This is a shoot i did a few months back. It was orginally inspired by the movie/book "Where the Wild Things Are." The model is Erica Morasse (http://www.myspace.com/199586943). I really like how the pictures turned out. My original idea was to narrate in my own words the story that Maurice Sendack tells in Where the Wild Things Are; basically a story of a kid who teeters between adolescence (growing up) and childhood (and all of the personal struggles that come with it). I want to try it again, maybe I can get it better the next time.
I'm starting a new series. It's called "What do Orange County kids look like at night?". Matt was my first model. The first series is very rough, like pretty bad. But it's good because now I know what I have to do next time. I literally taped my camera to my tripod because I lost the attachment piece. Anyways, here's what "OC Matt" looks like at night...
