Mishkin is one of my talented friends in BirdEatsBaby and ‘Serephim‘ is her first solo EP.
She has a unique style created from her fan art which inspired this shoot for her new front cover. The Dove was hired in from Sussex Dove Release with a handler and had VIP treatment, he was so relaxed that he felt free enough to have a toilet moment on our star – who was professional as ever and the excrement only added to the shoot, as she was already covered in fake blood
Shooting wise I had 1 light bounced on the white backdrop. Then 2 x large softboxes opposite each other lighting Mish on either side, no front light, so we had some great gothic modeling lighting on her body. In post, after cleaning the backdrop, I dodged and burned certain areas of her, bringing out the tensed body and making the photograph feel more like a painting.
