Funny Little Space Creature

Today involved me photographing my bjd to enter Dorset Clothing's Photography competition.
I love bjd photography; it's where I started, and lets me explore new techniques without wasting a model's time. This shoot features Zaoll, a Zaoll 'Luv', wearing top and space leggings by Dorset Clothing.

Packed and Ready to Go

Back in June of 2015 I shot with the gorgeous Eloquent Mx Loki and a bunch of vintage suitcases. I edited the photos and then did nothing with them, which is a shame because Mx Loki is stunning. So I'm pulling them out to show all of you befre they get lost on my external forever!

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.

RP: Ziggy and Algiz

Over the Summer holidays I offered Rune Portrait packages. As a thank-you for doing the rune readings, I had a shoot with the wonderful Ziggy. They were so great, and seemed to ascend; connecting with the rune, during the shoot.

Black Widow

I'm so happy to be able to share these photos with you all.
We shot these back in March in Mad Dame's studio. It was my first time experimenting with colored lighting, and I really love how it turned out. Mx Loki looks stunning, I'm glad these appear in Gorgeous Freaks Magazine, along with a write up on them.

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.

This project has no associate/affiliation with Fever Ray, Rabid Records, or their assigns. It was purely mad for Academic purposes.

Uta

The other night I played around with lighting and photographed Mx Loki's Uta 'Statue Legends' figure. I enjoy still lifes because it allows me to practice lighting and I can use small desk lamps and get really cool results.

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.
