Did some shots this evening for the designer of this enormous 'cross-theme' necklace.

Yeah..this kinda picks up from where Madonna left off..and yeah..the symbolism is appropo..it speaks to how many people feel about the turn of world events especially with the Neo crazies at the helm..just chomping to use a few Nukes..this image here evokes from Hamlet.....here Gertrude narrates how Ophelia dies.......

 

 

There is a willow grows aslant a brook,

That shows his hoar leaves in the glassy stream;

There with fantastic garlands did she come

Of crow-flowers, nettles, daisies, and long purples

That liberal shepherds give a grosser name,

But our cold maids do dead men's fingers call them:

There, on the pendent boughs her coronet weeds

Clambering to hang, an envious sliver broke;

When down her weedy trophies and herself

Fell in the weeping brook. Her clothes spread wide;

And, mermaid-like, awhile they bore her up:

Which time she chanted snatches of old tunes;

As one incapable of her own distress,

Or like a creature native and indued

Unto that element: but long it could not be

Till that her garments, heavy with their drink,

Pull'd the poor wretch from her melodious lay

To muddy death.

 

Regards, Leica Mann:)

Graham -

 

This photo, and the ones on your site show that you have a wonderful eye, terrific imagination, and all the tehcnical abilities to pull it off successfully as exemplified by this shot. BTW: I encourage you to post the head shot of the woman wearing the canvas hat, bathed in warm, low light. Also, you continue to show us that Estonia produces some of the most attractive models working today. And Jaak's daughter (he's from Tallinn) will join those ranks, soon.

That's a very nice compliment - thanks! I'll post the image you suggest.

 

By the way, there are only 3 Estonian girls on my site at the moment. The others are Danish, Swedish and Latvian.

 

I know Jaak, in fact he talked me into moving here

 

ok, does anyone prefer this one?

 

[stuny]

I prefer the other for its directness. Both are appropriately disturbing, but this one a bit more, too.

graham hi

dont know - like them both - the first one is more static and "iconic" while the second is more dynamic partly because of the angle of photo (camera) partly because of models expression.

[albertwang]

First one is better. I like the way her eyes roll opposite to the way the cross is going. Two strobes eh?

[graham_mitchell]

Thanks for the feedback. Here's a retouched versionof #1

 

[jacksparrow]

Nice pics, I prefer the second, but might be just because it reminds me more Millais's Ophelia

thanks for showing

At first look I preferred the second but the final edit of #1 conveys a whole range of emotions and possibilities and is undoubtedly the winner for me

Millais: Ophelia

 

thanks for showing

 

Nice pick, Jack. I remember one music video, who knows the name of that?

Graham - the revised image is truly well done. What did you shoot this with?

 

Cheers,

Graham,

 

Your shots are simply beautiful. I can't imagine that the designer would not be pleased. I'm wondering if the designer plans to sell this cross necklace? Out of curiosity who would wear it? Any idea? I've noticed an increase in crosses as fashion accessories and I've often wondered where this fascination comes from? It can't all just be about imitating Madonna. Any idea?
