Well I finally found a blog layout I really love. For a while I was entertaining the idea that I would design my own, but no I do not have the patience for that. But I really love this one. I want a clean space for images and thoughts. I want to start writing more. Talk about art and film and fashion instead of just visually showing what interests me. Time to use your words, Jenna. These are some self-portraits I recently took. Naturally, I needed some moons and stars.
I've been trying to figure out why I photograph myself and my friends in veils so often. Then I found this quote on Vogue's facebook: "What is the appeal of a veil? 'It turns a pretty woman,' Vogue wrote in 1917, 'into a siren.'" And there ya go. I love the mystery and the transformative nature of just one sheer piece of fabric over my face. It's like a superhero's mask, but I still wanna show off my rad makeup, duh.

These shots are absolutely gorgeous, and the moon and stars imagery is so beautiful! I love the quote from Vogue too, very appropriate.

These are reminiscent of some of the great photographers of the 20th century, awesome work.
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful. I think veils add a mysterious vibe to a woman, and it makes her more interesting.

That quote gave me goosebumps because your pictures are so pretty and thinking about those words with your photos just made my heart flutter!!! I love your work so much. And the new design is lovely of course. xxx
ReplyDeleteooh, i'm really liking the new layout. and these photos are gorgeous. i love that vogue quote and think a veil really can add such a layer of mystery to someone and their outfit! kind of makes someone not as available as well, by literally adding a screen between the person and the rest of the world, you know? xx
ReplyDeleteI read the exact same article in Vogue and that one quote got stuck in my head immediately!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that you like my blog and have linked yours in a comment. Really love it.
