That Sparkle

Description

Pinup model and Pinup Patriette, Miss Lainey Belle,as Marilyn Monroe. When we were shooting together once, I caught a glimpse in Lainey's eye and said..that's Marilyn ! So, we got the dress, had my FABULOUS hair/makeup stylist,Heather Riot, transform her into Marilyn, and set up this shoot on Route 66!
I have studies many photos of Marilyn from her career to get her photos just right and authentic. In her movies, and photos, photographers always played with light and shadows on her face for that sultry look. So, on camera, and in CS4, I had to really play with the shadowing on one side of her face to get the authentic light just right.
