Description Model - (The Inimitable) Rachel Brice

On Friday the 13th of 2005, Rachel Brice invited me into her dressing room to shoot for a few minutes after a show she just finished.

Conditions were nowhere near ideal. I only had my 6.1 MP Digital Rebel, plastic piece-of-shite kit lens, no lighting other than the fluorescent tubes in the ceiling, and an endless stream of people muscling into the dressing room to congratulate/meet her.

But Rachel was very cool, and despite the myriad of distractions, she managed to remain aware that I was trying to photograph her. All throughout the meeting-and-greeting that was happening, she would shoot little glances/poses my way, whenever possible. She is the epitome of the Performing Artist, as a breed.

I was even invited to have sushi with her and her entourage, afterward I walked away from the experience with several photos that (at the time) were the best ones I had taken (by my standards), thus-far. Or at least, the ones I was the happiest with, in my photographic infancy. Either way, it was a pretty damn good day...especially considering it was on a day that has been traditionally associated with bad luck, by the superstitious among us.

So, happy Friday the 13th

Amazing piece. In my non-professional and naive opinion, the piece looks like it had too much postprocessing to be labeled a photograph, so I'm naturally curious how the nonprocessed photograph looks.

I love it too, The whole expression of the picture gives me feeling of something alien,Β something Bulgarian,Β something Slavic and something Indian. It's just a mixture But honestly nothing near belly dancer.Β
