Description I was granted 15 minutes with the incredibly amazing, and talented Emilie Autumn last year on her stop in Vancouver. She posed without question, and even during her free, 'pre-show' time. Such a sweet heart. I showed her a few of the photos after the shoot to rave reviews. She gave me one of the best compliments I have ever recieved from a subject.

Honestly, I didn't then know what to expect from her show, but It was hands down the best show I covered for Abort Magazine in all 2009.

When I first saw Scott's photo "to be or not to be", the first word that came to mind was "WOW". Then closely followed by "Glamorous". And that is exactly what it says on the tin.
Scott's work is very professional- and I hope he doesn't mind me saying that- to the extent of being more commercial than artistic. All his work is good and technically solid as you'd expect to see on any good glossy magazine. But, and there is a big but here, every now and then, he will upload a photo that hits his viewers and watchers back to submission e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/sā€¦ " width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Smile)"/> I don't know if he's doing that on purpose to taunt us mortal souls or that is a side effect of his daily job?? Have a look at his gallery and see some of his work. Then have a look to some of his work like this one and "protester's profile" for example and you'd see what I mean. Now to this photo. I am not a very big fan of pink in general but, this photo is an exception. The costume,the mini piano in the background and even the lighting (or maybe the photoshop filter??) are just so. Every time i look at it, and i am doing this now, my brain keeps drifting to areas that include glamour, west-end, Broadway, musicals, talented people doing their stuff on stages across the globe,everywhere. It is simply magnificent and colourful and evocative. Well done Scott on this one.

no photoshop filter on this, just sharpening, and a healing brush on something off in the black

Thank you so much, very, very kind words, much appreciated!

I was sure that was Emilie Autumn even as I saw this in Thumb view.
I can't say I'm a fan of hers, but she's such a recognizable figure.
Wonderful capture!

I love how you captured the essence of Emilie Autumn in one pic. Of course, there's so much more to show about her, but this is it in a nutshell.
