Bravacado! (Ok…I’d be lying if I said I didn’t go through several Avocado puns looking for just the right one). I’ll see myself out now, but before I do let’s talk photos.
I’ve been trying to get this shoot set up with Ava for a few weeks, and I’m happy that everything finally fell into place. I met Ava through my friends over at The Fandom, and after trading Edgar Allen Poe references back in forth I knew that this was going to be something special. We discussed a couple of concepts, and for a hot second, I even tried to work out the logistics of hanging an aerial rig in my studio–
That would have been a terrible idea, but Ava, thinking on her feet, brought her hoop anyway and worked it into some very exciting photos that I am extremely happy with.
Even though this was our first time working together, I sure hope it won’t be the last. Her personality is infectious and more importantly, she is so incredibly easy to work with. I hope ya’ll don’t mind how many photos are in this update, as usual, I got a little trigger happy and ended up with (more than) a few more final images than usual.
“It’s an Ava Cado! Thanks! She is a whimsical performer with a love for all things props. She gets her movement inspiration from liquid, loves to be fluid, and finds beauty in odd shapes. She’s known for her chair acro and aerial performances. While her burlesque, fire, and aerial career only started in 2021, she’s ready to bankrupt more people with a slice of her ava cado toast. is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.”
See more of Ava on Instagram or catch her live at an event if you can.
