The Bird Collector

I wanted to make a Black Milk x Spookbook contest entry wearing my Birds In Paradise BF Bomber Jacket that I had gotten on Black Milk a while ago and thought creating a bird collector look would be ideal concept inspired by the print . I had made a long bird beak mask out of paper mache and painted it green like some of the birds on the jacket. I also decided to wear the wet look black leggings to create a total Black Milk outfit for this costume. To add to my bird collector concept I had gotten some crows at the dollar store and painted them into tropical birds and placed them around the set along with some old bird houses that I had found in my garage. Me and my friend Monica had found a really cool looking abandoned house which was about 20 minutes into the country. The roof on the two story house was collapsing and there was a handmade latter so I climbed up and found this spot. It was really hard to capture a good angle because there wasn't much space to move around. Then it started to rain so we decided to quickly shoot her look indoors before going. We got inspired by her Call of Napoleon Leggings and wanted to do something related to the painting. I had an old frame that I randomly brought up and she loved the idea so the concept was her coming out of the painting and into reality.
