hmm

So despite many of my photos not turning out I'm reasonably happy with the ones that did. I wish some of them weren't so grainy and that they had come out a bit brighter but overall it was not a complete loss. I look at it as a learning experience in that I've learned a little more about lighting (aside from natural light) and about ISO. I'm hoping that the next shoot I do will turn out a little better but in the mean time I hope these shots go over well.
This was a shoot that took a lot more effort than what I typically do and also incorporated something very personal, my religion. I wanted to show the mysterious nature and beauty of wicca that so many people miss due to raging misconceptions in society. I also wanted to add a bit more sensuality to this series of photos as that is slightly out of my comfort zone and required that I push myself.
I'm hoping you all enjoy these photos and I hope to do some more nudes soon.
I'm feeling a bit better today so hopefully the relapse last night was just from doing a 3 hour shoot.
I wish you all the best, xoxo

Blessed Be...

Glad you're better. That was a huge shoot, but it must have been good to offer something so deeply personal, and something for which you gave so much thought! Well done, my friend!

Thanks Cliff! It took a lot of effort but I'm reasonably happy with the results and enjoy the comments from people:)

I think that this is a very interesting series. I have no doubt that it took a bit more personal courage to commit to doing the shots fully nude as you did, but it is a wonderful and natural way to portray the beauty and mystery that are associated with your spiritual beliefs. I hope you continue to "push yourself" to explore the boundaries of your creativity!

Thank you for sharing your honest and intimate approach to something very personal, your religion.

I know its not easy being brave. All I can say is that you have my respect for doing as much work as you did. You are an awesome individual.

Your lines, your form are beautiful. I appreciated how the images showed warmth and your own soul. Thank you for sharing.

Keep it up.
