Death and the Maiden/12 Dancing Princesses

The fairy tale: In art and in mythology, there are always stories of beautiful young women going to live with death personified, or with a man who will steal their youth/beauty/money by murdering them. The 12 Dancing Princesses is a story about 12 sisters who dance with death every night in an enchanted subterranean world. They are rescued by a soldier (they are enchanted also and don't realize that they are dancing with death), who follows them one night on the king's orders.

The plan is to have Laura as "the maiden" whom death is pursuing. Her dress is black velvet. Her colors are golds, blacks, and whites. Her symbol is a mask (I have decided that the dance will be a masquerade).  You can see the mask here: http://mysticdream325.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d357p4s

Death will be a male model with a venetian mask (just decided on this last week so now I have to cast the part).

The shoot will take place very early in the morning on November 6th in the circular pavilion (see scouting location post), and I plan on also shooting video.

This particular shoot is my personal favorite, and the one that really inspired the brand.
