People come to me with all kinds of ideas. Some are pretty basic, "I want to shoot in a bright color shirt" and others are something I can sink my teeth into, "I want to be Medusa." Ah, now there's an idea! Thanks to Mel for bringing it my way.
I made the hair for the shoot. It's fake hair, back combed and twisted into dreads and then boiled in hot water (burnt all my fingertips) and strung with wire (so it could bend). I'm grateful to artists/models when they come to me with something that makes my brain come alive and jump for joy. Sadly, I'm not an endless supply of ideas and I'm always looking for something to create and not just a picture. I like to make things with my hands as well — hair, headpieces, jewelry. I find that my favorite pictures are usually the ones where I was able to add something more than lighting and good focus.
