Afghan Girl

My version of the "Afghan Girl" from the June 1985 cover of Nation Geographic. I used my little sister, Faith as my model. Her green eyes are so striking and beautiful and when I was considering remaking the cover, I immediately thought of her. It's so nice having beautiful siblings when you are a photographer! lol...You save a ton of money on models! =)

I took this photo a long time ago and stumbled across it in my photobucket earlier. I love this photo, not only because it actually does remind me a lot of the photo I modeled it after, but also because it is a beautiful photo of my little sister.

Here is the original photo of "Sharbat Gula" from the National Geographic cover. Those eyes of hers are amazing! 

Living Dead Dolls Project

A preview of my latest project. So far I have turned my favorites from Series 22 into a magazine spread. I wanted to have sort of a "high fashion" feel to it, although it's a bit hard to do with the lack of articulation in the dolls. The series 22 variants were a pleasant surprise this year, so I figured they were a good place to start. As I go on, I will work my way up to my top five favorites of all time, then continue to add my favorites from future series.
