We Took Over A Defunct Mansion And Turned It Into A Dark Fairytale

This past weekend, me (photographer Karen Jerzyk) and a team of models, makeups artists, a designer and a florist took over the historical Oliver Bronson House in Hudson, NY. We lugged tons of props, flowers, makeup and wardrobe with us over multiple states to transform the beautiful home into a dark fairytale. We had only four hours to complete eleven elaborate scenes. Enjoy!
