A Gentleman Discovers a Doll – P365 Dec10

Annie, a friend of mine, is talented with a needle and thread, and has made a number of outfits for herself. She had just finished modifying a dress she found in an op-shop, and had an idea for a themed photo shoot: A Gentleman Discovers a Doll. We chose Melbourne Uni for the location, as she is a student there and knows it well. Her friend Alex played the role of the gentleman. With a vague story in mind, and the locations on hand, we worked together to come up with ideas for photos to tell the story. This was my first time using flash as the primary source of light on a photo shoot of any significant size, so it was very much a learning experience for me. We all enjoyed ourselves and are very happy with the results. Following are the photos Annie chose to tell the story, and the words she composed to go along with them. At the bottom is the full shoot. Models: Annie and Alex.
Here is the best photos from the shoot: Annie posted these photos to her journal, where she has received many comments.
