January 2008

Happy new year and welcome to another twelve months of Declinegothica.  My first update of 2008 features images from my "Beautiful Dead" and "Hell Circus" shoots and more images from my solo shoot with lovely model Giselle Bourignon.  It also features images from my trip to last October's Whitby Goth weekend with Thamniel Kain and Lestacia, that are my first attempts at a "Steam Punk" style that you may see more of this year.  

A big thanks to everyone who took the time to write to me over the Christmas period.  It was fantastic to see who was visiting this site and hearing a little about yourselves.  Some of you will be receiving signed prints in the post in January, so I hope you like them!

My last shoot of 2007 was another collaboration with make-up artist; Jenny Gray entitled "Cabaret of the Damned".  The shoot had a burlesque theme and I was influenced by stories of  Nazi whore houses of world war two.  The team of Giselle Bourignon, Alrune (formerly Melanie Morticia) and Chackra was completed by London model Ravenstar, who'd I'd previously worked with last Summer at the Nocturnal magazine shoot.

My next update of Declinegothica will be on March 1st and will feature images from my "Cabaret of the Damned" meet, a very bloody "Gore" shoot and a visit to Nottingham, so see you then!
