This photo is a self portrait. I wanted to explore the possibility of being a dark fantasy princess, however due to my age and weight, I needed to find an idea that I wouldn’t feel silly in. Im=n my childhood, my father always insisted in dressing me in red, so I thought I would go with red tones. I draped fabric over my face beneath the headdress and set up my camera in my bedroom. I set it up using a teddy bear, then sat myself in the frame and triggered the shot using a remote trigger, I liked the mysterious feel of this image.
