I honestly can't really tell you anything about this other than it's for a book cover. I can't say the project it's for nor the models name. Sorry to be so mysterious! I'll say something when I can.

Jared Axelrod made the prop for this shoot. I can say that. Way to go, Jared Axelrod!

A sample from last night's shoot. Only about five more to edit from this one, though personally, I think I might end up liking this one best anyway.

This may end up on the cover of a book - we'll have to see what the author says. I really like doing book covers, but I don't think I'm ever going to put myself on the cover again - that was a great experience, no doubt, but managing all the elements of what needs to go into a cover while being the model isn't easy. A great experience, sure, but not an easy one. It's much less stressful to work with a fantastic model (see above) and get exactly what I want in fewer shots.

More book cover work to come!

Thanks to Tim and Jennifer Rodgers for the lighting assist!

Thank you to Rae for modeling. She really understood the character that I was going for from minute one, which was fantastic. I love her facial expressions for this shoot.
