These stunning portraits are by Shannon Bonatakis. Her work is very stylized and emotionally charged, often inspired by her own personal and interpersonal experiences. The subjects are very beautiful girls and the story of each is usually autobiographical, giving us a very candid look at a very vulnerable creator. I love the elegance of each subject, their beauty reminds me of Barbie and the Corpse Bride combined. And that makes for one elegant hot mess. Fierce!
