I called Hayley Westenra’s collection ‘A Light Among Them’ to add to the theme that each of the Celtic Woman bring something different to add among them. With Lisa Kelly it was the image of a Rose, with Hayley, it is a bright light of beauty. Her look has such a purity to it that was so easy to capture. Yet another amazing Celtic Woman!
I called Lisa Kelly’s collection ‘A Rose Among Them’. I mean no disrespect for the beauty of all the Celtic Woman, but to me Lisa is the one that stood out. Watching them perform for the first time was really quite an experience, but after awhile I found myself waiting for the songs where she took the lead. Its always been my intention to create a collection of her. She makes it easy to capture such pure grace and beauty.
I called Carrie's collection 'Shades Of Beauty' to describe not only how I saw her beauty, but of how that beauty can also portrait a real sense of mood and color coming from within her. She can be very soft or intense or both when she performs, this collection would have to be much bigger to convey all of what she shows of her soul when she sings.
For this new Bianca Ryan collection I wanted to treat her more like the true artist she is. As usual, I don’t really have a collection named until I start working with the images. As this collection unfolded it was clear that what I was capturing were moments when Bianca is losing herself in the music. Like a true artist, she was ‘Lost In The Moment’.
I thought 'On The Rise' was a great title for this collection of Taylor Swift. She has so many looks to her and all of them seem to have this sense of an artist who has just begun to show us all that is within her. Almost letting us get a sneak peek of what's to come as she continues on her rise. These images are really my attempt to capture those looks.
Avril Lavigne was among the first artists I thought about adding to the gallery. Ever since I heard the song “I’m With You”, I knew she belonged musically and vocally, but when I saw pictures of her for the first time she really struck me as having a different look about her. I named the collection “It’s A Girl Thing” because the beautiful girl she really is often comes shining through and betrays her tougher image. To me anyway...
So is Mariah Carey a living legend? In many ways I think so. There's no question that her voice is legendary. Right from the start I never met anyone who didn't think she was an incredible singer. So what makes her a legend? Maybe her longevity, maybe her place in pop culture all these years, or maybe just her voice. Whatever it is, Mariah along with almost everyone currently and to be featured in this gallery could be too. In my opinion - Nick
