Wanted

The mug shot concept proved interesting to me. I originally based this idea around the black and white wanted posters of the American 30's and 40's but of course it needed a fresh approach.

So this is no monochrome Whitey Bulger or Machine Gun Kelly. We have never before seen such desirable faces on wanted posters, let alone with such elaborate hair, makeup and tattoos. Most of these are, as I described elsewhere, temporary transfer tattoos. I design these on my computer before printing them in-house. There's no other way for me to get the look I want.

You'd expect her eye makeup to instantly become your focal point but there's so much to see that your eye wanders all over. This is a very good thing.

The lighting was near-perfect. She's beautiful but certainly not innocent and is bound to be on someone's wanted list.
