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.
