Behind the scenes: The Last Unicorn

Last weekend I had a shoot with Stine and Tenna. A few days earlier, Tenna had approached Stine and I with the idea of doing a unicorn/lolita shoot. I have been itching to get back into photography and do a shoot in the forest again, so I got on board quickly.

You may remember Stine from some of my previous shoots, eg. Death & the Maiden or Red Riding Hood, she's always been portraying a masculine role, but not this time. Girly makeup, long wig and a beautiful dress transformed her into a most beautiful unicorn :D
It was so amazing to see the transformation.

Tenna had fashioned a horn from barely nothing and it was perfect, so there you go. Creative genius strikes again.

Anyway, as always, the day started off at my place:

Tenna is doing Stine's makeup.

The wig comes on and takes the transformation to a whole new level.

The final additions to the overall look are added.

The first place we shot in was really, really mushy, especially the further away from the original path we got. In fact, we suddenly found ourselves more than ankle-deep in mud. Not the best scenario, but the trees were lovely and all the passers-by seem to think it was all a hoot. 

On safe ground again, my shoes, however, were not in the best state.

Neither were Tenna's. In fact, she threw hers out in the bin right away and walked on (almost) bare feet the rest of the day.

Tenna is being a wonderful assistant, fixing every detail on Stine's outfit, making my job so much easier. Hehe.

Just finished shooting and we're heading back to our stuff.

Stine high on frolic!

It was just such a good day! The second place we shot was absolutely amazing and the weather was so lovely. The sun really came out at the end of the shoot and it was just low enough in the sky to create the light I wanted. It was just one of those days you want to recreate right away :D
