Photoshoot: Celeste Hidalgo (2019)

CELESTE HIDALGO

we started this shoot as a fun experiment, this time i merged some room components into the original photos, try to identify the fake objects, lol.

I always liked the visuals of witchy stuff, but I also like clean overexposed images, so.

so happy with the result of this experiment, heavily AHS inspired, it was fun and painful at the same time, last one is progress of the set build up in 3D to get what I had in mind, it took countless hours😰

Tarot cards where made and printed with the amazing work of other artists, the one featured here is by Ignacio Cobo, (full list on my behance), the Ouija board I made myself painting over an old tiny one.

and lastly thank you Celeste for being so patient, this one took a while.

ps. i have no clue how tarot cards are “used” sorry 😐

This shoot is about changing the perspective of dark and moody occult images into a more lightened up and modernistic approach while still utilizing the key aspects of the witch culture.

Final Renders took a huge amount of time, maybe because of the 7k resolution of my camera, I wanted to match that, but in retrospect I think it was overkill.

Tarot Cards Design was made by Ignacio Cobo unfortunately at the time of this project he hadn’t finished all of the cards, so I had to improvise some of the cards and print them myself, I took some images from other talented artists:
Mio Im
Erike Miranda
Rhona Olive
Alessandro Amoruso
