Asylum Hood studies

This is a quick head study. My designer, Christopher and I came up with this lovely hood for our photo collaboration. He sculpted and hand dyed this leather bondage hood. We have big plans...

My lovely model is Ginger.  Also Christopher made me another breathtaking strappy black leather fetish hood, which I can't help trying it on and snapping a quick shot on my iPhone.
Enjoy!

Vanilla Gallery, Tokyo Japan

I am very excited about this new series. I've booked models all this week and I plan on doing nothing else but shooting.

I will also be releasing some limited edition prints in the upcoming weeks (working as hard for the reopening of my online store).

As it is raining in LA, for those of you who lives here, here's something to brighten up your day :)

The sexy hood and mittens is again designed by the amazing Christopher, whom I'm honored to collaborate with.

Again this is an teaser image, the pieces I will be using for one of my many new series will have oil paint, and other interesting mediums worked into the piece.
