End of the Night

More shooting I've done for Tentacle Spine, this time showing off their Faun horns, and pendants.

This shoot was more of a challenge, we ran out of daylight, but figured out how to continue shooting. Which actually resulted in some pretty awesome shots; it's never bad to try different things.

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.

Valkyrie Blood

A couple months ago I got to shoot for Mx Loki's final Makeup assessment for their Cert IV. Their brief was 'Tribal' and they did this kickass Viking/Norse inspired look. We found this really awesome shooting spot (which I'm going to miss because of the move).

The Melbourne Gothic and Victorian Picnic - 2016

Last month saw The Melbourne Gothic & Victorian Picnic return for it's bi-annual event.

I had not attended one of the picnics for a couple years, and was so happy to see how much it had grown. It was a fantastic day, and even though the sun was out the park was black!

My apologies for taking so long to release these photos, a couple were used for one of my university assignments, so they all had to be withheld.

Big thank-you to those who let me take their photo, and to Misery and all the other organizers for hosting a fantastic event!

If you would like to be credited, please let me know which photo and where/how to credit.

Now that my assignments are being submitted, I can finally start posting my work from the past couple of months.

First up, the work I'm proudest of; my Graphics Design assignment. For this assignment we were tasked with creating a magazine, featuring 3 articles (minimum double page spread each), the first on a typographer, the second on our choice, and the third on ourselves.
I've had a lot of fun with this assignment, and I am actually looking to expand upon this over the holidays and create an actual magazine (further details will be released in the upcoming weeks).
But in the meantime, please enjoy.

Day of the Dead

It's Halloween! To celebrate here's a quick Sugar Skull shoot I did earlier this year whilst Mx Loki was studying at their makeup course.

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.
