My first Ad Photo assignment for a mock perfume brand, and I went straight for something a little dark. Prop styling with all my mystical tchotchkes.
Inspired by the savior/murderer Giuliana Tofana (depending on who you ask), a 17th-century Italian alchemist and poisoner. She sold a tasteless arsenic-based mixture called Aqua Tofana to women desperate to escape abusive marriages.
Swipe for paintings that helped shape the mood, including two depicting another enchantress favorite, Circe.
