Renee Azcra Woodward has a background in all things gothic. Her artistic career started as a model and photographer in the gothic nightclub scene in Philly and DC. She has since grown her career to include fine art, fashion, and wedding photography, but she still takes any opportunity to shoot the darker side of life. She has a particular love of shooting beautiful women and decaying architecture. In this project, Ms. Woodward combines her love for the macabre with her fine art and fashion experience. The backdrops showcased in this exhibit include Eastern State Penitentiary, Alburtis Furnace, Pennhurst Asylum, and La Belle Creolle, an abandoned resort in St. Maarten, to name a few.

Ms. Woodward’s work has been exhibited and published internationally. She has a long working relationship with Honfleur Gallery and is very excited to have the opportunity to work with the organization again through this exhibit.
