May 2013

Welcome to May's update of Declinegothica and the continuing celebrations around our ten year anniversary!

In this update I have images from my recent "Battle Scars" and "Wild Card" shoots that you can read about below. You'll find eight new images with the fantastic models MisDeed, Li Necro, Near Miss Di Zaster, Phoenix Winters, Bambi, Anansie-Fey, Alrune and Scruffy Kitten.

In March, I met up with Li Necro again, this time with Bambi and MisDeed for a shoot based around warrior women. MisDeed gave us access to her wonderful weapon collection and we had some great fun making the girls look as lethal as possible! I must point out though, no models were harmed during the making of this photoshoot!

For my April shoot, I had the pleasure of shooting Shrewsbury model Scruffy Kitten for the first time, alongside Near Miss Di Zaster, Phoenix Winters and Alrune. We didn't really have a theme for this shoot, so we played with a mixture of high goth, pin-up and futuristic looking cyber. Though a little different to my usual shoots, it was a great afternoon and it was brilliant to get the chance of working with Scruffy Kitten!

I'll be back in July with images from my upcoming "Rebel Yell" shoot!
