Off Beat Figure Drawing Sessions

1/22

In the attic of an industrial warehouse.. we walked through a door and into a jewel box of a room draped in red velvet and lit by the warm glow of vintage lamps. Intuitive dance and sound opened the evening.. and we were mused by 4 models and the music of Fake James. Guest photographers Danielle Nicol and Keith Skrastins captured some lovely moments.

session 'Together Apart'

A SE Industrial warehouse bay entry fell away into the glow of a candlelit pathway... down corridors... and into the studio of photographer Ian Hoare. There we gathered at the alter of a beautiful vignette created by artist Rebecca Reid, where our muses Angela and Megan posed. Tethered together by a red rope.. casting a lovely crimson contrast against creamy flesh tones and bohemian layers of fabric and light. Guest musician Todd Stewart serenaded the night.
