golden boy

so today i finally met up with my friends camden and jenny. in 2012, we made our first collab in what turned to be...bi-yearly (?) photoshoot projects and other fun things. jenny is a talented makeup artist, and camden is...gorgeous...well you'll see in a bit.

we all go to different colleges, and with them in california and me in virginia, we all swore a vow to never replace each other (glares at camden) and reunite to create more art together.

usually, we actually make a gameplan to what we plan to do for a shoot. but this time, i was completely out of the loop and let them surprise me for a change. and boy, i was surprised.

this surprise led to 1.5 hours of applying gold flakes to camden's eyes and helping jenny apply a gradient of shimmery, gold cream eyeshadow. we had some issues with lighting, but in my opinion, it's a problem that photoshop can solve. i'm still getting used to my "big girl" camera that dad is letting me borrow but it managed some pretty fantastic shots.

but in the end, camden turned into a pretty decadent-looking golden boy. think...godly. hercules? you tell me.
