The Vampire Set Starring Model: Rob - Photography by Cassone's June 2010 Feature, Part Two

Rob wanted to us both to reach different levels; as he model, and I, photographer, created The Vampire Set. I had never done, let alone, considered doing such a shoot and creating a vibe for the mood of such a dark subject. I usually shoot pretty women, cute fellas, glossed over queens, flowers and pets. Vampires and skulls and leather - OH MY! In creating the sound design for the video slide show, I went even deeper into the mood and feel of the project. Fun, yes; creepy, definitely! Now I know how some horror film directors may feel when they create their little masterpieces. Shot the same day as part one of my June feature, it showed me as a photographer the growth on Rob's part as a performer and model. He has come a long way from when we performed on shows together back in our hometown of Detroit - and he wasn't chopped liver back then either. Always a consummate professional, this time he came with a boatload of ideas all his own and I was delighted to once again be blessed to work with a model with a vision. We certainly pushed each other's proverbial envelopes and went much deeper into an artistic darkness, to proudly bring you The Vampire Set.
