Two more favourites, I got this effect by putting a screw-on fisheye filter on a 17-85mm lens and zooming in. It ended up really looking the part, I think!

Some details on Sharon’s costume:

The base is a black leotard and leggings which she tried to spraypaint silver, with… mixed success.

The bikini cost €1, and was bought on sale with along with a gold one years ago on the basis that it would come in handy for something. I’m pretty sure this was the first time.

The crown is made from a broken bit of bicycle helmet gaffer-taped to a hair band. I was originally going to photoshop out the tape where it’s visible, but I decided it actually works with the theme.

Ok, so, I have been horribly neglecting this blog now that I’ve finally started using facebook.

Here are some photos from a shoot I did with Sharon in between finishing my masters and starting my PhD. The point of the shoot was to use my 1950s bellows camera, the film from which I still haven’t got developed, for something fun and period-appropriate. So we went for a kitschy sci-fi b-movie style shoot, largely inspired by I Was Kidnapped By Lesbian Pirates From Outer Space!!, but with some Mad Max-y influences creeping in as well. It was a lot of fun! 

These are some highlights, check out the whole shoot here.

I was really pleased with the tree branch covered in little bits of plastic bags we found sticking up out of some rocks, it really looked like a crappy low-budget prop!
