Kip's Vampire Shoot

It started as a thought, an observation, a comment. I told Theo that I thought Shannon, who's picture I took at the Mt. Airy group shoot, might look good in fangs. He agreed, she was into it, and thus the seed took hold.
That was about the same time that CincinnatiDaddy saw my portfolio, and contacted me to let me know about his studio... a 100 year-old paint factory. The snowball started to gather momentum.
Soon, I had offers of all sorts of people who wanted to contribute to the shoot. I had offers of ceremonial knives, candelabras, and even caskets. I even had about 30 models who wanted to take part... My mind began to race.
What I wanted most was to take my pictures to the next level. I wanted to take pictures that could easily have come from the pages of a magazine. I wanted pictures that told a story. But what stories?
What if there was an ad for garlic? How many people have vapires on-hand to make a garlic ad?
I thought about movie posters. Some of them depict dramatic scenes from the movie.
Sometimes, the vampires get the upper hand...
Of course not every heroine would be scared by an approaching vampire. Some might live for that moment...
Sometimes a vampire just wants to hang out...
...or just wants to get away from it all...
And sometimes, a vampire just wants a nice portrait...
But regardless of whether you're alive or un-dead, when your life depends on your teeth, trust your teeth to Crest!
