From the Scoundrelle's Keep website: Scoundrelle’s Keep presents “Athenaeum – A study in fashion “, a showcase featuring Designer Tara Reich and headlining will be Heather Luca of Scoundrelle’s Keep premiering her fall line “Alkali”.
The event was held at The James J. Hill Reference Library in downtown St. Paul. This is the first fashion show that I have both attended and shot at. Friend and fellow photographer, Drayke of PhotoSynthetique was the principle photographer for the event. I was invited to be an extra photographer along with Carla of FairShadow Photography and Nic Abrego.

I count this shoot as one of the best works I've done to date, and I imagine it will likely stay in my top picks for a long time to come. I had worked with Shannon before on another shoot (personal project, not for public) and she and I had talked about getting her in for a Tattoo shoot some day. So when we finally scheduled this shoot, I was excited to see what we could create. Needless to say I was very pleased with the results, as was Shannon.
Shannon's ink is amazing work, particularly her right sleeve. The only "blemish" (if you can call it that) is a wound that damaged part of her tattoo...
