I really wanted to do a Halloween shoot this year. I love doing horror inspired photoshoots as it is a time to be creative in a way that throughout the rest of the year might seem a bit weird, however at this time of year it is expected and encouraged. Last year I didn't do one at all as I didn't really have the motivation to do a Halloween shoot so this year I did an idea that I had been thinking about for a while.
The idea behind this years shoot was the Edgar Allen Poe poem "The Raven". The beak like look of the plague doctor mask worked well with the feather shawl and could be like a steampunk ravens head. Even though "The Raven" is already a horror inspired poem I felt that the plague doctor mask added an extra element of horror.
I am glad I did this with a bit of spare time before Halloween and really enjoyed this shoot. I hope you like the pictures too and thank you for taking the time to read this.
