Tarot & tEA: tHE vEIL bETWEEN


Hosted by me, Captured Chimerism, at LaBelle Cottage, this project brought together photographers and models for an afternoon of creativity, collaboration, and artistic exploration. The event centered on creating intimate, expressive portraits inspired by the atmosphere of tarot, tea, and meaningful human connection, while giving each photographer the freedom to interpret the theme through their own lens. Throughout the session, participants shared ideas, encouraged one another, and created a welcoming environment where everyone could experiment and grow. Every photographer walked away with a unique collection of images despite working with the same models and setting, showcasing how differently each artist sees the world. More than anything, the event celebrated community, creativity, and the magic that happens when talented people gather to make art together.
