Description
Still another image from my ongoing "Visions" project--and exploration of photographic art, inspired by the pre-Raphaelites and Victorian classicists, as well as fairy tales, folk tales and poetry.

This image features the marvelously versatile and talented Jennifer, whose modeling portfolios can be found at: [link] and at [link] . You can view more of here here, as Mrs. Darling and in Reverie .

This shoot had a rather loosely interpreted Renaissance theme...and this particular image shows off not only the lovely Jenn, but also a very cool "scroll" that I spent two nights making, a couple of days before the shoot. (Two wooden dowels, a pad of tracing paper, tape, and watered down burnt sienna. ) Although you can't see much of it, *I* am very much aware of the embroidery that is lurking in the background...as I decided that another perfect prop for the shoot would be a giant embroidery hoop, with some half-finished embroidery on it.

I freehanded some interesting scrollies on the fabric, and then spent a couple of days embroidering them in warm shades of gold, scarlet and green. I hadn't embroidered since I was 10. I remembered why, while working on this! (Looks good on camera, though! )

I thought of calling this "The Poetess"--for that's what she is, of course, but as I worked on it, I somehow knew the character's name was Isabella...and that she wasn't writing just anything...but dreams...wonderful dreams.

Enjoy!
