The Dreamcatcher - Fashionshoot

If dreams are destined to be caught, why are they uncatchable? If dreams are destined to come true, why are they remained bubbles?

In a far away land of my own fantasy, a girl with a young heart falls deep in her world of delusion. Time passes through many nights and days but she remains forgettable. And in the middle of the utmost loneliness, she told herself 'Dear God, though time and loneliness may kill my soul and corrupt my peace, allow me to continue dreaming. Like a prayer I will keep on catching my dreams, a place where my one and only hope of happiness is placed.'

Epilog: Born as a natural daydreamer, I always direct my interests to anything related to dream/dreaming. The idea started from two months ago, I was inspired and amazed by a bohemian fashionshoot done by a very young and talented stylist named Phuong Thao. She won the judges' prize in the Be Style Be Stylist competition. And on top of that I always adore bohemian clothing and hippie culture. Putting these two points together, I decided to move forward with my idea and concept. At first I thought the concept should be bright and carefree. However the more I fell deep in thinking about a story, I began to change the mood and tone of this shoot, to be darker and haunting. About the model, I've known Ha for a few years but never have a chance to work with her. Until the moment I was 100% sure about the little haunting story I would present in my shots, I found there would be no one more suitable than her. So this photoshoot is the result of our first collaboration. I'm very satisfied with the outcomes and somehow I feel like I'm still haunted by the loneliness of this concept. (laughing) 

Some of you may think this story is a little bit too dramatic and serious but I found it is very coincident with the Halloween occasion. A story about a girl who was left alone in an imaginary world and she was haunted by the happiness she used to have. It is perfect, isn't it? (laugh out loud)
