Creating Shadows with Ellie Mae

In this photo shoot I thought I'll do to do something a little more abstract with my photography and want to do a portrait series called "Shadows". "Shadows" was inspired shadow puppets. Yes, the same shadow puppets we made as kids using a flash light and our hands. Before we get to the photos here is a little back ground on Ellie Mae.

Ellie Mae's Bio:

Ellie Mae was once a huge nerd, well she still is, but her glory days as the president of the Model United Nations and the captain of the chess team have graduated her to an up-and-coming model. She generally thinks of herself as "a pretty plain girl, who makes an exceptional model", and that the entire thing is a huge cosmic accident, perhaps one of the best. She was born into the world of the arts, and has always has a wide variety of interests. She paints and draws, makes jewlery, writes poetry and songs, plays five instruments, designs and sews clothing, and has danced classically most of her life. Currently she is studying theatre with a performance concentration, with a minor in theoretical physics. One day she hopes to be signed to a well known modeling agency, perform Eponine in the Broadway production of Les Miserables, write a personal memoir, play the saxophone in an indie rock band, and find the Higgs Boson, to name a few of her aspirations.
