Piercing Series for Coilhouse

This image is part of an editorial COILHOUSE, the magazine of alternative art and culture that's been my focus for the past half-year along with Zoetica Ebb, Meredith Yayanos and Mildred Von. The theme of this image and others from the series (which will be published in the upcoming magazine) is artistic body piercing. The concept is by Mil, and we've been talking about shooting this picture for a year now.

We've been posting a lot about photography and alt fashion at the Coilhouse blog, so I strongly suggest readers of my LJ subscribe to the Coilhouse RSS Feed or Friend Coilhouse on LJ so that you don't miss a thing. Thank you to everyone who already supports Coilhouse by reaidng, commenting or sending us links.

The amazing team on this:

Art Direction: Mil Von / Mother of London
Makeup: Melanie Manson
Prosthetics: Jenn Rose
Hair: Holly Jones
Model: Scar13

	i adore it! :) are the piercings real? (I only ask because of the credit to prosthetics, I would have assumed they were real otherwise!). Im really looking forward to the print version of coilhouse :) (Reply to this)(Thread)

	oooooh i like, i like! as always, genius colors, i'm a big fan of your palettes. Congrats to you all :) (Reply to this)(Thread)

	This is beautiful, can't wait to see the full series. I do slightly wish they were real piercings, but A/That's just personal preference and B/I understand your reasons for not doing so. It's damn nice to see artistic piercing that isn't 'corset piercings' down someones back. The touches of blue in her hair really make it work for me... (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Very cool image. I didn't notice the piercing at first either. Beautiful! (Reply to this)(Thread)

	The first words that came to mind were, "Holy crap!" About the stunning composition, not the apparent piercing. If you ever visit San Francisco, I would pop for dinner just for this picture alone. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Awesome as always. It makes the whole concept of piercing a lot less grotesque and more elegant. :) (Reply to this)(Thread)

	This is beautiful!!! (Reply to this)(Thread)

	You guys never disappoint, und I'm dead excited about holding a tangible COILHOUSE mag in mee hot little hands. I look forward to reading new posts like little else. Seeing my own name in a few doesn't hurt either, but who doesn't enjoy being a part (no matter how small) of something that matters? (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Lovely and disarming, as always. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	lucylle 2008-04-01 07:59 am UTC (link)
	I was just looking at the picture yesterday on your portfolio website... lovely image and the hints of blue contrasting with the skintones and the background are excellent styling. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Wow! Yeah I think that sums it up...Wow! Post more often Nadya (please.) (Reply to this)(Thread)
