Decline Studio News  

July 2006

I've had three shoots since my last update.  The first one "Imperfect Creations" introduced Deaz to the team and was the first group shoot to feature male model Xero.  The theme was very cybery and more futuristic to what I'm usually known for.  You can find a portrait of Deaz called "Damaged Divinity" in Gallery Two and a group image of everyone entitled "Messiah Machine".

The following weekend, Essex's Ostrella Oscura came to join in my "Inferno" shoot.  She's doing a lot of modelling at the moment, recently working with both Draken and Beauty in Darkness, so it was a honor to work with her.  The "Inferno" shoot was influenced by Dante's Inferno and you can expect to see images from that shoot in Declinegothica's September update.

June 25th saw a visit from two of Yorkshire's best known models: Thamiel Kain and Necromantis for my "Unspoken" shoot.  The theme for this was the story of three Hill Billy Sisters played by Necromantis, Tragic Wrath and Sancia Lux ruled over by a tyrannical Brother nicknamed "The Puritan".   They'll be plenty of images from this shoot in my September update too.

On May 28th I swapped my role as photographer for one of model and became a murdering Zombie for the day at my friend Spida-X's "Children shouldn't play with Dead Things" shoot.  And what a blood soaked, wonderful day it was too!  Leah Kearney, Tragic Wrath, Sancia Lux, Cythron, Mendees and Caelia were there from my own friends but I also made some new friends in Nottingham's Manniqueen and Berley Girl, Charley, Andy and fellow TOG Ian Biggs.

Between now and September I have my "Joy Division Two" shoot that reunites some of the models from the first meeting with a couple of models that lean more towards the fetish.   I also have a shoot in London with two models I've worked with before and two, I've not yet met professionally.
