Abandoned NJ Village - Chantal (2010)

In 2010, as part of a 3 year project to artistically capture an original decaying NJ 19th Century village, I completed my most far ranging shoot with the model Chantal attired in 1800s country girl and 1940s glamour and art nudes among the spring blooms, using two of the Victorian Mansions, grocery store, and blacksmith shops along the river. My goal was to capture some images with models as people of a past era, and then some with the model acting as a "ghost" longing for their past lives, longing to enter their former homes.
