Here is a "Picture Of a Bedtime Story" - 3/1/18

Here is a picture that i've had in my head for quite some time now. As I was looking through my local craft store in search for a valentines day present; I stumbled upon this familiar looking glass case. As soon as I saw it sitting on the bottom shelf I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it. I've always loved fairy tales and other little fables. I admit I have a large collection of books that I read every night before I head off to sleep. This image is a combination of multiple items that remind me of bedtime stories. Now this particular piece is meant to tell a story, however that story is up to the imagination of the viewer. 

As for my usual technical explanation. I shot this against a black backdrop using a single soft box and my off camera flash. 

Personally I had a lot of fun taking this image and I hope you enjoy it. 

As always feel free to leave any feedback you want. I hope you all enjoy and have a great day. 

"The King's Golden Apples" - 12/21/15

The following is the first image from my latest project. This photo series titled "The Firebird" will be a photographic representation of an old Slavic fairy tale of the same name.

The story tells of a Tsar in possession of a tree bearing golden fruit. One day the Tsar discovered that someone was stealing his golden apples, and thus sends his three sons to investigate. This first image represents the magical apples that grow in the Tsar's orchard. 

The full story can be read here

All images from this series can be found on this page, which will be updated as the project continues.
