Decline Studio News  

May 2007

May's update of Declinegothica is full of images from the first three shoots of 2007.  The black and white "Silence" shoot, the medical horror that is "Crimson Clinic" and the Gothic fantasy of the "Killing Joke" shoot.  As usual I've been working with plenty of new models and in this update you will find images featuring the talents of London's Scarlet Angel, Cheltenhan's Zoe, and Bristol's Twiggy 0.5.  You can also look forward to seeing images from my shoots with Cardiff's Hellypickles, Port Talbot's Wolverina and from London Druidess of Midian, Roswell Ivory and Angel Serenity in July's update.

This month I've added another image to the Wallpaper collection.  This one features Tragic Wrath and Sancia Lux and is from our "Crimson Clinic" shoot of February 2007.  There's two versions available for download, a 1024 X 768 size for large monitors and a smaller 800 X 600 version, for your flat screens and the like.

My first shoot of March saw the lovely Twiggy 0.5 come up from Bristol to work with myself, Lacrimosa, Caelia and Serephine.  I'd seen a lot of her previous work and I was really looking forward to having her in front of my camera.  You can find one of two images featuring Twiggy 0.5 in Gallery Three entitled "Light Eternal".  The "Killing Joke" shoot was influenced by French artist Victoria Frances, a person who's work I admire.  We took several elements that define her images and mixed them up into something new and exciting!

The end of March saw me pay a visit to Cardiff, Wales and my old friend Tattered Alice.  Along with Alice I also had the lovely ladies Hellypickles and Wolverina.  This shoot had a Highway-Women theme and the ladies were dressed up like something from a pantomine!  Cardiff castle made an incredible backdrop and all the spring flowers added to the theme.

April's "Shadowplay" shoot was held in the grounds of London's Nunhead Cememery, a location I used for my "Spirits of Nunhead" shoot the year before.  The  models for this shoot were regular Declinegothica veterans Ebb and Estrella Oscura with southern models Druidess of Midian, Roswell Ivory and Angel Serenity.   The theme was to turn a group of Victorian ladies into sexy man eaters and didn't the girls look fantastic!  I'm looking forward to be sharing lots of images from this shoot in July and hopefully I'll have some behind the scenes video too.
