Model/Actress Cecilia was the subject of HDPortrait.com’s “avant-garde portrait”. The photography was shot in my studio (which you know can be anywhere in Orange County, LA, etc.)

The entire process took several days, including shopping for design elements, fabric, ornamentation, meeting with the makeup artist Scarlette and her assistant to artistically paint Cecilia’s face, using airbrush, feather and lashes. The set consisted of the stretched fabric material on the floor. A scaffold is set atop the fabric. The photographer stands atop the scaffold and shoots straight down. Set styling by Gary Amundson (with thanks!)
