Enjoying to be on both sides of the camera, I have long felt that some aspects of photography have a great deal to do with acting or imitating something previously observed.  With the emergence of Alter Ego photography, the element of acting is truly embedded into the images along with a plot, makeup, and post-production editing.  I recently had an Imposed Portrait/Alter Ego Photography session in Delaware, and I am sharing a few of the images below.

For these types of sessions, it helps to start with a good theme and at least 2 good portraits (from the photographer).  In the first portrait, my subject was an urban girl…

For the second pose, my subject transformed into a Haut couture (French for high fashion) model…

I was thankful for simplicity of the background and good planning because this merge was not as difficult to pull off and make it look realistic.

For another one of the ladies at the photo session, she wanted to be a tom boy and then a girly girl…
