As soon as I met Willow I knew I wanted to shoot something with her. This collaboration with Willow was a three-way collaboration between Willow, Luca Calo (Makeup Artist) and me. The range of images we shot with Willow is so vast and varied.

With every collaboration, I ask the talent to bring their ideas and any visions they have for a photo session, so the origin of the shoot came from Willow's idea of blood and a heart, pardon the pun, but everything sort of flowed from there. ⁠

My goal was to take Willow’s inspiration, as I would the inspiration of any creative director or creative team, and use perspective, color, and light to flesh out the idea. She is a woman of dualities. She is extremely nice soft-spoken, and caring but with a fascination for transgression, gore, and knives, so I let that feed the spirit of the session, a balance between dark and light.
