As a make-up artist I am always trying to find inspiration for my new ideas. I had recently borrowed a book from the library called Decorated Skin: A World Survey of Body Art and when sifting through its pages, analysing these beautiful painted bodies, an idea for a shoot jumped from its pages. I wanted to shoot a trible themed shoot. This would be difficult as it has been done so many times but I wanted to do something different and a more elaborate shoot than I had ever done before. When asking a friend of mine who is a props maker, if she would be interested in helping she jumped at the chance. Our mutual fascination with all things Native American (and my friends obsession with making a tepee) led us to focus this shoot on the nomadic tribes of Native America. I wanted this shoot to be more of an art project if you like, an editorial that tells a story and really engages you with its subject. A strong, proud and courageous woman. Chloes ideas and set design really brought my small idea to life. Here are the result below.
Photographer: David Adams, Concept and Make-up Artist: Francesca Brazzo, Concept and Props: Chloe Rood, Stylist: Melanie Tong, Hair Stylist: Magdalena Tucholska, Model: Marcella.
I wish you would have used the feathers differently. They're sacred in many tribes.
