Another Brooke for my collection (both my husband and my bff since fourth grade are named Brooke). Brooke Shaden works in digital photography creating fictive worlds with models and props. I found her on flickr while looking for tableau. She has done some levitation photography and recently hosted a couple of workshops. She just had a show in September of her recent series Ophelia which is beautiful, but I like some of her earlier work more. In that series she re-examines the heroine Ophelia through a filter of her experiences. There are 10 images in that series.
I watched an interview she did on youtube and was impressed to learn that she has been doing photography for about a year. She has a love of storytelling and began in film, but moved on to photography after graduating film school in 2008. She works in photoshop and attempts to add a painterly feel to her images. She shoots on location and underwater. The majority of her work is somber but she recently added a red riding hood piece to her flickr stream that I love.
