Title of photograph: Dia 9299 (Semi nude portrait of reality TV star Monica Danger)
Description:
This photo of Dia, as she was known when I photographed her in 2007 in my
Oakland studio, shows her as a beautiful innocent girl, just before she
moved to Hollywood and transformed herself into the VH1 reality show star known as “Monica
Danger”. Within a couple years of this photo being made, she had become an overnight tv celebrity, a young mother, and had her face tattooed. So this serene portrait is likely the last nice image of her, still unsullied by the Hollywood dream factory.

Artist’s signature appears in the lower right front, and the image details, studio label, and model name are written on back. Also written on the back is a unique edition number for each print. (Note: artist logo and copyright info do not appear on the prints, only on the web versions) All prints are custom made in the artist’s studio.
