Shannon Purser Instagram – PART ONE: 🩸”Fear and bravery are often one and the same. It either makes you a warrior or a coward. The only difference is the person it resides inside.”🩸 I have been obsessed with fantasy for as long as I can remember. I have so many fond memories of scouring the library for magical books I hadn’t read yet. I would bring my novels to school, to restaurants, everywhere. As I fell in love with movies and games and tv, I spent less time with books. But a few months ago I found the Blood and Ash series from @jennifer_l_armentrout and fell hard and fast. I immediately related to Poppy and her journey to finding herself after years of indoctrination. And, of course, I knew I had to do a cosplay shoot. Shout out to the incredible team who made this shoot possible! Photography: @emackphoto Production: @esodette Makeup: @downtoclownmakeup Hair: @gingerbythesea
