I had been thinking of this photo of mine and the relationship between human and nature, and I've been thinking of this genius picture that Miss Aniela did for a while now. Both of these thoughts went into the inspiration for this image. I was really craving a dark fairytale, and this for me solidified what I had in my mind. I love being able to create these types of images as self-portraits so that I can really live in a beautiful nightmare (though sometimes happy I can go back to safe life :P).
The dress was made by Anastasia Every, and my friend KD assisted by providing her lovely hands for this shot.
I've also announced new workshop dates for Los Angeles, Wilmington NC, Boston, Toronto, and Chicago. Dates will be announced in the coming weeks for my international trip to the UK as well as Portland (July/August).
Also, today is the last day to submit to the January contest, theme is rebirth/new beginnings :)

Woah. I can feel those hands reaching into my soul and pulling me inside out. That's just how amazingly dark and sinister this photo is.

I saw this and It reminded me so much of the very first IAMAMIWHOAMI video I thought I had to show you it if you haven't seen it before, you'll love this !! - youtu.be/oPFM3DUVT-8
If you know nothing about her, please try and find a little bit of time today to sit and watch all the videos in order. You must see them as they first appeared on the internet. No one knew what on earth was going on or who the singer / people behind it were for over a whole year. I've been utterly addicted ever since it started. You can read more about it here - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iamamiwhoami I know how much you love magic and nature and nightmare weirdness like me, so I reckon you love them ! ;) xx
