Heidi: How did the idea of the hands come about?
Lacey: I worked closely with Jessica who made the sets with me. She had worked with body painting before and we loved the effect, so geared the shoot towards that.
How was the set actually built?
Just from paper and card. Quite simple but effective.
How much post was involved in this project?
The only shot where we used post was the red hands in the boots, everything else was in camera. We tried to get that for real, as I always try to do, but without cutting the boots it was impossible. So we gave in!
Your work seems to be very surreal, do you study paintings to get your inspiration?
I studied graphic design and typography, so always look to other areas than photography for my inspiration.

Like the red hands and boots, reminds me of my military days : )
Like.
Love the simple set. All these shooters who have previous experience in the graphic artist world really transition well don’t they!
Dramatic effect does not require huge budgets, this is just one more example of that fact.
Creativity knows no boundary.
Do like.
It reminds me a few scenes of the movie La Belle et la Bête by Jean Cocteau in 1946.
