Season of the Witch Portraits | Claire

Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and cauldron bubble.
Fillet of a fenny snake,
In the cauldron boil and bake;
Eye of newt and toe of frog,
Wool of bat and tongue of dog,
Adder's fork and blind-worm's sting,
Lizard's leg and howlet's wing,
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.

Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and cauldron bubble.
Cool it with a baboon's blood,
Then the charm is firm and good.

— William Shakespeare, Macbeth

Finished these witchy portraits just in time for Halloween! Claire and I took these spooky, Halloween-y, witch photos late last October in Louisville— the height of fall foliage in Kentucky. I had an idea to use dry ice and a silver basin to make a witch’s brew, and we used Claire’s vape smoke (lol) for some of the more atmospheric fog/mist/smoke because the dry ice vapor didn’t travel around as much as I hoped it would.
