Nashville Lifestyles AD

Pick up the February issue of Nashville Lifestyles!  I shot the "Single in the City" feature, showcasing the hottest singles in Nashville. I also got a FULL PAGE AD to do whatever I want! I decided to create something I ABSOLUTELY LOVE!

So here is the ad and the back story:

I grew up with my mother, photographer Eileen Lewis. She had stacks of coffee table books around the house, but I definitely had my favorite and it was Helmut Newton's "White Women". I was (and continue to be) fascinated by his incredible images. I have looked at that particular book over and over and over again, studying each photo, I love, love, love his photographs.

I wanted to create a scene, and capture a moment that stirs emotion in us, a fantasy. 

Below is the Helmut Newton photo that inspired my photo.
