Getting weird and creative for October

So! It's been fun shooting over the last month, I'm keen to do another month of regular shoots (well, one a week) I'm mostly interested in either shooting at stunning locations (that I'm unaware of hehe) or getting creative and doing something unusual or out there. Also interested in alt portraiture stuff, not experienced with it so will be new for me.

My costumes and props lean towards circus, fantasy, shaman, witch, goth, hippy, raver, festival... If you have any cool costumes I'm extra keen, especially love fetish wear, 1920s, alt goth stuff, fantasy, anime cosplay, steam punk... 

Aerial: I own my own aerial hoop, I am very keen to find cool locations to rig up and take some shots. I like the idea of using  props and costumes and character rather than focusing on just "the moves" as we've all seen people doing some classy aerial poses, it's fairly done, it'd be cool to try and get a bit more creative and weird with it. 

Dark Circus: I really want to create some creepy dark industrial or urban circus feeling shots. I have a few props but this would be especially cool if you have any props too. I have clothes for this and face paint styles, a hula hoop and a contact ball and juggling balls and a gothic umbrella. Also could be tempted into doing some semi-clothed clown shibari. 

Witch: For ages I've been trying to get this one together, this would be ideal for someone who actually finds witchcraft interesting, I want to work outdoors in nature getting earthy or swampy semi-naked using bone, skull and crystal props to make some awesome "wild feral witch" images... If you have a wooden staff then please extra apply hahaa. Fake blood and ritual stuff could also work. I'm thinking raw, muddy, dead leaves, twisted trees, the good naturey stuff. 

Gender fluidity: I want to create a series of portraits expressing gender fluidity, going from "man" to "feminine man" to "a-gender or neutral" to "masculine woman" to "woman" using clothes/theatrical make-up/hairstyle. I will find chest binders/fake facial hair as well. Definitely requires a queer-friendly photographer. Ideally it would be cool to make the images even more subversive by having the poses/props distinctly not match the expectations of that gender but eh we'll work that one out.

Bodies and Identity: I would love to create some body positive images with someone who really likes exploring the unique differences in us humans. The focus would be on textures, flaws, capturing real feelings and unusual body postures and expressions. I keep my body hair - I have little armpit fuzziness and leg hairs, and although I'm fit I am curvacious and have a kinda unusual face, so I think it'd be cool to try a shoot that focused on the beauty in the strange rather than trying to airbrush or hide it all.  
 

Mental health: I have a mood board for this, just an attempt to create some imagery around the struggles many of us face with our own mind and ego. Especially feelings of being trapped and lost.
