Celebration Station:Day 14-Joan V


Day 14

Today we visit with alternative model, Joan V.


Joan dropped by to share her steampunk photos with us. When we asked her about her love of modeling for steampunk shoots, this is what she had to say:






"The reasons why I love to shoot Steampunk are : it's FUN, and it's SO flexible , in terms of styling!  You can let your imagination take off when shooting Steampunk themes! Because it's an interesting combination of Victorian elegance , or even whimsy, and also Sci-Fi elements , you can do limitless things when shooting and styling your images.  Let your creativity go with the flow, so to speak!

There are infinite amounts of wardrobing ideas, props, and accessories that can be utilized , and you can create your own story!"
