burlesque & gels

Recently, I had the opportunity to shoot with an wonderfully fun lady, Meka La Creme.  Using gels has always reminded me of stage lights, and being that Meka is a burlesque dancer, I wanted to embrace that feeling of watching the performing arts (those moody shadows contrasting with bright colors).  Here's a few of our favorites, though the entire set is amazing.

Also, special thank you to my fellow female photographer friend, Cawanua Keeling, for letting us use her studio space to shoot these!
