Description PENNY DREADFUL
Also called Gallows Literature. A dime novel rife with melodrama, horror, madness and cruelty; a ten cent analogy of vice and virtue in conflict. Soft perfume evocative of noir heroines over rich red grave loam.

I really like this shot. It seems warmer than your other pictures and that seems to reflect really well in the posing and makeup you have on. Some of your other photos you seem almost like a mannequin and it is usually appropriate. Amazing amazing pictures

Perhaps something about thigh high at your feet.. a black floral arrangment on a small table, or even a high gloss black vase? Or perhaps a period telephone would fit in there? Something uber simple would be black ribbon/ties added to the drapes...

I like them just fine however..

JimInEuropa [2009-01-14 21:12:24 +0000 UTC]

For some reason, it's the lighting which kills it for me - too harsh and bare, too reportage-like. Perhaps the whole thing again in a sepia tinge, or at least in b&w while ever-so-gently defocusing it? A cute wooden frame-style border, perhaps? Just some thoughts...

Check again now? I think the problem was some ungainly negative space

I always love your photography, but I only ever have one thing to say: your poses and facial expressions are always too similar (in my opinion)! Still a nice photo.

silvergrey In reply to xallurex [2009-01-14 20:23:47 +0000 UTC]

It's true; there's only so many poses/expressions that are suitable for showing off the clothes in fashion modeling. I'm plotting to do a moreso expressive project here soon

You seem to be the very creative type, I don't doubt they'll be great. I just was worried you'd get stuck in a rut X3
