Percolate

Percolate is Jade Vixen's sister. Percolate and Jade couldn't be more different than each other in real life- ironically they often look remarkably similar in my images of them. That probably has more to do with the fact that I like to create personas in my images- many of the people that I photograph are often portrayed as more of a reflection of myself than themselves. Most people that I photograph are typically a little taken aback when they see my images of them (in a good way)- even though they were there for the shoot! They simply are not used to looking at themselves in the way that I portray them. My images are an illusion rather than a mirror. I've photographed Percolate many times, and I typically have created glamorous pictures involving elaborate makeup with her- because she's actually very laid back and doesn't wear makeup. These images are a little closer to her actual personality, but they are still definitely a persona...
