The Creature has escaped!!!....

... AND this time he has transformed! 
Meet the trespasser!






This would probably go unnoticed to many, but I did alot
of contouring with make up to create a more detailed look.
I do not own any of the professional make up used in special effects
or by drag queens, but I have been studying alot of Petrilude's 
tutorials and drew inspiration from that.

I did however struggle alot with the temperatures as we 
are in summer now and struggling with somewhat of a
heat wave, causing all efforts to go up in flames. 
But I am nonetheless proud of the detail I put into my 
contouring.

A note on The Creature: Transformed

I will be doing a continuation of The Creature to
include make up & create a detailed look. This will
also be part of a transformational process of the character
to portray the duality of photography & model. 

The Creature

When I was in the process of editing this shoot, 
I was mesmerized at how much I Sub Zero from Mortal 
Kombat & I looked alike. 

The title then created itself: The Creature

Perfumary: Progress

These are the Instagram versions of my collection up until
the injury to my Galaxy. You will also note the 'David Beckham
Instinct Sport' is a bit faded & the image isn't very sharp, 
and that is the effect the camera
gave after the injury occured...















Perfumes... (a note of sorts)

With the start of February I came up with the idea
of show-casing my love and appreciation for
perfumery, and put my collection of perfume
bottles out there, bottle by bottle. 

It worked out for the most part, but soon into the month
of Feb, my Samsung Galaxy's camera I have been using for 
Instagram and such, got injured, and I had to give up on the
idea, sort of.

I then decided it was too good of an idea to give up, and
I have decided to try photographing my bottles instead,but with
out the filters provided by Instagram ofcourse. All of the progress
from Instagram to Nikon snaps will follow shortly...

Dorian Kyle is back: Fantasy

Is it real, or fantasy. With Dorian Kyle, the line between
reality & fantasy is not only blurred, but ultimately invisible.
When Dorian Kyle comes out to play, anything is possible...




Garden Wanderland

On a seperate occasion, I got to snap these lovelies
while walking through the garden. I have come
to realise I have not done nature photography in
ages, and looking at these, I wonder ' WHY?' 

Here is Garden Wanderland:







Butterfly, Fly: The Reprise

And then I found this beauty fluttering
from flower beds to trees with little effort.
It seemed to have sensed my presence, and 
gave me enough shots to go on ;D




Butterfly, butterfly, fly away



Walked around the garden again in what seems like a
very long time, and I found this beauty playing on 
one of the trees.
