Over a decade ago, before I called Atlanta my home, I was in the city touring various colleges looking at MFA programs to attend. By random happenstance I ended up at a Chuck Palahniuk book signing (or at least I think that was the order of operations anyway) and I met the person who would both become my first friend in Atlanta, and who would eventually be called “Titan”.

Titan is no stranger to this blog. And we are no strangers to working together. However, until today, it’s been FAR too long since that has happened. We last worked together back in 2014 during my “Year of Film”, and for at least the last few years we have both never seemed to be in the same place at the same time. I’m extremely happy that was able to change…and hopefully it won’t be another 6 years before we shoot together again.

Until then, I hope you all enjoy the work we were able to create today.

To see more of Titan, make sure to follow her on Instagram and Twitter (and other fan-based forms of social media).

From her Bio:
Tru Facade is new to the Atlanta burlesque scene and one of the newest members of the CandyBox Revue! Holding a Bachelor’s as a theatre technician, Tru has been working backstage for almost 10 years, helping create the magic of the stage. Finally stepping into the limelight, she’s ready to show off her skills as an entertainer and turn the masses heads. She's a little sweetie with some spice behind her smile, she is Tru Facade.

Tru approached me for a shoot after being recommended by regular clients Désiré and Kali (I found out as well that there is an entire troupe that has also been speaking very highly of me even though I have never worked with them...more on that to come maybe?). Her unique mix of Masculine and Feminine personas are not to be missed.

For being her first official photographic experience, I was happy to be able to make things easy and comfortable for what will be her first of many shooting experiences.

Titan - 2022.
