Misty night

Misty night, oh what a sight
My eyes sharpen like daggers
Piercing
Through the fog like on an open road
But through the shadow, trees and shrubs below
Growing
Under my step, soft, cold and tame
The moss seeps out the rain
Smelling
The black bark, wooden giants
Stand tall, slender, silent
Defiant
Rain trickles down a lonely stone
Cold, wet, forever alone
I sit
Wait
I want to be alone, not lonesome
But with you
Alone

spell.

night.

late night

bright, sad misty light, seeping in, that impending feeling
Lost in thought. fear, isolation, lack of control
A lighthearted smile that once was, engulfed. the dark silhouette of walls, dark, bright light, wait, night

Sirene

A mermaid found a swimming lad
Picked him for her own,
Pressed her body to his body,
Laughed; and plunging down
Forgot in cruel happiness
That even lovers drown.

Tonight's shoot with my good friend Millie.

I made this headress a little while ago, and never got to taking any pictures of it.

 I knew Millie wouldbe perfect for it, and she blew me away.

Triangles for life, death and reincarnation, inspired by Native culture and philosophy.

I have wanted to do a shoot in this style for so long now, to celebrate my Canadian ancestors, as well as art, crafts and culture through photography.

Enjoy.

 

 

 

  

Ladies

So I recently did my first more or less real shoot as the photographer.
I studied photography in Cegep a few years back, but basically dropped out to tattoo full time, it just wasn't very stimulating.
Nevertheless, my passion for photography still maintained its importance in my life, and even more so in the past few months. Last year I bought my first professional camera, a Canon Rebel T3, mostly for my tattoo work, travels and some here and there photos of my face.
I constantly browse through blogs looking for inspirational photos, ideas, themes, and have been feeling pretty inspired. So I rallied up two of my coolest and most gore-geous girlfriends to model for me, none of them have any experience, but they were stoked about getting shot by me, and they did great.

I chose Stef for a more glamourous and pinup styled look, considering her bright red hair, and for Hannah, she inspired me to do something more witchcrafty, and satanic.

They did a great job!!! I am excited to have them model for me again soon.

Enjoy!
