Title: The Tooth Fairy

Location: OMS Photo Cincinnati, Ohio  

"This photograph depicts a close-up of the subject, Joey, holding a black Marvis toothbrush between her teeth. Both her upper teeth and the toothbrush are decorated with colorful rhinestones and star-shaped gems for a playful effect. Shot in studio with a beauty dish, the lighting is glowy and even, highlighting the sparkle of the gems as well as the metallic Marvis logo across the toothbrush handle.

The final image is colorful, fun, and a little surreal - taking something as ordinary as a toothbrush and transforming it into something whimsical.

Joey brought the tooth gems with her to the shoot, and I was instantly inspired by the idea that her teeth were so clean they sparkled like gems. We took turns applying them to her teeth and the toothbrush, which made the process highly collaborative. Much of the shoot was filled with laughter - especially since Joey had to keep her mouth open for long stretches or the gems would slip off. What I love about this image is how it mirrors what I admire in Marvis as a brand: taking something standard and elevating it into something unexpected and joyful."
