Decline Studio News  

September 2006

It's quite a large update for September with thirteen new images to share.  I've been lucky enough to have several guest models at my shoots recently including Essex's Estrella Oscura, Yorkshire's Necromantis and Thamiel Kain Gloucester's Deaz and London's Demondaz, Eustacia and Fracture.  This has meant lots of work for me but lots of new images for Declinegothica!  

For this update I have a few images from June's "Unspoken" shoot with Tragic Wrath, Sancia Lux, Necromantis and Thamiel Kain.  These images tell the tale of a incestuous Hillbilly family ruled over by an tyrannical brother called Abdiel or "The Puritan" as he's known to the locals.  Myself and prop maker Paul Smith created sixteen customised dolls for this shoot, which we nailed to a special hand built set in my back garden!  I'll have more to post in Declinegothica's November update but until then, we have "The Puritan" and "The Unspoken".

"Joy Division Two" shoot - July 2006

TL to BR: Sancia Lux, Caelia, Allegrafade, Pheemayl, Dave Charsley, Xero and Lacrimosa.

July was my "Joy Division Two" shoot with Lacrimosa and Caelia from the original shoot, joined this time by Pheemayl, Allegrafade and Xero.  It had been almost a year since I worked with Pheemayl, so it was great to have her with us again.  It was also the first group shoot for Allegrafade who will be joining us as part of the regular Declinegothica team.  She's a beautiful young model and it's fantastic to have her with us!

"The Secrets of Nunhead" shoot - August 2006

TL to BR: Dave Charsley, Estrella Oscura, Fracture, Eustacia and Demondaz.

In August I went down to London to work with four lovely models in Nunhead Cemetery.  I had a brilliant time in the company of Demondaz, Eustacia, Estrella Oscura and Fracture.  Nunhead is an absolutely gorgeous Victorian cemetery and you couldn't ask for a better location, half overgrown and half completely back to nature!  You can expect a large amount of images from this shoot when I next update Declinegothica in November.

"Orphelia" shoot - August 2006

TL to BR: Xero, Sancia Lux, Tattered Alice, Nathan, Allegrafade, Dave charsley and Kamalaya.

Also in August I was reunited with wonderful Declinegothica Principle model; Tattered Alice for our "Ophelia" shoot.  She has been so busy recently, it was suprising she could fit me in!  We had a very classical approach to this shoot with Forest Nymphs, Evil Fairies and enchanted woods.  The team was completed by Kamalaya, Allegrafade, Sancia Lux and Xero. 

The next update to Declinegothica will be in November when I'll be sharing more images from "The Unspoken", "Joy Division Two",  "The Secrets of Nunhead", "Ophelia" and upcoming shoot "Irresponsible Pictures".
