Day 434 of 365 More. Alas poor Yorik, I knew him, Horatio… Started the Halloween party shopping today. Still have to get a costume together. Tricky since the first party I am invited to is tomorrow night. Luckily I have an idea that I think I can put together in one day, but still, I…
Like most of my recent models, I met Laurie on Model Mayhem. I actually saw her as a preppy staff card type for my Tarot Set, but she told me she really wanted to try to be one of the sword cards. The more I talked to her, the more I liked the idea of using her there. She has a very versatile look and that ended up being perfect for the idea of the 3 cards, a reflection of the one suit in another.

I love when i meet a model who is absolutely perfect for a Tarot card idea I have. I was talking to my friend Connie (who posed with her son for the Judgement card) and telling her of my idea for the ten and ace of swords cards. I wanted the cutest, most petite, goth girl I could find holding a broad sword bigger than she was. A minute later, Connie found Ambriella on Model Mayhem (where I’ve gotten several models for this project). I wrote her and she was totally into the idea. More pictures to come of her later, but for now, here are the cards I wanted her for. (the ace is here)

Day 300 of 365 days. Ok, yeah… who has known me for more than like 20 seconds and couldn’t see this one coming. I can’t believe I’ve gotten this far. Half the time, it hardly seems like I’ve been doing this project a month, and the other half the time I can’t remember ever NOT…
When I first saw Brae’s modeling page I knew that she had to be my death card. She had the perfect look for what I had envisioned for it. Exotic, sexy. Reminiscent of Neil Gaiman’s Death, but a little more dangerous. I had the base idea for what i wanted to do in mind when I first wrote her, and I’m pretty happy with how it turned out.
I went back and forth as to how ghostly I wanted to make her. I considered putting tombstones directly behind her so that you could really see right through her, but the ultimately decided that that would ruin a rule I had set for the deck when I first started. Don’t let the background overwhelm the model. It’s something that I really feel about photography in general, actually, which is why I am so fond of the solid black background look.
In any case. 8 Tarot cards done. Only 70 to go. That’s better than 10% I’m on a roll!
I met Brae through Model Mayhem which I joined when I decided to do the whole Tarot Card project thing. When she first wrote me I knew she had the pefect look to be my Death card.
