Leading the Dead

Back for Halloween 2017 I shot with Mx Loki, as the body found in the leaves, and Rowan, as Persephone.
I loved the location, both their concepts, and the concepts together.

This set is the double look.

Flour

Another shoot from February 2017, where Mx Loki and I shot a whole lot before they got their hair cut.
This was a shoot they had wanted to do for years, and decided it was time to do it before they no longer had the chance. It was an interesting shoot to do, we got a lot of funny shots where flour and hair exploded all over the place but we also got these amazing shots!

The Pumpkin Lord

Back in October Mx Loki and I attended the Melbourne Gothic & Victorian Picnic.
It was also the first big outing for Mx Loki's ADiT, Vader. So rather than run around and photograph everyone, I decided to just help out Mx Loki and Vader and just enjoy the event. I had much more enjoyable time as I wasn't stressing about getting enough or good photos.
Afterwards we then took Vader and had our first photoshoot with her! We hope she will model a lot more in the future.

Drag you Underneath

Earlier this year, before Mx Loki had their hair cut, we did a whole bunch of shoots utilizing their hair to celebrate before the cut.
One of these shoots was one Mx Loki had been wanting to do for years; a mermaid shoot!

Trekking out into the hot Summer sun, we braved the water to capture this beached deadly mermaid.

Southern Skies

This was the first shoot of 2017.
After watching Moana, Mx Loki was inspired to create a Nyx look, with their hair as the night sky. It was a fun shoot, and helped me break out of my photography slump and play with different lighting and techniques.

Self Portrait Runes: Raido and Fehu

Looking back at my self-portraits, I can see how I've changed. I'm not entirely the same person, so a new self-portrait is needed.

Let The Water Claim Me

I've been a bit slack in posting work. But here's something I shot a little while ago for Tentacle Spine to showcase their Kraken horns.
This was a fun shoot we did in my bathtub, it was a cramped, dangerous (electrics and water), shoot. But I am so happy with the results.

Self Portrait Runes: Fehu

The past couple of months I've had some big changes in my life, and I've been meaning to do another self portrait for it. Once again Fehu is prominent in my life, this time chosen by the runes themselves.
See all of the Self Portrait Runes Series

Fehu: Cattle
Phonetic equivalent: F
Literal Meanings:
Cattle, (Moving) Wealth.
Divination Meanings:
Prosperity, Money, Wealth, Concern with physical and financial needs, Goals, Promotion, Self-esteem
Deity:
Freyr
Analysis:
Fehu is both the day-to-day reality of our lives and the catalyst that awakens us to what lies beyond. It is whatever we think we are seeking, which frequently bears no resemblance to what we will eventually find. It is also our home, for after all our wanderings we will still need to attend to our physical needs and ground ourselves in the simple pleasures of home, family, and good work. -Runestones
Fehu continues to be prominent in my life, continuing for financial assistance but this time also for success with my goals and in my work. I have already seen positive results with my work being accepted in several more publications, and with amazing responses to my Inner; Depression piece (a photo I am really proud of). I have a few projects I want to work on during the summer, which I am so excited for, and I hope Fehu will help guide me to make successful choices and bring out the best in my work.

Inner; Depression

I am excited to reveal this image, it is my favourite photo to date.
This idea had been in my head for a while and then for Uni we were putting together the heart. exhibition and this idea solidified and took form.

Depicting Depression as a physical demon, I really wanted to capture the feeling, or lack of feeling, that those who suffer from depression experience. And Mx Loki added their own perfect interpretation of the illness through their body paint.
I have received such a positive response to this image so far, I am excited to hear your thoughts on this piece.

Lurking Tentacular

Back at the start of the year I shot this set with Mx Loki, and I'm so happy to finally be able to post it.
It was a fun shoot, even though fish were trying to eat Mx Loki and I fell in the water at the end. It is one of those shoots that mark an improvement in my work and I'm really proud of it.

