“With courage you will dare to take risks, have the strength to be compassionate, and the wisdom to be humble. Courage is the foundation of integrity.” -mark twain
Last month I had the opportunity to meet and photograph the wonderful + talented @langston_bowen as a knight for his birthday (best way to celebrate yourself, if you ask me!) We wanted to create a look that felt true to his character— soft and beautiful with a poet's heart, yet bold and full of the strength, confidence, and valor of a knight. If you follow Langston at all for any amount of time, you’ll know these are all perfect attributes to not only him as an artist but his heart as well.
Navigating location for this shoot was somewhat tricky as we were mostly confined to the small-ish back yard garden space of an airBB in Philly (which was beautiful! But didn’t 100% fit the vibe for this concept)— but we found a gated off church across the street with one wall available to us, and let me tell you… never underestimate the power of a single stone wall to really transform an image from *every day* to *fantasy*. Also thrilled I finally got to use this men’s tapestry vest I bought years ago… I have a tendency to hoard pretty clothes and never use them, so it was fun to finally see the vest in action.
What do you think, would you fight alongside sir knight Langston in battle?⚔️
