Geisha shoot

Photographer/Designer Elizabeth Stoddert wanted to create a Geisha shoot so I helped accomoplish her vision. Beth and I collaborated on the make-up design which I painted and she did the hair and costuming. Coutney Elizabeth Ford, Heather Addley and I were the models.

Soliel as Avitar
