It's been quite misty on the hills recently so I've taken advantage of it where possible. I'm not getting a lot of time to shoot nowadays but I still very much enjoy creating interesting images.
Firstly, a self portrait. I was exploring the mist alone to see what kind of shots I could create (and taking shots of anything I thought was interesting) and to see how the mist behaved when shot. It was mentioned that I ought to try some self portraits so here is one :-)
1) I'm a big fan of "less is more" and I've been trying to remove all distractions from my shots as much as possible. I find I'm one of the distractions in self portraits I'd like to remove!
I actively avoided shooting in the woods for some time. I couldn't get past the "girl in tree" or "girl with tree" images, especially when it comes to nude. I have shot some stuff in the woods but it's been a bit more abstract or funky.
The addition of the mist really helped me see a different side to it.

In the above shots Artemis is wearing a corpse bride dress made by Pearl.
And then Artemis bought a Japanese style dress of ebay...we talked about what might be fun to shoot and she had this awesome idea of combining the dress with some simple bondage. We hadn't shot anything like it for a long time and I needed a day off so...
