Caitlin and I Trash a Dress, or three, at an Abandoned Pig Farm in Westborough MA
About a month ago, I was contacted by an aspiring young model who saw a few of my photos and wanted to shoot together. I was instantly charmed by the enthusiasm that she brought to the table in her very first email to me, and brought up the idea of an abandoned pig farm that was formerly part of an old insane asylum in Westborough, MA. She loved the idea, and upped the ante by offering to bring an old fashioned wedding dress that she’d found at a thrift shop while taking a class on photography.
The shoot was even more fun than I anticipated, with Caitlin exhibiting fearlessness as she walked across glass strewn concrete in her bare feet, crawled onto dusty old spider infested shelves and braved the pitch black basement that was filled with creepy old mattresses and crates. In the process, we were able to shoot three different outfits, in three different abandoned barns, with nary a ghost pig in sight!
