Ivory Flame – Inspired by Berthe Morisot © 2021 Patty Hankins
This is one of a series of photographs inspired by the Impressionist painter Berthe Morisot. When I saw an exhibit of her work a few years ago, I was struck by how she portrayed quite behind the scenes moments in women’s lives – as they cared for their children, prepared for an evening out, played a musical instrument or just sat at their dressing table. Inspired by these paintings, I’m working with models to create photographs showing private moments in women’s lives.
In this photograph, Ivory Flame is spending the evening lost in thought while reading a novel.

Photographs from a remote session with Anoush Anou in late 2020. One of the good things to come out of the pandemic is the ability to work with models at a distance – Anoush was in her home in Ohio, and I was in my basement in Maryland – when these photographs were created!
Inspired by the Kodak Girl

This is one of a series of still life photographs I created with a bunch of flowers from a local flower farm and some vintage gardening tools. In this photo, a gardener has everything she needs to continue to grow beautiful flowers in her garden – her gardening tools, a watering can and a little wooden tote for carrying her tools.
Background textures from The French Kiss Collection and Definitely Dreaming.

Ok – so I’m giving up on trying to organize posts subject. These days, I’m just grouping by season or subject or location.
