I'm excited to share my creative process for a Jessica Rabbit-themed burlesque shoot featuring the talented Minxie Mimieux. To bring this vision to life, I meticulously combined elements of striking styling, dramatic lighting, and a carefully designed set with red curtains to enhance Minxie's stunning presence. By using haze for a spotlight effect and precise lighting modifiers, I aimed to capture the essence of a live stage performance, resulting in captivating and glamorous images.
