The Assassin Seas. Pt 1

I love shooting, and especially editing, darker images, and Sarah is such a perfect model for that kind of stuff. The hands here belong to Chelsea, and she will feature more prominently in Pt 2 :)
I de-creepied this A LOT. (Yeah, that's a word...)
I tried out loads of different compositions and levels of horror-ness (also a word) and at one point it was so creepy my boyfriend refused to look at it for fear of nightmares. That's Luls.
--
I think this may be the first conceptual piece of mine to come from the meetup.
I have so many photos on the go right now, and I'm finding it hard to prioritise editing and posting them.
--
I suggest you cancel all plans you have for today and look at all the photos from the Midwest meetup in this GROUP. I mean, what's more important than a bunch of conceptual artists taking pics of eachother and posting them on the internet? Pfftt...nothing...Amiright?
Also, this photo contains hidden Luls for anyone at the Meetup.

Heeeere's my Facebook, where you can see the BEFORE AND AFTER and you can ask me questions such as "How'd you do that?" and "Can I see photos of your feet?" O_O
I can't guarantee I'll answer them all...

    Very creepy but very well done with the hands!

    P.S. Loving it that you also attract the feet creepers ;D Have blocked my share of those!

    Impressive toning, wonderful composition with great mastery in the control of light.
    I enjoyed seeing your wonderful photostream, I have seen, how could it be otherwise, the labor of a true professional photographer, I wish you much success in your profession, thanks for your kind comment, greetings from India.

  27. kimcoverack (10 months ago | reply)

    I am trying to resist the temptation of asking how you managed the bubbles in the water.. but I can't help but ask? Scarily Sarah looks resigned to her doom and the face on the bottom left, well, what the ding dang doodly is that cos it's well scary?
