We Are Stardust
How much glitter does it take to cover a fish?
That is one question I have never asked myself before, but it came up on this shoot. Does it take two packs of glitter? Three? There wasn’t a Google search for this, surely.
Sometimes you cannot predict how some shoots will start or end. Sometimes things spontaneously reveal themselves to you. That is how it felt this day. Everything fell beautifully into place, and everything happened as it was meant to be for me.
How much glitter does it take to cover a fish?
I loved every element, everything that happened within this shoot. My beautiful friend accepted everything that I asked of her, despite how strange it was. Not too many friends will allow you to hover a fish over their face, with your precarious grip the only thing standing between them and a full face of scales.
But she was incredible, if she was at any time doubtful, there wasn’t one image that revealed that in her expression.
How much glitter does it take to cover a fish?
I found that the answer to this question does vary, depending on how much you laugh while applying the glitter.
We Are Stardust
Fellow creatures of this earth
Come closer to hear the discovery
That humankind has madeThis will cement our bond
As companions of this world
For forever and for longFrom the blackest sea
To the earth’s crust
The discovery is to be
That we are stardustWhat is in you, is in me
The same weary sinew
And the same blood and veins
Great poem.
