Happy Thoughts

Because Amanda is a hip-hop dancer and choreographer I wanted to shoot her in a pretty gritty location. I might show more of that some other time, but this is a nice poetic little closeup I think where you can't get a sense of the backdrop at all. And why does she look so content? Unfortunately throughout the shoot my camera kept jamming up which was annoying for both of us, and I think right here I was asking Amanda to imagine what it would be like to kill me. You can see how upset that got her.
