Seance of Skulls

I miss the Triennial exhibition that was at the NGV, so much beautiful art from all over the globe. And the Ron Mueck exhibit Mass was a gorgeous setting.

Mx Loki and I took an opportunity to shoot with these massive skulls.

Prinxe: A Prince with a X

For the second issue of Afflatus I shot with Mx Loki as an androgynous Drag Prince.

We had a lot of fun with this shoot, and got so many photos out of it!

Another Dimension

At the start of the year I got to shoot some beautiful garments by Mark Blake. As soon as I saw this collection I wanted to shoot them, they were absolutely gorgeous.
I teamed up with Mx Loki on makeup, and brought in our 'student' Rowan. The shoot was difficult, with a limited time frame, public walking by, and a 40 degree day. But the team worked so well and we got some amazing shots!

Taste the Rainbow (Blood)

Another shoot from February 2017.

This one featuring Tentacle Spine's (then) new horns; Krampus. It was a technically interesting shoot of figuring out how to light, frame, and pose in the water drain. In the end I found the creating large, looming shadows added the best atmosphere.

The Mythical Markets

Last month the delayed Mythical Markets took place.

It was a really hot day, but the market was lovely; and a much bigger success than people were thinking. I loved seeing all the vendors, especially as it was hand-made items which I hadn't seen before.

I spent the day with Mx Loki and Vader, with Rowan joining us in the afternoon. And we had quick shoots.

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.

Faerie Rade 2018

Yesterday I attended the Faerie Rade.

It's been awhile since I've been to one, but seeing everyone's costumes and creativity has really inspiring. I'm taking a bit of a step back from taking photos at events, preferring to get photos of friends, or mini shoots this year.
So I photographed Eloquent Mx Loki, and Sasha von Plundercat at the rade.

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 Planet of Fire

Working my way through editing and posting my backlog.

This shoot was shot back in February, Mx Loki had been wanting to cosplay Sailor Mars for ages, and with their hair cut imminent we decided to go for it.

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.

Alien Royalty

For my semester 1 Film assignment I made a Kylo Ren fanfilm.
Whilst a lot of it featured Kylo Ren, there were a few seconds with some alien royalty. I loved these looks that Mx Loki created; they always know how to take my ideas and make them 100% better.

Birth of Venus

Back in February, before Mx Loki's hair cut, we did a Birth of Venus inspired shoot.
This was difficult to shoot (and edit) because the rocks were hard for both of us to stand on, and shooting midday in Summer meant a lot of harsh shadows and over exposing the images. But it was a good challenge, resulting in some gorgeous images.

Restless Meditation

For my semester 1 Film assignment I made a Kylo Ren fanfilm. 

Whilst I was focusing on filming, I couldn't help but take some photos of Mx Loki's young Kylo in this gorgeous setting. These have a much softer feel than my usual photography, and feel more cinegraphic; which I love.

Delicious Dessert Demons

Back in August during Kitty Obsidian's trip down to Melbourne, Mx Loki and I had a fun ice cream shoot with her. It was a challenging shoot, as we had a small space to work in, but I'm pleased with the results, and working with this pair is always great.

Achromatic Childhood

Back at the start of the year I shot Mx Loki for a homework piece. We wanted to explore an achromatic look against a bright playground. 

This was one of their first shoots with their short hair.

Latex Love Life Drawing

On Friday I attended Latex Love Life Drawing, hosted by Covert Characters Life Drawing, taking photographs of the night.

I love latex, so it was not only great being able to photograph more of it, but seeing how people interpreted the material into the art styles.

It was a great night, with really friendly people. I definitely recommend going along to one of Covert Characters if you're looking to do some interesting life drawing.

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.

All Men Are Swine

For uni last semester one of my photography assignments was to create a client and photograph for them. This client involved two photoshoots of alternative fashions; the first one involving Gothic fashion. It gave me a chance to shoot Mx Loki in this beautiful gown they wore at this year's M.A.D catwalk.

Harfest

During Supanova I got unwell early on in the day so didn’t take any photos. But I did make sure to get a quick shoot in with Mx Loki before the day started. Can’t wait to shoot this in a better location.
