The
 Passion
 of
 the
 Snake

I
 had
 been
 planning
 this
 concept
 for
 a

while
  but
  I
  had
  to
  get
  the
  right
  team

to
  pull
  it
  off.
  Surprisingly,
  all
  of
  the

models
  were
  calm
  and
  they
  played

with
  the
  snakes
  while
  geung
  their

makeup
  and
  hair
  done.
  I’d
  say
  some

of
  the
  challenges
  were
  painGng
  the

scales
 individually
 on
 each
 model
 and

trying
 to
 keep
 the
 snake
 in
 place
 while

trying
  to
  capture
  the
  right
  shot.
  The

snakes
  had
  a
  mind
  of
  their
  own
  and

they
 hardly
 stay
 sGll.
 But
 thanks
 to
 the

great
  team
  we
  managed
  to
  create

some
 stunning
 results!
