SHE’S GOT CHOPS!
So, we meet up with our model Jane just outside the Glen Echo Ravine in Columbus to talk about what she has in mind for this portrait shoot. She tells us she’s got a few wardrobe choices as she pulls out some reasonable selections along with this bright, shimmery, blue/purple mass of fluffy fabric which she is calling a dress. Now, I’m no fashion expert, but this dress has me really worried: I just don’t see this working at all, but Jane assures us it’s going to be great. I respond with a very skeptical “Okay” and tell her we’d better save that dress for last.
I should have just trusted her from the beginning because the photos of her in this dress are my favorites from the shoot. I love the way she poses with it, using it as a prop so as to call just enough attention to it. It becomes an intentional choice and a second character in the photos. We are now focused the story of Jane and The Dress in this brightly colored, twisted-fairytale little world. Truly amazing work by the talented model!
