I am flabbergasted at the brilliance of these pictures.
DreamBoatJanuary 17th, 20133:21 PM
SO SO SO SO SO RAD. The stars and moon and I have to ask if this was inspired by George Melies because it looks EXACTLY like his movies. #7 is scary and perfect and the best thing ever and CHRISSIE RULES.
Chrissie WhiteJanuary 17th, 20133:35 PM
Yes you’re right, the shoot was entirely inspired by George Melies! Clara and I constructed all the props with his work in mind :)
Annie at Cher AmiJanuary 18th, 20131:45 PM
This is what i thought too when i looked at these!I really love his films.
They are incredible photo’s too Chrissie!
pez-darlingJanuary 17th, 20133:28 PM

AdrienneJanuary 17th, 20133:48 PM
This is just too beautiful and dreamy. :)
Chrissie WhiteJanuary 17th, 20133:49 PM
You guys should check out Clara’s work also as we both collaborated on this shoot together: and if anyone is in the Chicago area, hit her up she needs models!! ;)

#2 is GORGEOUS. Btw, who is that beauty with the long dark hair?
JaneLaneJanuary 17th, 20134:07 PM
WOW!!!! 4 and 7 are my favorites!!!
moonflowerJanuary 17th, 20134:13 PM
Especially love the slight awkwardness in picture 4 haha! The whole set reminds me a lot of the smashing pumpkins ‘mellon collie and the infinite sadness” album artwork as well as ‘La Voyage dans la lune. Check them out too! So inspiring
VioletJanuary 17th, 20134:18 PM
Hey Rookie,
Sorry this is out of context but didn’t know how to reach out for a quick and visible call:
Are you going to say anything about Aaron Swartz? I know he’s not a girl but his fight for an open, free internet was so important.
Please consider some kind of tribute and spreading of this legacy.
Love,
V
quirkflowerJanuary 17th, 20134:27 PM
My favorite Eye Candy! So dreamy.
GlitterKittyJanuary 17th, 20134:30 PM
You just made this little ballerina very happy :) So gorgeous and amazing and beautiful and dreamy.
moonchildJanuary 17th, 20134:41 PM
OH MY GODDDD
these are so so fabulous!
I love the shredded fabric in the back! Maybe i should do that for my room…
HollinsCollinsJanuary 17th, 20134:44 PM
WOW yeah this is up at the top of my list of favorite eye candies.
I like 1, 5 and 8…but all of them are fantastic.
And that is so COOL that they’re inspired by George Melies!!! Though all my knowledge of him comes from Hugo :s
SophiiJanuary 17th, 20134:46 PM
This is so beautiful. Definitely one of my favourite ever eye candies <3
AuroraOJanuary 17th, 20134:49 PM
This is absolutely beautiful and perfect! My favorite-ever Eye Candy. Amazing. <3

FAVORITE ROOKIE SHOOT!
Amazing, love the theme, love the costumes, love the art of all the photographs: like all the people were part of one big art piece.
Fantastic!
sophiethewitchJanuary 17th, 20136:08 PM
It has this interesting effect of being like a photoshoot of a photoshoot… the cardboard stars especially give the impression that you’re on a set of some kind. But then also in it, in a surreal way. The acting is evident, like the illusion draws attention to itself and to the fact that it’s an illusion, which isn’t usually considered a good thing, but here it’s magic. Definately my favorite.
MarianJanuary 17th, 20136:19 PM
These are so beautiful and inspiring
3LL3NHJanuary 17th, 20136:55 PM
This is wonderful. I love the dancing… Rookie should consider doing a dance theme in the future. Mythology and Religion have been enjoyable, but dance would be heaven.
Again, beautiful- I love the sets and colours (they make me think, a little bit, of Hugo).
AvivaJanuary 17th, 20136:56 PM
Wow. This is my new favorite eye candy!
Roz G.January 17th, 20137:25 PM

llamalinaJanuary 17th, 20138:53 PM
oh, wow, these are so so dreamy and beautiful. i love #1, 3, 5, and 8. #7 is slightly terrifying, but still gorgeous.
LilySewJanuary 17th, 20139:17 PM
I swear these Eye Candy shoots just get better and better! I looooove the way these tell a story, but retain the whimsical style. Wonderful!
NellJanuary 17th, 20139:36 PM

Isabelle97January 18th, 201310:59 AM
Love this ^^ but who is that creepy guy in #6? He reminds me somewhat of the medieval plague doctors with their bird-masks…
Chrissie WhiteJanuary 18th, 20132:56 PM

Mary the freakJanuary 18th, 201311:08 AM

wanderluster66January 18th, 20136:41 PM
This reminds me so much of the silent film scenes in Hugo, which I absolutely adore. So beautiful and simple, too!!!!! <3
katharineJanuary 18th, 20139:36 PM
They’re all so pretty… I need more space in my life. Also more sparkles…
