entry description
Meghan is a cosplayer, after shooting her as Harley Quinn I asked if she wanted to do something less cosplay, more portraiture/editorial for our next shoot. She was keen to do something “Marilyn” inspired and chose wardrobe based on well-known pictures of the star. On the day we tried out a range of poses copying those of Monroe but just for a split second I caught this one of Meghan looking to the side. It’s as if in that split second, we’re seeing the person beneath the Marilyn disguise, an authentic moment of self-expression impossible to recreate.about the photographer
