Model, photographer, and editor is me, Emily Johnson.

*sigh* Where to put these portraits... I usually do the actual make up but then enhance it in photoshop some. But whatever I'm not the only one who hastles with categories.

Anyway, this was something that started with the geisha lip color style and grew. I ended up seeing this person as some sort of spy for some fantasy story that I made up in my head. Something about the white make up always sends me a "mystery" mood. Also, I decided to do white since my last deviation was darker (haha more like completely black). I chose red because it was the color lip stick I had and it also made it seem like the spy was alert and ready for the suprise... whatever that he or she is asigned to. I know. I'm wierd. But when you create photos after midnight you start to lose all boundries of sanity.

Anyway. I'm proud because I proved to myself I could do both dark and light portraits. I'm going to continue to create portraits once I get some new ideas. I'm going to really try to make these portraits different so I'll have to start using colors, which is a whole new challenge in itself because I haven't tried that yet either. Wish me luck.
