A BAT! P2, Toxin the model...

Hi!



Yep you read right, model.
Some of you know I studied photography in Uni but was unable to complete it due to financial situations.
Now I'm trying my hand at modelling, I literally fell into it - I turned up at a photoshoot and the wardrobe stylist said "you'll be wearing this!" i was shocked - "I'm not a model - I'm one of the photographers!" "not today - we have two models and four photographers plus you... you're tall, skinny and pretty enough. You're a model."

From there I discovered a whole new way of doing things - modelling with the eye and knowledge of a photographer, learning how other people use poses and lighting to best effect, what looks good, what doesn't. For now its a new little side path on the main road I am heading down.

I had a shoot on saturday in Ballarat in the Botanical Gardens, this one was for an amazing Corset Designer called Obsidian Lace. I looove her corsets. For the shoot I wore "Dutchess" (the black steampunk one) and one from her GlitterSniffer range - a collaboration with an amazing artist.

I won't bombard you with photos, but I may add to this as more come in from the photographers.

Photographer: Ray Price





Photographer: Sonya




And already posted - the rest of my modelling work so far...
What do you think?

Also, I have the opportunity to purchase one of these corsets... which one do you think I should get?
Love,

NEW SEGMENT!

Hi everyone!
So, I'm a doofus and can't find my camera! I swear I've looked EVERYWHERE and have no idea where the little bugger got to... I know I had it in my room last as I uploaded photos and haven't taken any more since... so for my idiocy you get my newest weekly segment early... it's called... *drum roll*



A BAT is short for A Bit About Toxin. Spookycute, no?
(For those of you that think it't TOO spooky, here's a cute bat (photo does not belong to me):
ANYWAY, this segment will maybe be weekly or just whenever I need a little break and want to tell you a little bit about myself.
First thing about me, I'm a photographer. 
Sort of. 
I don't yet have a DSLR as I'm unemployed and have no savings because I need all the money I can get just for food. Nail Polish is a mega splurge for me and the only thing that keeps me sane. 
I prefer to work with film becuase I feel it is more involved (I usually process and develop all my own work, including some colour!)
Here's some examples of my stuff:
Pure

Maitresse Rouge

La Fee Rose


Ushanka

Iridescence
Crespe

Aefentid


Fleur de Lis

Red Elixir

Elixir of Life


A mere foible...




So now you know a bit about Toxin!
If anyone has suggestions of what they'd like to see for the next A BAT! please leave a comment in this post!