Astral Beginnings

Back at the start of the year I shot three shoots with Mx Loki for Tentacle Spine and their epic horns. You can find the first two at Welcome to the Hell Club and here's the result of the last one, featuring Freshly Spawn horns.

Blood of the Gods

Digging through some folders and finding shoots I haven't posted yet!
I shot this set back in June 2015 for Mx Loki.This shoot was to commemorate them getting their septum pierced and what it symbolized to them as a part of their identity.
Looking back at how I shot this set I realize there are easier ways to do it, but I've learned so much since then.

I Had No Safeword

For my Digital Media assignment at Academy of Design Australia, we were tasked with creating a poster for one of Amnesty International's campaigns.
I chose their anti-torture campaign.The UN Convention against Torture was written only 30 years ago, and Amnesty International was behind the charge to introduce it. But this has not made torture cease to exist. Amnesty International have reported on 141 countries for breaking the Torture Convention; That’s three quarters of the world, and only in the last five years. The biggest problem countries include; Nigeria, Mexico, Phillippines, Uzebekstan, China, and North Korea. Even Australia has been reported on for its detention camps. These cases are not some random person torturing victims, they are by governments and systematic organizations torturing their own people.

Amnesty International is fighting torture by insisting that lawyers be present during interrogations. That doctors are able to examine detainees. That torture-drawn confessions cannot be used in courts. Detainees can see their families. And that anyone involved with inflicting torture is brought to justice.

I'm really happy with the results of this poster, it's exactly what I wanted to achieve.

Foreboding Horoscopes

I have finished the first semester of uni this year, so I can now share the results from my photography assignment: Foreboding Horoscopes.
I wanted to try something new with my photography and editing for this, it's been interesting and I've learned a lot over the semester.
I hope you all enjoy.

Self Portrait Runes: Raido and Fehu

Getting back into doing new self portraits when I'm in a transitional stage. This time I'm working with two runes.

Self Portrait Runes: Fehu

It's been six months since the last self portrait. I've actually been planning this since December/January but haven't been able to photograph it right. But it is still relevant, even more so now.


Fehu: Cattle

Phonetic equivalent: F

Literal Meanings:
Cattle, (Moving) Wealth.

Divination Meanings:
Prosperity, Money, Wealth, Concern with physical and financial needs, Goals, Promotion, Self-esteem

Deity:
Freyr

Analysis:
Fehu is both the day-to-day reality of our lives and the catalyst that awakens us to what lies beyond. It is whatever we think we are seeking, which frequently bears no resemblance to what we will eventually find. It is also our home, for after all our wanderings we will still need to attend to our physical needs and ground ourselves in the simple pleasures of home, family, and good work. -Runestones

I've returned to Fehu for aid with finances. Late last year Eloquent Mx Loki learned that their uni fees were being increased, so I set up a Go Fund Me to help out, and so many of our generous friends helped us out. This year my uni isn't offering scholarships, and whilst I wasn't guaranteed to be granted any, it would have been helpful to pay for my travel to and from uni. Also Mx Loki and I will most likely be moving in the second half of the year, so we're needing to save up money to help with that. It's also why Fehu is important right now; I'm in a transitional phase where I'm mentally ready to move and start a new routine, but I'm still here I still have my studies to worry about and still need to save up extra money for it. So I need to ground myself again in this moment, stop living in the future and live now.

If I Had A Heart

I'm excited to share my project for my Graphics Design class at the Academy of Design Australia. The aim of this project was to create a Record Cover; along with a CD cover/booklet, poster, and t-shirt.
I chose Fever Ray's If I Had A Heart, I really love her music, and her lyrics are so quirky. I combined this with my current trend of Runes, by using Mannaz, meaning mankind.

Ragnarök

I'm excited to share my big project for my photography class at the Academy of Design Australia. The aim of this project was to create a portfolio, consisting of ten images, featuring tableau vivant portraiture, and still life photography.
It's currently the biggest project I've done to date, it involved five separate shoots; some on location, some in a set I made, costuming, prosthetics and special effects. But I really enjoyed creating this, and I can't thank those who were involved enough.
