Spring 2012: Orange Blossoms

Soldier: Fame

When Lady Gaga's full commercial for Fame The Fragrance

was released, I was blown away by it all. Every single time

that woman amazes me with her creativity, her tenacity and

perseverance.

One thing that struck my fancy even more was that she also used

masks in the commercial. One particular, the mask that featured perforations

and emulating dripping wax. I had to make it my own. 

I often find that the

ideas that come to me in an instant, that I do not over think and over

analyse, turn out to be the best. This also plays on my previous post that using

a prop for what it's not intended for can bear more fruit than otherwise. 

   This is my take on the mask: - I give you Soldier of Fame

Garden Of Eden Part II

With the realisation that the mask of flowers as a facial

feature didn't quite work, and the impending doom of deeming

the whole photoshoot a failure, I improvised, hoping it would work.

Part II basically explores and explain the art of improv. Props are not

just designed for their purpose, and using it for only its purpose is really

a waste of creativity. I ended up using the flower mask as a neck piece, 

and the result was breath-taking. 

Garden Of Eden Part I

I've always been enamoured by masks. A lot of my

photoshoots reflect that: from conventional masks to 

using wire, sequins and even ribbon. I have always had an identity

I was trying to keep hidden, a personality so passionate

and raw that it crept out every so often. 

Masks always symbolised my own securities, and the

ones I lacked in; my fears and strengths all lied behind

which mask I had on. 

For this photoshoot, I went earthy. I used fresh-cut flowers

out of the garden and strung them together with wool, with the

intention of using it as a mask... Part I will preview the result of

using the mask as intended...

Instagram Figured lol

i finally figured how to upload the instagram photos. it automatically stores copies on my phone, and i recently downloaded the app for blogger. here goes

Instagram Photos

I've recently decided to join Instagram (always felt

the need to, lol) and I've decided to use photos from

the blog as my canvas. So far I have been going at it

and already created 22 versions using Instagram. 

 Here a few I loved...

Spring has arrived

Small people, standing tall

I haven't really figured Instagram out yet lol and by the looks of it

I cannot load the photos onto blog themselves. Until then, just follow

the links

Naive Defiance

Had to go through a few difficult things and I felt

down. I often find strength through music

and photography, and I had to get myself

back out of that rut. This is the result:

Naive Defiance [I may look weak,but I am as strong as ever; 

I may look innocent, but I have my strategies.]

Mes beaux chats

Fluffy, fun, adorable and loving.

AMAZING: FUN.

I couldn't believe it when I heard it the first time. My

whole skin got goosebumps and it felt surreal. Very 

few songs have had the power to give me goosebumps. 

Some Nights, is that exception.

Impromptu Invitation

Felt like a vintage Adam Lambert. Giggles
