Let’s Put a Smile on that Face of Yours!

Throwback photo shoot with my personal hero, the photographer Fadi Ismail. I did the make-up and wardrobe design.

I’ve always been fascinated by the Joker. He is the only character who can drive Batman absolutely nuts! His approach and purpose for villainy is also another thing that’s very interesting.

Throughout many comic series, Joker has been given different backstories, different motivations and even different faces (and at some point, even NO face. You know what I mean??). But something is constant in the Joker’s character. Something that has drawn me in- his penchant for chaos.

This shoot, in particular, was actually an attempt at ‘Duela Dent’, also known as ‘Joker’s Daughter’.
Duela is basically an identity chameleon, taking on parentage claims from having Catwoman as her mother, to having The Penguin as her father.
However, as far as I know, Duela Dent is the estranged daughter of Two-Face, Harvey Dent.

The actual shoot turned out to be more Joker-like than Duela-like, so we kind of settled into gender-bending the Joker.

We do hope we gave (some sort of) justice to the character! The Joker is very hard to portray. His craziness is just out of this world.

We hope you enjoyed this photo set!
