Was asked by a bride to do a trash the dress... she wants it destroyed, and not a happy occasion, their divorce has just been finalized.
She wants dark and moody... and in the end, ripped to shreds or lit on fire.

:huh

help
I think it'll be fun, she has a really good attitude about it now that it's over, just wants to really make this an event.

    Hmmmm, sounds like an interesting shoot.... wish I could find clients that had money to spend on shoots like that. I would certainly plan to do some moody style shots, evening water/running mascara......:cry the works. And in the end, have it hanging up and let her build like a campfire to burn it while she does some weird dance of freedom while the dress withers and dies into ashes........ne_nau.gif

    I will look forward to seeing the results of whatever you get!

    Have her visit a make up artist for moody makeup, I agree with the running mascara...

    At night, great flash work, a few matches, a fire extinguisher or to and voilà!

    As far as ripping it and keeping her safe... Rip it up first then put her in it, personally, I'd get as close to MJ's "Thriller" video as I could :)

    MU Artist is booked, lots of drama will ensue. Can't wait. I'll definitely be posting results.
    We have a few different spots scouted out. Just looking for extra inspiration. I'm thinking that it would be fun to stage destroying it several different ways.

    I don't think you're going to find the kind of trash the dress ideas she is interested in by googling...or very few and far between...since trashing the dress usually happens after a wedding and there is a bit of delight in trashing the dress. And, what she wants is a sort of I'm done with you, trash the dress anti wedding ceremony...lol.

    You might have to get a bit creative here...

    I look forward to seeing what you come up with. This could be really neat.
    Remember, no one may want you to take pictures, but they all want to see them.
