Hey, honey, how about you take off all your clothes and smear yourself with fireplace ash and sit in the fireplace naked and let me take a few shots..." I'd get a cold stare... I'd really like to see some outtakes from this session.

Thanks Phil for the elaborate comment ;)

 

Basically, my models work with me for the shooting experience. We isolate ourselves 2/3 days in a row, to shoot and do just that. It's a sort of creative seminar, if you like. Hence, they usually are not surprised nor reluctant to try new stuff...

Very original and dramatic. Rising from the ashes, love it. Slightly darker would also be good.Regards Antonio.
