Cover for “Dark Passage”



This is the cover image for a historical/fantasy teen novel, by M.J. Putney, set in Regency England. The tunnel is a 4" x 7" x 60" model made from balsa wood, cardboard, spackle and sand, then painted with acrylic. Below are some of the unretouched photos of the tunnel. I photographed it first with a small figurine in place of the live model, so that I could match the lighting as closely as possible when I photographed the live model.
