I was lucky enough to work with an amazing new team on Monday for a photo shoot inspired by Lady Macbeth. Belle Morte supplied the beautiful wardrobe, Andrea Martini did the makeup, and the gorgeous Rachael Jean played our model/Lady Macbeth for the day.

We started our shoot at the abandoned pier (which I'm a little obsessed with at the moment!) as our backdrop for our own, Philadelphia 'castle'.
Just as we arrived, the sky was littered with light clouds, and the sun was casting a gorgeous warm tone over Rachael's skin. Perfect for some shots of Andrea's beautiful makeup work!

Then it was time to play out our Lady Macbeth concept.
our 'castle' Lady Macbeth's suicide.

We then headed over to a dilapidated building, with a huge pile of old car tires, for some slightly unrelated but still, very pretty pictures as the sun set over Philadelphia.

Finally, we headed back inside to finish up the shoot with some studio stuff that was more closely related to our original concept.
This idea was based off Act 5, Scene 5, where Macbeth hears the news of Lady Macbeth's suicide and a messenger tells him that the forest of Birnam is moving towards the castle.





It's been a while since I've done something so heavily concept based. Working with new people always sparks more creativity in me. It's got me thinking, and Michael and I are already brainstorming new ideas to shoot! Can't wait to make them a reality!Once again, thanks to everyone that made this shoot possible and to Andrea for taking some behind the scenes photographs! Can't wait to work with you all again in the future!
