I LOVE THIS SO MUCH
so perfect! i love how it’s like a little story. and that guy is FIIIIIIIIIIIIINE.
Probably one of my favorite photoshoots on Rookie ever !
I actually love this so much. It kind of reminds me of a reversed and strange Heathers in a weird way.
I love the framing in these photographs, with the girls legs and all. It really looks like movie stills! I also like the detailing in 5 where he’s holding a “Ghost Stories” book. Love them :)
Amazing! They look so ‘Heathers’/scary teen slasher flick. I’m in love.
This AMAZING petra. love this so much (: and i love the clothing.
this is perfect.
These are amazing! 4, 7, and 18 are my faves. Love the idea of using the models as a sort of frame. :)
These are amazing!
The boy is gorgeous, and I’m remided of my need for white tights and long white socks.
xo
I LOVE THIS SO MUCH.
WOW THESE ARE INCREDIBLE AND SO DRAMATIC I LOVE THEM SO MUCHASDFGHJKL
Also does Rookie just have a store house somewhere full of beautiful boys to use in photoshoots? If so, could I get the location? ;D
they probably have a binder full of boys.
OMG SUCH A GREAT COMMENT
OMG I AGREE. Actually though, very clever and probably quite factual.
CONGRATS YOU HAVE WON THE INTERNET
hahahahahaha

FLAWLESS COMMENT
The ones in the hallway and lockers were shot at my school in Toronto
And i’m pretty sure the guy in the photos goes to my school
Omg a fellow rookie at rosedale * freaks out* What grade?
Grade 10

Yeah! It so weird seeing all the photos and just thinking woah… that was taken at my school, AMAZING JOB PETRA!! You continue to astound me with your talents :)
These are gorgeous, albeit a little morbid. The fall colors are amazing and I love the angles and focus.
4 and 17 <3
These are like a movie.. I really love it!!!
nice green, orange, yellow, blue…somebody likes Argento

Petra these photos are so cool…and the girls and guy are beautiful. Especially love the last couple with the killing, sinister but awesome.
This is sooooo cool!
I love that these are both gorgeous and sinister at the same time!
LOVE THIS!!!
This shoot is AWESOME
7, 14 & 16 oh my godddd. Petra how are you so damn fabulous?
I’ve never seen ‘The Shining’, but from what I’ve heard, 17-19 make me think of the line, “Come play with us, Johnny. Yeah, come play with us forever and ever.”
Excellent.
yeeesssssssssss this just gets me in the halloween scary spirit
beautiful, i really like the fall colors!!
Haha I love how calm/bored the girls look when they’re disposing of the body A+
probably my fave shoot!
Love 7 and 9

these are fantastic! I love the eerie yet spookily innocent vibe of this series. somewhat heathers-esque.

AMAZING. PHOTOSHOOT. also, oddly reminiscent of heathers?
I think this might just be the most amazing thing I have ever seen! I love the clothes (I’ve been looking for an old cheerleading outfit forever). The story line and photography are too great.

LOVE THESE! So creepy and sinister, yet innocent because it’s high schoolers!

This is hardening back to the early days of Rookie thematically.
THE GOOD OLD DAYS OF ROOKIE
YOU GUYS ARE SO OLD
HARKENING. HARKENING BACK.
I AGREE
These photos are amazing Petra! Their not even just pictures, they’re a story. Like I looked through them all then started back at the beginning and looked at them all again directly after. I want to pick a favorite but I can’t. So good.
xo, Tori
Wow these are great! They are so narrative and capture that horror movie vibe perfectly
Heyyy, my high school mascot was the comets!!
Ces sont fantastique! I saw your preview shot on tumblr and was almost immediately intrigued!
Dear Rookie: more pretty boys like this one pls
oh i love the little story in the photos! scarily sweet <3
Picture 9 is. really. good.
It’s glued to my retina.
that fox boy looks like a brunette river phoenix.
I wish I could tell how perfect those are, but…. I just can’t. <3
Also, Petra? Are you magical?
Awesome shoot Petra! So cool!
ha ha YES!!!
This is so great!!!!
love these photos, they feel very david lynch/heathers-y (:
everything about this is perfect
Number six is hypnotizing.
PETRA YOU’RE AMAZING. The aesthetic of these shots are memorising.
Also, maybe it’s just the fact that Tyneesha and Teshaunna are drop dead gorgeous, but they look so bloody cool in these outfits! (Was going to ask where the skirts are from, but I see they’re American Apparel! Thanks for including that!)
P.S Moar boiz like this pls <3
PETRA!!

I’m in love.
I. LOVE. THIS.
