September 2008

I've had a busy couple of months since my last update.  I've been in the Lake district gathering resource photographs for the "Gothic Fairytale" shoot and in Wales for the Margam charity event.  I'm also busy getting ready for this year's Whitby Goth Weekend, where I'll be shooting at least four times during the festivities.  

In this update of Declinegothica you will find images from my trip to Manchester and the twisted tale of Doctor Mendel's "Circus of Endless Wonder" and June's "Androgyny" shoot with Brighton model Toxicara.  There's also a new image of Chackra and one from the "Seven Deadly Sins" shoot, you can read about below.

Earlier this year, Leicester model Alrune came up with the idea of styling a shoot around the theme of the "Seven Deadly Sins".  Each model had to dress in a individual colour and carry a prop to represent one of the seven Sins.  The whole team was Alrune as "Envy", Aimee L'amour as "Sloth", the wonderful Roze Thorn as "Lust", Satanic Angel as "Wrath", Restless Oblivion as "Greed", Sancia Lux as "Gluttony" and Middlesex model Marvada as "Pride".  My friend Steve Chorley of Avatar photography joined us as second photographer for what turned out to be a great day!

"Seven Deadly Sins" - July 20th 2008

My next update of Declinegothica will be on November 1st and will feature images from my "Gothic Fairytale" shoot with Giselle Bourignon and my "Synthetic Generation" shoot with Restless Oblivion amongst others.  And if anyone's going up to the Whitby Goth Weekend, I'll see you there!
