The Alchemists: Welcome to the Asylum

A single car I had seen in a photo inspired this group shoot. I had never been particularly drawn to the Steampunk look or genre, and nothing having to do with it really caught my eye until I came across this one image in a random website scroll. Then within a few minutes I had wardrobe, models, the overall look in my head for this edgy squad. I envisioned a matriarch of sorts (Tammy Kelly) and some 'Men At Arms' flanking her, the gaurds of the group almost, along with a  society of different women, each unique in their own look as well as their outfits.
We shot it over the course of 4 hours with off and on rain. I photoshopped the train in to add some visual authenticity to this conceptual story, and removed anything and everything that looked too modern in the background. I am all about the details!
