Haven’t updated in soooo long but here’s an attempt at getting back into things!
New Prints & Update
Happy to share that my portraits of Alodia Gosiengfiao in kimono and hanfu are available at Darklight Art as prints for a limited time! The collection is curated by Nicola Mary Wyatt. Thank you for having me ❤️
It’s kind of crazy thinking back to when we did this shoot. I was all ready to start on an Asian-themed Motherland Chronicles series but promptly emoed my way into 2 years of hiatus 😩 Big sad but trying to get my shit together to shoot personal work again now.
Working on personal stuff as the only focus is super hard btw. Over the long break I’ve changed the way I see and frame things. But at the same time/because of that I have no freaking idea what kind of images I want to make or what is a good picture anymore.
I want to move away from some of the stuff I was always drawn to and did before, but at the same time I’ve already always hated my work, so now it’s just absolute garbage whenever I try to select pictures, I don’t even know what I’m doing?
Why is personal work so hard?? 😭😭😭
Honestly so much has happened these past few years. I’m kind of in flux and readjusting my perspectives on things, sometimes I feel like I don’t recognize myself. But it is what it is and I guess, whatever comes out of this is what I am now.
Looking for Stylist!
This should be another post but on the topic of personal work!—I’m looking for a stylist/styling assistant/designer for my new series! It’s inspired by anime and manga so I’m not looking for someone traditional per se.
Pretty open to cosplayers/designers/costumers/assistants and so on, so long as there’s a good understanding of a variety of looks and genres. I’m in Seattle but remote is probably fine because what I need most is help with sourcing, researching, and putting looks together right now.
