Another story for 'Ballad Of'featuring Francesca @ Models 1. Styled by Rose Forde, hair and wonderful head peices by Tomihiro Kono and make up by Martina Luisetti.

You my love, Take you a forefinger and cross my mouth, blot my red painted lips.
With that same forefinger touch my forehead and sign the red letter A.
I’m bound, I love you. Your motherland misses you and so do I.
And you my hate... Take take take, I hate you.
You are a psychic Vampire.

  2. Hello Helen,

    Tomihiro is really really very talented. When I have shoot with him 3 times now and every time I am like a kid and a sweetshop looking at his stuff, some have bird heads attached, some are covered in a wax that looks and feels like human skin. Some parts have veins in them. As though they are about to breath on you. I wish that I might be lost in that showroom.

    And thank you Helen for your liking my photographs.

  5. ¿Could be that the murkiness and silence and of the darkroom, give to your work that mistery and mysticism? I think, they do.

    I admire a lot your work, you have my respects.
    Congratulations.

  7. Hey Ellen, this might be a strange way to contact you about this (through a comment) but you responded to my last couple and were very kind. I contribute to and edit for this online magazine bleachonline.com and was hoping I could interview for the next issue. I am a fan of your work (of course, as I am subscribed to your blog) and think you would be a wonderful subject for an interview. If you are interested, e-mail me at tiffanydiane@bleachonline.com

    Thank you, and keep on doing the wonderful things you do.
    Tiffany
