I shot Madam Sophie in July when she passed through Denmark. I knew she had abundant tattoos and was bald, but I wasn’t sure what to do with that.
The challenge with tattoos is either you have to be able to see a substantial part of them if they are prominent, or try to hide them as they will take too much attention,
It was the hiding strategy in the first image, but the picture didn’t work once I started editing it. Looking at her head, I realized it would be perfect for a Halo, and then suddenly, the cat on her leg worked to outline the surreal quality of the image, and now I quite like it.
The second was a more traditional approach and a more fashion-like pose with the sunlight.
