Dark Nymph-Like Photography

Woodland Spirit by Bret Sano Documents a Dark Witchy Transformation

— October 26, 2012 — Fashion
The photo series titled Woodland Spirit by Bret Sano follows model Kaylin as she transforms from a bright and happy girl into a dark and mysterious forest nymph. As her innocence is slowly stripped away, the sun-drenched, vibrant images because more and more muted until they are completely shot in black and white. Nevertheless, her beauty isn't tarnished, it is simply changed.

Following a rather romantic and mythical theme, the photo series titled Woodland Spirit by Bret Sano, a photographer born in San Antonio, Texas, and based in Dallas, hairstylist Jodie Gilliam and makeup artist Rosie Moreno have fun going from soft and natural to moody and witch-like. Gilliam adds more volume to Kaylin's already crimped hair and twig adornments while Moreno goes from barely-there makeup to dramatic eyes and lips.
