In the attic of an industrial warehouse.. we walked through a door and into a jewel box of a room draped in red velvet and lit by the warm glow of vintage lamps. Intuitive dance and sound opened the evening.. and we were mused by 4 models and the music of Fake James. Guest photographers Danielle Nicol and Keith Skrastins captured some lovely moments.
