BACKSTAGE | Fine-art shoot 'Oh Ophelia'

1/10/2020

As long as I can remember, I desperately wanted to do a shoot inspired by the famous painting 'Ophelia' (1851, John Everett Millais). When Fien Mertens asked me if I would want to work with her, I immediately saw a potential Ophelia in her. Together with make-up artist Alisa Acx we created our own series of 'Ophelia'. 
I asked around to borrow a long white dress and eventually got it from a friend. The shoot took place at the 21st of september in the early evening. We did the make-up in my living room and I was very relieved that the dress (size xs) was perfect for Fien!

We drove to Blaarmeerssen, a recreation parc in Ghent, and walked around looking for the perfect spot in the water. The first shot I made was this one, where her hair was still dry and floated on the water:

We loved the effect of her hair floating on the water, so we tried to dry her hair again but that didn't really worked... but I also like the wet hair on the rest of the pictures.

    On my blog I write about the process of improving my skills, about grabbing every chance I get to become more experienced and about learning from ups and downs. Besides that, I write about everything that inspires me, like film, photography, paintings and psychology.
