circa 1892
circa 1892

Here we are with a photo that is a bit simpler in concept, at least at first glance. No head stuck in a milky jar or recreation of Ophelia. The thing I enjoy doing about shots like this, and I sort of have a similar feeling toward my oranges shot, is that there is an implied story and everyone can make up their own.

Here is mine, and what I talked about with the model before we shot...don't read if you want to interpret your own and not be swayed by mine -

We had a great time coming up with this story. So she is in the 1890s, and she had a boyfriend that she loved very much, but her parents didn't approve. She decided she would run away with him, but shortly after doing this he left her. She couldn't go back to her parents because they didn't want someone who left their family, so she had to prostitute herself to make money. There was shame in this for her, and since making enemies with the police she decided to flee the state and start a new life for herself (presumably with this lovely pink dress stuffed in her suitcase).

So...in other words....photos can be a lot of fun when you just make up a somewhat silly story and go with it :-)
