Scáthach - Published in Conceptual Magazine

I have been sitting patiently on this set for almost a year! It was suppose to be published, but that magazine just ceased to exist one day! So I waited till I found a magazine that it would fit into and finally I came across Conceptual Magazine and they just happened to be doing an issue with the most perfectly suited theme. High Fashion Tribal. Boom! (and they accepted women's topless images - so grateful!)This was the very first time I got to work with Charlene from Faye Tality Couture. She lent us the amazing body cage and accessories, as well as the 2nd outfit. It was the start to a beautiful friendship. I love that she just lives down the street from me, works great for last minute, impromptu photo shoots!|Photographer: ArtistJessicaRaeDesigner: Faye Tality CoutureHair/Makeup: Marecel DanielMuse: Karilee * This post contains topless nudity * Purachase your copy of Conceptual Magazine Issue 5  HERE xoxox Artist Jessica Rae

Big thank you to Dana O'dell who wrote a short piece that was included in the publication

Scáthach

The birds stir up at her exhaled breath

It is her, the lone Warrior Queen

Her body is alive with the feel of earth and moss and bark

She breathes the air exhaled by those

Who walked before her

Now she remembers

why she is the Warrior Queen.

She lifts her face to the sun.

gathering light, brightening the darkest corners of the forest

as, she cries out.

A cry from generations past–that summons ravens and dragons

A cry that all those who love the darkness

should learn to remember.Dana O'Dell © 2016

At the beginning of December I was playing around with new studio setups and  fell in love with this one so much that I put together a team right away and the next day this session happened. Sometimes the best laid plans aren't plans at all but whims of fancy! I partner up with one my of my favourite designers Charlene Rowley of Faye Tality Couture, she had the most amazing pieces to pull off the look I was aiming for. Fellow Maple Ridge photographer, Tanzyn Ambrose graciously agreed to be my muse for this set and she got all glammed up by the talented Makeup in Session's, Sana Nurani. I am so blessed to call all of these amazing women friends, and that they go along with my mad ideas <3These images  have been featured in Gilded Magazines issue 7 vol 2 edition.
