ABOUT: I use props like clothing items sparingly. Then anything worn or held becomes significant. Also, I believe that those elements influence the model to pose in certain ways. Here, we have just a belt and boots. Both are constricting, yet the rest of her is free.

DESCRIPTION: My model, A, embodies the steampunk image in the way she dresses and presents herself. She loves the fantasy element that it offers. Responsive to my models, their interests and what they bring to a session, I wish to bring this into the art that I create.

DESCRIPTION: A bright white shirt is classic, and so deserves a more classical approach to the drawing and composition. I wanted to keep it very simple, clean, and refined.

DESCRIPTION: This such a sassy pose. The hat and dress work perfectly together, too. There’s something both formal and cheeky about all the elements that make up this image.

ABOUT: In each studio session, I respond to the temperament, personality, and vibe of the model. I encourage him/her to bring items that express their interests, values, and identity. The boots, the collar, and the dagger are very her. She has a cool, tough, hip street look, though is very ‘tender.’
