New year. I thought a long time about what I would make this year. Two thousand and twelve, 4 numbers, 20 letters. Wow... When I really think about it in this way it doesn't seems that important. But it is ! A new year in my life. I'll 20 this year... I can't believe that. In early may it'll be my "Photography's Birthday" ; 6 years !! That's how it goes. Time's going fast lately and I can know that only watching at my computer's desktop and seeing all the folders full of pictures to edit, upload,... That's great. I've new goals this year concerning photography.

I decided to start a new series even if I don't really know where I'm going with it. But I'm okay with that. Isn't it the most exciting ? Not knowing where you're really going with something ?
It's inspired by an old dolly shot I took a while ago, but it's in human proportions and is directly from a different side of my imagination. I like to have this kind of "parallelism" between old/modern looks !

For the little story, I bought this dress at a thrift store I really like and as I was with my friend, who often pose for me, I asked her to try it to see if it was worth it. I was looking for a dress like that to include in my pictures for a while. It's so soft and pretty. As I'm a boy, I can't use it myself, but it's a pleasure to see my friends in it while they pose and as they like it too... We're all happy with that ! *hahaha*

I recently decided to change Elly a bit... I got her a new wig ! The same haircut as the previous one but in another color. I thought she was too "pale" with the blond wig and so, I choose her a carrot wig ! I'm so happy with the result. I think she looks much more real and alive with this one. Let me know what you think about this change ! I think I'll change the wig again for the blond one if I need, but this one will be her definitive one ! Still from Kemperdolls ! They make the coolest and softest wigs ! ^___^

She's wearing a Nine9style dress, a Cute Doll Shop accessory and a hairband I made by myself ! Also, I tried a new background color and used again some of my favourite dolly props for this ! *O*
I'm so happy on how my dolly style is turning out lately ! :P

I had a photoshoot today, I still need to edit the pictures ! Maybe one tomorrow if I have enough time !

It's weekend now !! So, I just wish you to have fun the next couple of days ! :)

Hey, hey ! I'm finally at home.... Had a LOOOONG and tiring day...
Anyway, here I am, to post a NEW... *drums drums drums* DOLLY PICTURE !

I got the chance to buy a Dark Stars by Aïla's outfit and I'm actually really pleased with it even if on this picture you can only see the headband and the shirt... Also, this is a new porcelain miniature tea set I got for christmas from my grandmother. I'm always blown away by the quality of those ! I know the woman who paint them since I'm like... 4 years old or something. So it's been a long time !

The concept here is to imagine two sisters. One so sweet and the other really egoistic. The egoistic one killed the sweet one to have her with herself as a spirit forever ! That's kind of a love/hate story if you think about it. But well, I'm really happy with this idea actually ! :P

Tomorrow I'm gonna shoot something neeeeeeeeew ! ;D

The first thing I need to write today is this; I'M LATE, SORRY !
It's actually the first time I'm late till the new year of Teleidoscope started... What a shame... Hope it won't happen again. Not even once. Well, here it is anyway ! It's my entry for the theme "Movie star".

Instead of illustrating the big, bright superstar, I decided to choose a more "dark side" of fame. I wanted so much elements in this, such as official prices ceremonies (the outfit), the fact of the ephemera effect (dark -> light). And then more simply I wanted to include THE two things I think represent well movie stars and celebrities in general; glasses & cigarette !
Mixing all that, I decided to make it darker and to illustrate a star on the bad slope (in French the expression is "sur la mauvaise pente"... I don't know if it exists traduced like that in english... If someone know that, I'm curious to know).

I wanted to precise that I don't smoke in real life ! I borrowed this cigarette ! *hahaha*

How's your life right now ? I just feel like I'm accomplishing so many things at the moment. I really like that though ! Maybe I'll need to go to the hairdresser soon...

I've been pretty busy this week... But now it's finally the weekend. I'm so happy about it !

This picture is an happy non-prepared one ! I bought this fabric today with the idea of using it for shooting. I got it for 2$. It's like 1 metre large and 3 metres long ! I've been looking for something like this for a long time because I didn't wanted to spend too much money for it... Here fabris like this are REALLY expensive... Anyway, I hadn't planed to use it so quickly, but I felt like wanting to take a picture and so I imagined a little thing to upload on here ! I spent so much time editing it and to be pleased with the result as much as I liked my basical idea !

Hopefully I'll take more pictures the next couple of days ! Have a nice weekend !
