The State Fair of Texas: Personal Project 1/3

It’s State Fair time! My wife, Erin, and I usually go to the Fair together, but I’ve gone three times to the Fair in order to photograph a specific idea. My most recent project was at this year’s Fair, but I’m going to post the previous two projects here first.

The above gallery was photographed in 2007. I wanted to create an album that told a story of two clowns falling in love at the Fair. A makeup artist and friend of mine, Valecia Sarmento, helped me with the project. Alora Scavella and Chandler Davis were the two models for it, and they did a great job. The album won a ‘Distinguished Album’ award at the Texas PPA regional convention the following year.
