Street fashion photography project

Hello!

Lately I haven't had much time to keep my blog dated, it has once again been really busy at the university. I have really loved my new uni so far and the autumn has been great! I had really interesting history of art courses, such as pre-surrealistic postcard course, modern environmental and community art and modern Hongkong art course. I also participated a course of masculinity studies, which was quite interesting. I have also been studying Japanese!

There is still some deadlines to catch up, but I thought that I could share some pictures I recently received. I participated a make-up school and photography school's event where they designed make-up for lolita or visual kei -styled models and then, after some practice with the make-up, styled the models completely and photographer students took some amazing pictures.

My make-up was kind of wild, so the outcome was not very lolita, but it was absolutely artistic and extremely carefully made. They also did my hair, which I kind of love like that. >D

Pictures are taken/edited by Linda Rönnqvist
Hair and make-up Nyoko Candycotton and Iina

Blouse, skirt, headdress, socks: Moi-même-Moitié

The school held an art exhibition, in where the photographers chose three photos of each of their model. Here are my pictures:

Thank you for taking a look at this post. <3

Dear Ophelia

Some time ago we took a photoshoot in Voimala, the museum of mechanics. The theme was supposed to be steampunk, but well... Everyone got a little carried away and we ended up looking quite original.

Photographers:

Jari B. Miettinen

Jari Alanen/Taikakuva

Risto Piiroinen (also did the editing himself)

Re-touch by Inka Timonen

Models:

Sargonnas

and myself :D

If you wish to know where some certain piece of cloth or accessory is from, please ask. :)

The lyrics I used: Abney Park - Dear Ophelia

Please listen to the song while watching the pictures!

So this will be an epic picturespam... Hope you enjoy. :D

Dear Ophelia, I love you dear,

I'm sorry that I haven't been here. 

Dear Ophelia, you know I'm hurt, 

It's been two months since he was laid in the dirt. 

Dear Ophelia I'm sorry that I lied,

I really do mean to make you my bride 

When I get through this all, I'll treat you well, 

I'm sorry I'm making your life a hell. 

Dear Ophelia, your father thinks I'm mad

If the truth be known, I'm think he'd not be glad, 

If my dear Ophelia - we were to wed, 

And I took you to our wedding bed. 

Dear Ophelia I know that he is dead

But what he told me last night lays on me like lead 

In orchard he lay sleeping, that's why he didn't hear 

His brother crept up, and Poured poison in his ear

Thank you so much for watching.

Celebration

To celebrate the International Woman's day AND 50 readers of my blog I decided to make a photo shoot post! This shoot is one of my favorites, everyone had the most amazing look! So I want to share it with you.

So, this shoot is a little older but very epic. The theme was Over the Top!

Pictures/editing by AG.

Models: Serina, Sargonnas, Sweeth, Ewwi, Ayane, Evanee

Also, Sargonnas's doll Crysalia and my Dal Evangeline

There were so many wonderful outfits but I don't mean to make the post too long... Hope you all have had a wonderful day, thank you for taking a look at this post!

Btw... Can't help but:

Strange Gothic Romance

Just close your eyes surrender and fall

I'll take you to a masquerade ball
Let yourself drift off to a place
Where fantasy shares it's darkest embrace

You're going to love it there
My beautiful nightmare
Open your mind let your
Imagination soar

You'll wear your most elaborate gown
Layers of lace cascade to the ground
Raven black hair all tousled and curled
Dressed up in a veil accented with pearls

Under the stars forever we'll dance
Sharing this strange gothic romance

Epicurean

I take the hem of my dress in hand
Above the blazing floor

Let's see a dream

Dancing epicurean
Hold close to me and don't let go
And dance with me like that

So make me dance forever
Forgetting everything
