The Power of Femininity
From a shoot with the wonderful Jo O’Brien
She was the mastermind behind this image… her body, her artistic direction. I just went “click”! ... oh and a little post prod too!

Paul Louis Vil..., 11 months ago
Thanks so much Lisadee and Cathleen!
Fun stuff like this?
Yep, it is fun… take into consideration it was close to 3am… Jo was freezing… she was also completely covered in grease and muck from crawling around in the upper level of this work station… it’s very satisfying from my perspective as an artist to see the final result and also to work with someone who is open to ideas and has about twenty thousand ideas of her own!! LOL!
Paul Louis Vil..., 11 months ago
Thank you kindly Christine! :D
Dan Cahill, 11 months ago

I love the grungy, gritty feel of this one while it maintains its crispness with the lighting and colors. Great oppositional imagery with the softness of femininity against the the harshness of the environment. Great shot and post processing!!!
