Angelic yet Ghostly .. Alice Faircloth



Can i start by explaining the title ...

Now it may sound like im being a bit of a bitch ...
but im really not ... 


Alice is an incredible beauty ..
 i honestly believe she is a dead ringer for Charlize Theron ...

 i started the shoot thinking of opposites in surroundings and imagery ...

i think the best photographic visuals usually work best when the story is confusing, shocking and sometimes ... damn right crazy 

so i thought .. i have got the perfect location ...
my balcony !!!







and started imagining a palette of intricacies and storyboards that i could use  .. 
then it hit me this idea of fallen angels ...




capturing a moment when so suddenly descended into our world ...

.. but i wanted to look at a more vulnerable side of it .. not so pristine

something more of a distressed and wounded look as if to say .. they have literally fallen from grace !!!



as much as this true ..
when i started shooting and editing the look of the images 

.. started to get darker and scary.. 

 .. that it actually gave me chills 

.. hence the title .. 



I love this shoot ...

... not only because i had a fantastic model like alice who was incredible and inspiring  ....
but the energy infiltrated itself also when editing
 i did not know the pictures would turn out this creative .. 

there is something macabre about the attitude and the mood yet at the same time quite sophisticated
