Meet the Intern

Hey everyone! I’m Kendra Matott. I’m working with Donny and Joseph this summer as their intern. I am a photographer currently studying art and history at the State University of New York at Potsdam. I’ve always been interested in fantasy and I try to incorporate it into my photography. I’m excited to be in Los Angeles for the first time, and even more excited to get to help out with the Time of the Faeries this summer. I’ll be working with TOTF until FaerieWorlds, so maybe I’ll see you there!

My internship began last week at the Modelfest 2009 event in Cloudcroft, New Mexico. It was a great week of never-ending shooting-madness. Joseph and the other photographers who attended got to shoot at some beautiful locations, including White Sands and a waterfall that was quite a hike to get to. The rest of the week was spent doing even more photo shoots, including the Seven Deadly Sins which were a lot of fun. At the end of the week, Joseph went away with 15.5 gigs of photos to sort through. We had a wonderful time and ended up with some great shots. Look for an article about it in Fae Magazine and check out the Modelfest Myspace page at Myspace.com/modelfest_nm.

Another Modern Fairy Photoshoot Done!

We spent an amazing day with Danielle, a beautiful modern day fairy we met at Faerieworlds Festival 2008.  She was so naturally a modern faerie, that we couldn’t help but pull together such a costume for her.  We then took her around town and just let her go buck wild!  We can’t wait to see the final images from this photoshoot.  Danielle, you rock!

Are you coming to Faeriecon?

Meet us at Faeriecon!  Joseph Corsentino, model Elizabeth, and I will be heading off to Faeriecon in Philadelphia, October 10-12.  We’ll be rocking the booth and bringing a whole lot of new and amazing prints.  It is going to be fun!  Want a free ticket for a day pass? If you are an old customer of the TOTF store, just e-mail me at donny@timeofthefaeries.com to get yours free.  If you are not an old customer, just make a purchase and you get one too!  See you there!

Cloudcroft Photoshoots – Behind the Scenes

I can’t even remember how many photoshoots we did in Cloudcroft, NM! These are just some of the behind the scene photos, a quick glimpse into the hard work and side-splittin’ fun that goes into producing a TOTF photo.

Now, if I haven’t mentioned her before, I want to thank you her now: Rhonda Napoleon is a goddess! She not only produced the photoshoots by organizing the models, transportation, housing, food, location, and all the little details, she also helped me style the costumes, did all the make-up, and the hair, all while getting no sleep and working on three other photoshoots as well, with Tracy Cornett and Vicky Visconti and Francine Dufour! Without Rhonda, none of this would be possible. Thank you Rhonda! You are a truly talented and amazing person!

Latest Photoshoot

Joseph Corsentino has been banging out the photoshoots.  His personal deadline to complete Generation 2 of Time of the Faeries is fast approaching!

Here he is hard at work with make-up artist Andrea Dow and model Sin.

Joseph signing at West Hollywood Book Fair
