Primavera de los Muertos

Credits Model: Tia Guzzo Makeup: Jennifer Ruth Hair Styling: Rhi Yee Fashion stylist: Jihan Amer Set decorator: Guen Gianfranchi Photography: Lloyd K. Barnes

This shoot was based on the Mexican holiday Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead), but with a Spring blossom twist. The makeup was inspired by calaveras de azúcar (sugar skulls) that are given as offerings to the dead on November 1.

Here's a video slideshow of the images on YouTube
