Seraglio

After much anticipation, I finaly received several images from the narrative series I shot with Craig Dean and Bernadette this last year in Maine.  We conceived the tableu based on oriental paintings and decided to give it a little more modern posture, elgance of posing, and interaction; without losing the time period costumes and the level of pattern and decadence.  I crafted all the costumes, concentrating on transluscent fabric in the harem pants and simple patterns that might have actually been used in Persia in the 1800s:  Marden's was an edlessly wonderful resource for trim.

  This was the first time Bernadette and I worked together besides some fashion photography I shot of her, and I hope we can combine talents again this summer!
