Dark Fantasy Photography: Crying Gold

This is still one of my favorite dark fantasy portraits!

I love photographing dark, moody looks.

It’s a great opportunity to play with dramatic makeup and try new things.

I’m looking forward to playing around more with dark fantasy glamour!

It would be a great focus to try in the Blessed Shadows studio.

What’s your favorite theme to photograph?

Is there something you’d love to try?

This stunning horned headdress will remain with me in the studio (it’s my favorite, what can I say?).

This boudoir photoshoot is still one of my favorites.

In other news, I’ve been thinking about getting started on some resources for aspiring self-portrait photographers…

Who would love to learn about self-portrait photography?

There are already some resources here in the blog, but I’d love to put together a book someday.

This regal fantasy collar was perfect for this Boudoir Photoshoot!

What style would you love to see next?

Goth, grudge, or more fairytale?

Faux florals are so essential for a photography studio.

If your set or photoshoot feels a little plain or stale: add florals.

Florals add life to a shoot. Yes, even dead flowers add a special touch.

One of the best things about florals in the photography studio is that they give something for hands to do.

Tired of models not knowing what to do with their hands?

Given them a bouquet of flowers to hold. Let them run their hands through vines. Have them cup petals.

Head out to the thrift store or your local art supply store and grab some florals for your studio!
