Lillian : Some studio work and stripped back editing! @caitinkitten reminds me of the most gentle woodland creature...with a crown of wisdom and face forever wet with morning dew. 🌹Such a beautiful human being, and even more radiant in person.

Thank you @daisycode_ca for your studio space and forever assistance- and, of course, your otherworldly, subtle makeup that turns a person into moving art. It is truly incredible, what you are capable of!! Also, thank you @taniabecker for the gravity-defying hair that reminds me of sprites and little fae-beings nestled in the flowerbuds...if you look hard enough. 🌹 @dafioridesign is incredible with her floral styling- and I look up so much to your creativity and passion. Thank you @mychaylo for all of your assistance and hard work with the accompanying video to this shoot (which can be found on my Facebook page)- it is visceral and exquisite, and also covers some BTS from this shoot! And finally, thank you @ferocemagazine for including these images in your beautiful issue.🌹

Lillian : Persephone II// My queen of the underworld @caitinkitten is the truest angel, and it is my honour to capture her image here. Thank you for being the most beautiful muse in heart and mind. ❤️ Helming makeup is the visionary @kelseyannaf , hair is by wizard @taniabecker , and florals are provided by @dafioridesign . This collective floors me with their attention to detail and love for their craft. It is a joy to witness all of you working, and to see everyone bringing their ideas and passions to life! Headpiece by the ever-incredible @agnieszkaosipa ...thank you for your trust and your exceptional talents always. ❤️ Gown by the one and only @fireflypath , and rings by my mega-muse @lorysunartistry ❤️.

Thank the GODS for Persephone! She gave us spring! Very proud to present my first short film -- a five-minute art piece about an ancient Greek mythical girl who has captivated the world for *25 centuries*. Please watch and share! Before Christ and the Roman Republic, ancient peoples believed Persephone's abduction into hell by Hades created winter... and her return to earth for part of the year, spring. To learn more about the myth, check out my blog: http://mychaylocreative.com/who-is-persephone/ Big shout out to Vancouver photographer Lilian Liu for letting me into her creative process to create unique fantastical photographic looks. She brought together an impressive crew, including Seattle-model Caitin Stickels to portray the Queen of the Underworld / Goddess of Spring. Check out Lillian's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lillianliuphotography/ It was my first time shooting and editing a "larger team production" and felt very much like making a little movie. I am now aiming at even larger scripted productions, and hope to be a cinema editor.
