The Beauty that is my Life

As a further introduction, I thought I would give you a peek into my life as of now. My wonderful, hectic, chaotic, and entertaining life.

Ben.

My Fiance, the love of my life, my partner in creation and crime. Photographer and Director, he helps me put together fantastic shoots and makes sure everything sparkles just so.

Vorpal Images.

My favorite photo of all time. Leah Ferrell wearing Squeak latex fashions. Makeup and production by myself, Lighting and Direction/Photography by Kenneth Benjamin Reed. This is what we like to do. Creating cinematic photography.


A lighting setup by Ben, before/during our Gasoline Glamour / MF Magazine shoot.


Ben and I on set with Cherry Dollface at Indent Studios. Cherry is wearing clothing by Laura Lee Laroux, I did her makeup and assisted Ben's genius. This is where we set her up for a multiple exposure shot.


Mainly I produce the shoots, and do makeup/styling. I would principally call myself a Producer and Makeup Artist. However, I also assist Ben with lighting when he needs someone to hold something, or other important tasks like that.


Occasionally, I model. Mostly only for Benjamin, as I really only enjoy in depth projects for personal modeling. Also, because I prefer to be behind the camera!


Sometimes the stuff we do is just amazing! This wedding, we got to work with Nicole and Jeremy on their 17th century inspired Rococo wedding!


Steampunk inspired shoot featuring Eirik Aswang, me as the model and stylist.

Makeup Artistry.

I love doing makeup. I love all types. I like working on colorful sets like the one here with Jenjoy, Kevin Russ, Abibat, and Ashley.


The lovely Larissa as shot by Howard Petrella. I think I enjoy working with makeup because you get to accentuate already existent beauty and transform it into different energies. Larissa is lovely and young, so it was wonderful to play with glitter and gold for her eyes.

Art.

I love to Spray Paint. I don't partake in Graffiti however I love using things I've seen and learned from Graffiti Artwork to inspire abstract splatter and drip work.


I enjoy collecting pieces of wood and found objects like records to paint on. I have a thing for painting trees, mainly on chunks of wood left to be waterlogged or shredded.

While a lot of things to injest and images to see, I hope this gives you a bit more insight into who I am as a blogger.
