Description

"On the calm black water where the stars are sleeping
White Ophelia floats like a great lily;
Floats very slowly, lying in her long veils...
- In the far-off woods you can hear them sound the mort.

For more than a thousand years sad Ophelia
Has passed, a white phantom, down the long black river.
For more than a thousand years her sweet madness
Has murmured its ballad to the evening breeze.

The wind kisses her breasts and unfolds in a wreath
Her great veils rising and falling with the waters;
The shivering willows weep on her shoulder,
The rushes lean over her wide, dreaming brow.

The ruffled water-lilies are sighing around her;
At times she rouses, in a slumbering alder,
Some nest from which escapes a small rustle of wings;
- A mysterious anthem falls from the golden stars"

-Arthur Rimbaud


Photographer: D.Wingz

Concept, modeling and post processing: me
bigger size coming soon

stupid me, I did this and left the larger size at my computer at home, so I may have to redo it to get a bigger resolution.


edit: wow, over 1,000 views!! I'm going to try to dig up a bigger resolution of it for prints.

Das ist ein gut Idee.


I have to make a photo manipulation from it also, but I'm not so good at that.

Lovely. Makes me think of Snow White for some reason...only darker.

A little!

I think it's the dark looking hair, the paleness and the lips. it reminded me a bit of a geisha.

I adore this shoot. Your concept was a beautiful choice and was supremely executed. The dark coloured water against her white skin is just perfect and the way the clothing floats in the water... just wonderful. I love the beaded necklace in her hands.

thank you so much.


the only thing that bothers me is that the hands look odd, and its saturation and tone changes from monitor to monitor so I don't know what to put it at. otherwise I'm pretty happy

It was so much fun to do, because it was me modeling, and a classmate of mine trying to be the photographer, the photographers assistant, and a light stand all at once. we art kids are so silly
