Examples

Amid the Confusion of Life the Church

First a couple of classic examples.  I am showing the link to avoid any copyright violations.

The first Example is Kentucky Flood by Margaret Bourke-White

The second is Father Duffy in Times Square by Lee Friedlander

A couple of my own.



Here the model chose to wear a party dress to contrast with the grungy neighborhood where we were shooting.  Just a fun shot



The Sacred and the Profane

I made contact with a make up artist (MUA) through Model Mayhem.  She had a friend who needed pictures immediately and wanted to shoot on the grounds of the National Cathedral in Washington DC.  I thought, beautiful model, properly made up in a great setting.  However, the MUA had her friend in goth makeup in a really skanky dress.  We were shooting in the Bishops Garden when I spotted these reliefs.  So I posed her as above to sho that both good and evil coexist in the real world.



I was walking along the street in Vienna when I spotted this.  We live busy, confused lives, but many find religion to helkp cope that confusion
