Photo shoot inspired by Herb Ritts

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">One of my biggest influences is the photography by Herb Ritts. It's iconic, it's edgy, and it's powerful. His use of black and white is so striking as well as his composition. After browsing through I set up my lights, grabbed my remote trigger and took these.  The necklace is one of my creations made out of vintage typewriter parts, vintage erector set from the 1930's, and a beautiful vintage button I found at an antique shop.  The netting fascinator is by Luke Song and is available in black as well as many different colors in my <a href="http://lilacpop.etsy.com/">etsy</a> shop.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
