Description

Every year I try to make at least one editorial with Autumn and Halloween in mind. Halloween is my favorite holiday, because I love the dark and eerie tones that this season brings to my work. This editorial is named "Lenore," after Edgar Allan Poe's ill-fated young lover in "The Raven." I always imagine Lenore as a sweet, young bride, who becomes, after her death, a dark memory for the narrator of the poem, a painful reminder of the love he's lost. The transition throughout the poem is something I wanted to capture in the series as a whole, as she eventually turns, in his mind, into the Raven itself, dark, twisted, and haunting and nothing like the once beautiful memory of his youthful bride.

haha they're not curtains, it's a hand-painted backdrop. This whole series was shot on it, because that's what I painted it for
