cemetery photoshoot

[Kerensa Hayes]

      Hi!  I had an idea to do a shoot in a cemetery for my late friend; I have the costume and a possible location.  What I want to know is what kind of poses I could do, and I'm not sure what to do with my hair or makeup. 

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thank you!

You might want to take your inspiration from the statues found in the cemetery.  Here is a link to Richard Wang's pictures of the Angels of Colma.  He and I together, with the amazing Miss Scarlett Black, also did what came to be known as the Creepy Doll Shoot that turned out quite nice. Neither is really pinup, but I imagine doing this idea as a WWII look might be perfect.

--Best of luck to you!

These are really great! Thanks so much. I'll keep them in mind and come up with a plan; maybe i can find a nice veiled big black hat to go with the dress!

I have a few cemeteries in my area; a friend came up with the idea that I should pose with her urn --- unfortunately it's out of our reach. Would've been nice to pose with her in spirit; she always loved doing that. I'll look around at the places, find the perfect spots.

That hat started out as a ghastly 80's wedding hat.  A bottle of fabric spray and several yards of black tulle later...
