DESCRIPTION: Part of a small series where I use image and text together. Here the quotes of Lady Macbeth, which continue to resonate strongly today. This is my contemporary interpretation of her quote. I wanted the image to be campy and kitsch.
ABOUT: I very much like model to be herself, and bring to a session anything that expresses her interests and identity. She’s an avid skater. Strongly so. Her pose communicates her being so much in charge of herself, being confident and assured about what she is and does with her life. That is attractive.
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.’
ABOUT: My model grew up in Texas, so when I suggest she bring anything to the session relevant to her identity, she came with cowboy/cowgirl gear. The pose and title naturally came out of her Texan upbringing.There is something a bit confrontational and self-assured here.
ABOUT: Thanatos, in ancient Greek religion and mythology, is the personification of death. Thanatos was the son of Nyx, the goddess of night, and the brother of Hypnos, the god of sleep. He appeared to humans to carry them off to the underworld when their time allotted to them by the Fates had expired. My Thanatos passionately embraces the unknown. Why fear that which we have not yet encountered?
