Tempting Innocence

This is my fifth submission (I did a whole day of shooting for this, so I may as well try my hardest!) to Wacom’s Bring Your Vision to Life Contest. In a way, I was really happy I was able to do just that. I’ve been a Deviantart member for four years and have tried hard to put out work that I feel is good, and even despite not receiving much recognition in those years I’ve still been happy to be a member.

Before I go into an explanation of the photo, I’d first like to thank my wonderful friends/models in this picture, Adrienne B. And Adam A. These are actors I worked with in college productions and who were willing to go out on a hot New Orleans day and do a photo shoot just because I asked.

Makeup, hair, wardrobe styling, location scouting, and photo were all completed by me. The mask is beautifully crafted out of leather and was hand-made by a New Orleans fine leather artist.

I am genuinely proud of the entire series of photos taken for this contest. I hope others feel the same. If you do, please show your appreciation with a favorite or a comment. All of them would be very appreciated.

If you’d like to see my other submissions, please go to my gallery. Thank you!

I’ll keep this description short, unlike the others.



If evil is used as a means to obtain good, does that automatically make the action good? By tempting evil, can we manipulate it? Turn it into something good?

Could she, by tempting him, turn him to her will? Or is she the evil one, while he, infatuated, can do nothing but dog her steps?

I won't give away any more, and let you find your own story. That is my greatest goal.
