This set features lovely Las Vegas area Steampunk Mai. After an introduction through I believe the Brass Goggles forum, we had the pleasure of meeting her and her companion Green when we were in the area in Oct/Nov 09. Mai and Green had built her this fantastic set of articulated prop wings, using a Clockwork Coture harness as a base, and I was thrilled to shoot her in them.
We had an absolute blast running around Red Rock Canyon for this shoot. And although Mai is not a professional model of any sort, she was an absolute pleasure to work with. I really truly love shooting members of the steampunk community in their garb and gear. Possibly moreso than I like playing dress-up with models, fun as that is, if only because I don't think enough of them know how really beautiful they are.
Model, styling: Mai
