Description Im Fine, I swear.

This is an abuse awareness campaign done for Shannon Wolf's class project.

Photography, concept, editing : Shannon Wolf www.iamshannonwolf.com
Model: Andrea Baber
Makeup done by: Monik Walmsley

I did this a while ago ! I even remember the date, October 1st. I was so excited that night because the next day... I would be meeting J, in real life, for the first time!!!

After a while I didn't have great lighting (we were sharing the studio with someone else so the lights were ...barely there for me to do makeup) ,Not quite fond of the colour of the fake blood, but I'm blaming the fact I couldnt see what i was doing . But I really liked the hip bruise ! They were happy with the black eye, I wasn't, but if the client is happy, then that's good. (I would have still prefered to be happy myself haha).

Amazing! This is so touching. You might not be happy with all of the make-up, but I think it looks spectacular.

Fantastic work- and such a great cause for the piece. I can't relate to the abuse, but I'm sure a lot of people can, which makes it a very powerful image. Great make up and great concept. well done

Very effective - and good for you (and the concept artist) for raising awareness.

Also well done to the concept artist, this is a very moving piece of art.

Normally I'd cackle evilly at your wonderfully macabre makeup effects, but this piece really touched me. It's just so true... So many victims of abuse just wear a smile to hide what's going on. :/ I guess because they're afraid of retaliation or, for some reason, feel as though it's their fault. :/ It's so sad... but this is a wonderful tribute to a horrible predicament. Well done.

aspi [2011-03-07 08:18:04 +0000 UTC]

very well done, however I think her expression is too "clean", if she was a bit teary, i'd be even more ironic. but the whole concept and the pale mouth smiling is already very bitter to see with the bruises.
good job

Very subtle and realistic make-up work, Mo...
...and my complients to Ms. Wolf's powerful concept as well.
It's a direct concept that really strikes through the heart.
I think it's fantastic that you're supporting a much needed cause.
...and you're working with what looks like some very intelligent indivduals.
Awesome work from everyone!
take care...drive safely

Aww thank you so much Chuck !
Yes, very powerful concept , I was so happy to be part of this ! Felt like I was making bruises for a good cause .

You know Chuck, I'm sure that you've got many sweet ideas, and I believe that we should work together some day, since...we do live in the same town, or close by ^^

remains to be seen...
