“Armed Aphrodite”
A young woman stands bare chested, a cloth draped around her waist, a golden-colored apple in her left hand and a sword in her right. From a Classically themed photoshoot with a friend from college, this image was inspired by a combination of art and myth. The apple identifies the figure as Aphrodite; the sword is inspired by a spear-bearing statue of Aphrodite that I saw at the temple of Asclepious in Greece.
From a photo shoot about this time last year, this post somehow got lost in my drafts folder. To see the rest of the series, or order prints, please check out my portfolio.
