A day at the Met and Midoma photoshoot

Hello everyone!  The last week and weekend have been pretty busy.  Last week Sumie and I went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art and I took a few photos of my favorite armor displays.

The first image really caught my eye because of the metal detail on the horse's armor.  The close-up shows more of the detail especially the dragon-like spine on the rump.

This armor inspired me because of the ornate detail on the chest plates.  The cut-outs in the elbow area are also a really cool element that might look awesome re-interpreted in a jacket or top.

The last armor is from the Tibetan Armor exhibit.  I liked how the waistband was pleated and the straps criss-crossing in the front added texture.  

On Sunday I went to my first photo shoot with Sumie at the Midoma Hair Salon in Manhattan.  It was a great learning experience!  The shoot was inspired by art and writing and the models added some of their talent to the back drop.

This photo was the makeup artist giving our model, Jenny, a touch-up.  She was sporting a corset neck collar!

  This photo showed the hair stylist fixing Hannah's hair.  

My favorite part of the shoot was seeing the whole transformation of the models.  It was a pleasure to work with everyone and even though it lasted all day, it was worth it to see the final photos.
