Edit: Despite multiple comments clearly missing the point of this photoshoot, I will not spell it out till the other images are posted. But FYI, through out my modeling and costume making history you will see galleries of photos that tell a story, have a concept behind it. This is one of such.... HINT: My eyes are... bird... like.... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sneak peek of a recent photoshoot with Kevin Stewart and Brian Boling...
..."It shall clasp a sainted maiden whom the angels named Lenore Clasp a rare and radiant maiden, whom the angels named Lenore?" Quoth the raven, "Nevermore."... (By Edgar Allen Poe)

More photos to follow as I get them back from both photographers!
Very nice! But the line is actually From my books surcease of sorrow, sorrow from the lost Lenore For the Rare and Radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore Nameless here Forever more
I like the old-fashioned, Victorian feel of your outfit. It implies a good sense of class and sophistication, while also blending traces of a melancholy attitude with the funeral hat and veil (am I right that it's meant for funerals?). The raven prop is also quite good; very realistic-looking. I applaud the effort you put into making it. On the whole, this is a beautifully Gothic piece, and I'd love to see the finished version. Keep up the good work!
The composition is lovely in the photo and of-course the lighting is amazing, just wish the raven was real, (I did an edit with a real one in place of the fake one, just to see what it would look like, is quite nice). Regardless this is probably one of my favorite photos you've ever put up.
