Test Shot

I'm not big on behind-the-scenes shots, but I feel like these ladies still retain all of their dignity in the photo below.  And I dig that it shows off her pot belly.  I imagined they ate a lot of swamp creatures, like bullfrogs and snapping turtles.

LOVE these witches. Could picture one them sitting in a corner of a room.

Nice to see them in this format. The pot belly is a lovely touch...I imagine they've just had a delicious feast of newborn babe sauteed in a white wine sauce, topped with lizard tails

I think the reason your props are always so "next level" is that you're so good at capturing realistic posture and anatomical form. It makes all the difference, from a dummy and a prop that looks like it could be alive.
Ps long time, no talk.

great to see you back, man! : )
yeah...I think the singular most important element of static prop haunting is making the prop look like it's at rest for a brief moment...and not frozen in time. Building scarecrows takes that pressure away...

Agree. These three look eerily similar to a trio of great aunts I had, sitting around the kitchen, making something none of us kids had any interest in tasting. Very natural...nonchalant like.

These are some of my favorite props you have made. I love seeing them in this environment. I love how prepared you are, all built and setting up in the summer. Someday I hope to be that prepared.

Side note: I always assumed your “main” or focal point props for each display sat back just off the porch to the right of your door. I never realized you actually rest them on the porch itself. This shot shows just how great a master you are at disguising a scene that your porch completely disappears.
