Stormtroopers at FanX SLC Comicon 2019

COVID-19 made me wonder something. If the Star Wars universe really did reach into galaxies and planets far, far away, and people/creatures/whatever traveled freely all over the place, did that mean microbes and sicknesses traveled too? And since the uniforms and armor the stormtroopers wore didn't protect against blasters--a primary weapon of their galaxy--could THAT have been the purpose for wearing facemasks at all?? #showerthoughts

May the fourth be with you with these Star Wars character highlights I photographed at Comicon in 2019 before that lovely idea. ;)

And if you're curious, ALL the portraits I captured in the convention hallway can still be found at my online gallery, here: https://wendyhurstportrait.pixieset.com/fanxsaltlakecomicconvention2019/

The Lonely Flower, with Kollene Snow | Salt Lake Conceptual Portrait Photographer

Have you ever been stuck trying think of an idea, and then all of a sudden a tiny, fragile glimpse of something appears? In those moments I just want to grab it and hold on so it can't get away, but if you don't let it breathe, that poor little idea gets squished. I wanted this photo shoot with Kollene Snow to illustrate that idea. Like a lonely flower that blooms, sometimes unexpected ideas lead the way to the next one.

I am no bird | salt lake city utah conceptual portrait photographer

Model: Jesyka Dereta Makeup & Styling: Jesyka Dereta Wardrobe, Prop & Calligraphy: Wendy Hurst Photography: Wendy Hurst Portrait Sometimes when I don't know something, like what to call an image or series, I identify what it's not. Doing so lends inspiration and actually yields titles that resonate with me most often. For this reason a quote from Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte recently stuck in my mind. "I am no bird; no net ensnares me." I also remembered a behind the scenes YouTube video by fashion photographer Joan Allen that I found by accident years ago of a shoot using calligraphy on the skin to add a dimension of edgy elegance. Combine that with a kick I've been on about oversized objects and I knew what I wanted to do. Months ago I draped my dress form, Maggie, with yards of purple cloth I picked up secondhand for a different photo shoot. The shoot turned out okay but didn't fully captured the potential I saw in that &quo
