New Photo Exhibition Entitled Purple Moods

ATLANTA - Given a private space, some models will generate art just with their presence. Moods are translated through body language. Looking at the moody images of this photo exhibition make it difficult to believe that this was the first time model Patti Smith had posed nude for an artist or photographer.

"This was all accomplished just a few moments after we had met for the first time," Allio explained. "When we walked in to the location, the light was just right for these photographs. We were able to quickly catch these images before losing the light thanks to the model's trust in my creative instincts and her own confidence and savvy."

The original images were created in December 1999 on color negative film using existing light. The color was selected for mood after the images were scanned.
