Emilie Obscura's photostream

I am a portrait photographer with a strong background in the arts. I prefer to try to be a little experimental and arty with my work.

I like things with contrast and I love to work with people in subcultures. I love using unconventionally beautiful women with piercings and tattoo's for old school Hollywood-esque glamour shots. I would like to raise the status of these women and get rid of the notion that all they are good for is Suicide Girls shots (ie. slutty shots). I think we should encourage the notion that women can be classy and have dignity, no matter what metal or ink they have. Piercing's and tatto's don't make you white trash!!
