Pandora

One of my characters for this Greek Mythology project is Pandora, the first woman created by the Gods. Zeus gave her a gift of a box, but told her never to open it. This box contained all the terrible spirits in the world, and she let them out by sheer curiosity.

The model is one of my oldest and dear friends, Katy Vanderhorst. She is Pandora as to me, she was my first best friend, and therefore, the first woman. Together we have encountered many adventures, and will certainly be experiencing many more.

In this photo shoot we were experimenting with smoke bombs. Despite the bad weather and freezing cold I think we managed to get some good shots. The dress was borrowed from The Little Theatre in Gateshead, and I had my boyfriend help with special effects (lighting the smoke bombs).
