For what was supposed to be my submissions for the Damned 13 Exhibition this year (which got cancelled due to Covid-19), I had these images floating around in my head that needed to be photographed. Having wanted to work with the beautiful Sugar Monroe in some capacity, especially in a way that challenged her physically, I immediately reached out to her. I cannot express enough how honored I am that she said yes!
The beautiful, dark, emotional results follow. So even though Damned 13 won’t be taking place this year, I offer you My Dark Ophelia.
