Flashback Friday!

According to the details on the images, this shoot was nearly a year ago! How time does fly. 

This was a group shoot I set up with my fellow university class mates, we had several models come along to Dieselpunk Studios with plenty of rooms to pick from to use as a backdrop. 

This lovely lady is Annie Andrews, I was lucky enough to have the pleasure of photographing her on this day.

She is a vintage enthusiast, so I thought this backdrop fitted her vintage suit pretty well for this more vintage feel shoot.

Throwback Thursday: A Colourful Pin Up

Here is a little look back at one of my favourite shoots I did when I was still at university. This was for my final major project, so I was in my final year and I had gotten the hang of using the studio we had on campus.

When I was looking for models who were willing to be photographed by someone still studying I would trawl through places like Facebook and model sites and message so many people. I came across this lovely lady and I am so glad I did!

Georgina Horne from Fuller Figure Fuller Bust, whose blog has since boomed and she keeps doing amazing photo shoots, everyone needs check it out.

First of 2014 Continued

I am still really happy with the results of my first shoot of 2014. I was lucky to have perfectly still weather for the day giving me amazing light bouncing off the snow.

Here are the rest of the images from the day in the snow with Jenny Chanel.
Jenny worked extremely well in the snow considering we were out for a good while and it was her first time shooting in the snow! You can see in the photos with the purple dress is was starting to get dark and very cold.

Throwback Thursday: Another Steampunk Shoot

Since I haven't managed to do a photo shoot in what seems forever, I am going to post something about an old shoot that I didn't blog about at the time.

     Here is an old shoot I did when I was studying at University in 2012, we did a few outfits and this                  is the Steampunk style images we shot that day rather than my studio pin-up stuff. 

I met the lovely Victoria Plum at a great location that happened to have some ruins from an old church.

I also wanted to say that this blog has got over 10105 views!! Strange to think that even though I am having so much trouble to getting a photo shoot now here in Sweden.

Codex Cosplay

The making of my Codex from The Guild Cosplay!

I am so very pleased with myself that I have managed to make another great prop for a cosplay.

Using just mainly things around the house as well. It shows you don't have to spend a fortune on cosplay.

Codex is from the online tv show The Guild, where they play an massive online multiplayer game, like World Of Warcraft. She and her friends all have avatars they use in the game, and this is the outfit of Codex's avatar. They all wore the outfits from their games in a music video they made called "Do you wanna date my avatar?" You should really watch it on youtube for it, it's great.

Here is what she looks like, played by the lovely Felicia Day:

Here is what i started with for my staff, a paper stencil. 

Then i cut it out in cardboard, and layered the sides.

Then good old fashioned Papier-mâché. 

I made the rings out of some clay stuff i got from a cheap shop.

The sphere i got on eBay for a few pounds. And sprayed it green with some spray paint i found in the garage. 

The staff itself was an old broom handle.

There is a little bit at the bottom of the staff i cut out white plastic tubing for plumbing and glued it to the shape i needed, and glued a rubber bouncy ball into it.

The circle skirt cut out of the fabric.

I got a cheap corset on eBay and covered it with the right colour fabric.

Made a front panel out of craft foam that i used for the Thor armour, i had some left.

I also made the top with this foam, but i didn't take any progress pictures of it, as well as the gauntlets.

The necklace and headband were cheap off eBay with some other craft gems and bits i found to glue to them.

The shoes were again from eBay, with faux leather strips.

Here are the results!

The photos were taken by Jasmine Lilly Photography, she also did the Thor shoot with me previously.

This shoot was done on the windiest day i have ever experienced, so it was really hard to get some without my hair and skirt flying all over the place. And it was freezing! But Jasmine even brought a heat-pad with her for me! If you can excuse my face I think the results are pretty good.
