Lois and I might get sent to hell for this, but it was worth it! I have been in a much more experimentative mood recently, wanting to try new lighting set ups and camera hacks to achieve a less "polished" feel to some of my images. I had a moodboard of images using this kind of style and Lois immediately pounced on the small number of nun images that were on it,
I had to tell her that I already agreed to do a "slutty nun" shoot with another model (her words, not mine), but I was sure that she wouldn't mind me doing one with Lois as well. A week later that other model got cold feet, concerned about offending others, and Lois was very excited when she found out.
Tbh I am not bothered about offending members of the Christian/Roman Catholic church. I was brought up in a very religious household, and looking back feel I was brainwashed to a degree by a very charismatic minister. Having turned my back on organised religion a long time ago, I feel I have something of a right to have a go at it the best way I know - through my photography!
There will be more from this shoot to come, as well as a post about how I lit and edited these images.
