Crystal’s Steam Punk Shoot

Using V-Art studio’s wardrobe pieces, we created this steam punk look for Crystal that totally suited her spirit and personality. Shot in natural light at a variety of locations in my community (the fire hall and behind the school) - demonstrating that even the most mundane background might be conducive to a great photo shoot. Plus we had a blast!
