I created a creepy book with eyes and teeth to use for a photoshoot prop!
If you haven’t been around these parts before, I LOVE to make things. In fact, half of my studio is for making. Really making and creating is what fills my cup. So when I decided to start making tons of props to use in the studio, I was all for it!
I started with a small idea of creating a book that was both creepy but super interesting. Personally it gave me like a dark hocus pocus vibe but as I started to show people other things were mentioned. Something about evil dead I believe? I’m not sure, I haven’t see that movie.
The build was fun and I learned a lot from doing it. I ended up making it 2 times because the first one was… bad.
The final though, was chefs kiss.
Once I had it all built I had a friend in to pose with it to create some fun images with the book. We wanted her to look a little dramatic and maybe like she had seen some things in her day. She wore a black cape with a hood and had some darker makeup on.
Since I am a composite photographer, I decided to take one of the images and place her into a little house where she was perhaps practicing or doing some sort of spell. I think the image came out super cool and I love all the little details in it.
If you’d like to see how I put both the image together AND the book itself, check out my youtube channel or peep the videos below :)
