Description a re-work on a earlier piece taken the same day as the secret tree .

this is actually the look i had planned for the outcome, however on seeing the coloured versions i changed my mind and didn't do any PS work on them. but i though now it was high time to see if i could actually achieve what i was going for in the first place!

i wanted a soft, slightly gothic, slightly fantasy, victorian to 1920s feel of photograph, and i think with the adjustments i've made i got something close to what i wanted

to quote The Secret Tree: 'please bear in mind, i have to model, cling to the tree, hold the camera out in front of me, imagine whats on the view screen, and focus, point and shoot, all with one hand, all at once.


camera: sonycybershot - a compact camera
location: my garden in england, beneath the cherry tree
lighting: all natural
model: me
concept: me
hair and make up: me
photographer: me - handheld
editting: me



thank you so much for your support!
best wishes for the new year everyone!

Marvelous composition, haunting image, beautiful visage. I am fascinated by the water droplets - how did you do that?!
You inspire me to do better work.
Thank you.

i love this. you look like a flower faerie! haha there these old books i have gathering dust in my house but their all paintings of faeries who live in the trees and the like wearing costumes of the flower they are. The crystals on your face and the way that the flowers look like they tie into both your hair and the tree are great :]

thing is, this shouldnt be in print anywhere as no one has paid for the right to do so.. so its just a bit worrying thats all!
