"Woman" and the photo shoot

The dress entitled "Woman" is now complete and was used for the photo shoot, which was an absolute pleasure...David Lam knew exactly what atmosphere I was looking for and understood my work completely, so that was a confidence boost too. The atmosphere of the shot is very like that of the deserted Irish interiors that I had in my research, and the addition of one of the antique journals completed the image.The dress was shown laying flat...with the journal and a spool of thread placed on the bodice...I had positioned everything randomly, and David thought it perfect with only slight adjustments.Shown here are just a few of the surface details.
