I have chosen 6 negatives from each and made hand pulled photogravure prints

It contains the shrine of St

and an edition of 8 numbered prints and 3 A/P prints

Likely many of you have done life drawing at some point

The idea of vampires was on my mind the February morning I went out photographing with a favorite model friend
