Very beautiful photos, especially the first and second. It is this I imagine a banshee, exactly :)

thank you, I do hope you weren't referring to the spirt's haggish manifestations though ;)

[ex_satyriaz]

No, no, I spoke only about the visual similarity:)

[frozen_amaranth]

*smiles* I was just teasing - a banshee is a wonderful thing to be compare to :)

What I love about these is that in most of them, you notice the clothes first. You show them off beatifully, and I love the way you are drawing attention to the detail in the capelet in the last one without looking as if you're doing it deliberately :)

thank you, that is exactly what I am to do for clothing shoots! In fact you'll often hear me telling the photographer "that's a nice picture but you don't really see the clothes!"

It's certainly a different type of modelling, where you are a compliment to the outfit rather than the other way round, and to know how to pose and use the fabrics of the clothing to show them in their best light without taking the focus away from them, is a skill I constantly try and work on.

It helps that I adore clothes and believe they are an art in themselves so I'm quite happy playing second fiddle to them :)

This shop should sponsor you! :)

Photographically, I think that first picture in particular has the most beautiful light. And that is a most awesome dress.

Effectively they do! My wardrobe pretty much reads like their catalogue! The lady who runs the shop has great taste :)

As for the first one, I agree about the light. That along with the pose and the all black dress gives it a lovely eeriness I think

Can't beat a bit of good old trad goth.

(there's also an awards form in there should you feel like nominating anyone in particular ;)

[frozen_amaranth]

thank you :) Purple and green were the colours I always thought suited me but I becoming quite fond of red these days!
