Model: Emily Taylor
Make Up: Brianna Bisson
When I first saw Mariam’s gothic-esk tulle editorial it reminded me a lot of Mandy Brander and Benjamin Shine’s webitorials. I love the creative different uses for Tulle.
Mariam’s clever position of tulle compliments the model and gives puts it firmly in art photography category.
My favourite image by far is the peek-a-boo image where Mariam has used black tulle to contrast Emily’s pale luminous skin and bright green eyes.
