Glowy lights , editing Tut 🧚🏻🪄✨

Here's your first editing tutorial! It's a bit chaotic but I hope I'll get better making them with a bit of practice !

If you have any further questions, let me know!💞

Models in this piccie are @jazzycostumes and @rosiegoldfantasy

Actual result from the weekend 🪄

Jokes aside, here's an ACTUAL result from the weekend! @faerieofthreads was so kind to allow me to share it with you already!

The model is my friend @rosiegoldfantasy , who also designed the dress since she's part of FaerieofThreads✨

I made three different versions, the one with just grass is the "original" piccie without the trampoline 😂✨ it was tough to carry that thing through the forest , but it was so so worth it!

I'll share some in depth details on the shoots ...

Epic underwater shoot results 🪄✨

My dear patrons, I've been so busy with the latest project that I didn't post as much on here, but this weekend I'll prepare some blog posts and tutorials for you!

In the meantime, you can look at these ✨results✨ from our underwater shoot 🙂‍↔️

I have learned my lesson and now understand, that a lake should look very clear if you plan to shoot underwater in it😂😭

We did not get a single piccie but luckily we took a lot of nice ones above the surfa...

new project!🌬️💦🔥🌱✨🗡️

The last weekend was BUSY!

Jess*, Misty** and I have worked on a really special project, which is the collection from Jess aka. FaerieofThreads!!!

The dresses are inspired by the Elements:

Air , water , fire , earth , space and consciousness ✨

We tried to include these elements as much as possible in the photoshoots, and honestly I think we nailed it! Jess dresses are so unique , and PERFECT for photoshoots, look how you can play with the fabrics , and how the materi...

June Prints!🖼️

Choose the aesthetic of this months download (the mirror patrons) & physical (the sword and the crown patrons) print ✨

Before and after 🪄✨

Happy Start of June my dear patrons!

We're starting this month with a before and after ! I took this self portrait in my parents basement with one softbox and a night lamp planted behind me on a stool + a blanket as backdrop ! Because of the poor lighting situation that was far far away from "studio" , I had to edit A LOT in this photo😭😂✨

Here are some things I did:

• retouching

• adding an elf ear

• added volume to the wig

• cha...

My Equipment

Although Gear is not everything and it's mostly about the person behind the camera, the right equipment will help you in more than one way. In this blog post I will talk about the gear that I use, and which impact it has for me, artisticly but also the practical side!

My camera: Nikon d750

I absolutely love this camera. It is a full frame, which was the best upgrade i ever did with my equipment! It has wifi, which can be used to navig...

Speed edit 🏃‍♀️💨

Here is an uncut , sped up video of my whooooole editing process in this photo! The main part takes place in photoshop , and my final step is a Color preset on the app VSCO on my phone!

If you want to know more about why and how I do the final touches on my phone, let me know, and I'll elaborate in a blog post 🤍

Would you like to see more speed edits?

Before & After

This is one of my favourite edits I've ever done! The original photo was super over exposed, because it was just a little test pic to adjust my settings. But right in that moment , Michelle had such a naturally beautiful pose, that I decided this is the photo I want to edit!

Here are some things I've done:

• Expand the sides to fit the instagram format

• Remove the rain gutter
• Remove the dress straps and make the top look cleaner by...

Here's a photo from the mana festival I edited lately! I love that I'm able to share photos right after editing with you, on insta I sometimes wait WEEKS until they fit in my feed 😂✨

Beautiful model is : @pandatadl on insta !💞

Tabea is quiet new to modelling , her first photoshoot was one she booked with me last year! She's actually super talented and I can't wait to see her grow in the community 🫶🏼

Plinko Board Shoot 2

The first three results from my second Plinko board shoot are ready!

Prompt was: forest, candle, fake blood 🌲🕯️🩸

More coming soon!🫶🏼

Reality check 💞

Sometimes I forget, that you mainly see the good sides of what I'm doing, where I appear confident , professional and like I know exactly what I'm doing.

This is not always the case! Especially self portraits are super hard for me ! 😂

So here is a video , showing you my weird attempts to pose , and telling you a lil bit about my experience while you watch me struggle!💞

I promise , I'll do more reality checks from now on!

Plinko Board 2 🌲🩸🕯️

we're doing a Plinko Board selfportrait shoot today!

The prompt is:

Forest, fake blood, candle ! 🌲🩸🕯️

My idea for this shoot is a medieval vibe, like the story of a queen/princess who escaped from her castle during a battle or something! I don't want to wait until evening for the darker light, and I think in the first the light we have right now might also work, let's hope I don't regret that!😂

Wish me luck!

Good morning patrons 🧚🏻 yesterday I edited this photo of @melorah_ , taken at the mana festsival last weekend!✨

A few years ago, when I started getting more into fantasy photography, all my greens were super cool like in this edit! Over the years my style had changed a little and I noticed my greens got warmer and warmer.

As an artist, it's normal that your style changes, and it's also normal to be a bit unhappy with it, feeling a bit lost from time to time! So I decided ...

Choose the photoshoot!

This weekend , I will do a little self portrait session! I want to use either my Plinko Board , or a filter that I made a while ago!

Help me decide what I should do!

Plinko board:

With the Plinko board (see insta for a demonstration) , location, prop and ✨extra✨ will be randomly chosen by my selfmade puzzle board, and I would do a fitting photoshoot!

labyrinth filter:

A while ago I made an instagram filter, which gives you one of the tre...

Monthly print download , March & April 🧚🏻✨

Dear Patrons,

I forgot to upload the link to the March Print! I am so sorry that I forgot it the past month, as a little apology I added a third print to the download link, thank you for still sticking around 🤍

I wanna be as transparent as possible on here, and to be honest I just really really struggle with routines and tasks. I forget about things so quickly and feel super guilty afterwards. I've been trying to get tested on adhd for the past year but it's hard to...

Bts!🤍

Yesterday we did the first session for the powers of fate (caraval series), and it turned out SO GOOD!! Misty aka. @rosiegoldfantasy looked stunning as the maiden death 😍

I also got to finally try out my fog machine that I already have for 2 years I think?😂✨

More bts coming soon!

Sewing update 🪡🧵

Good morning dear patrons!

It's been a bit quiet on here because I honestly forgot about my Patreon! I struggle a lot with being extremely forgetful, and today I just saw the app icon and was like - damn, I forgot about my Patreon!

It's very important to me to not make silly excuses and always stay as authentic as possible, that's why I'm telling you 🫶🏼

I am now planning to make weekly posts, so it doesn't happen again! Thanks for sticking around 🥹

Sewing update ✨

So happy with how it looks! Still more pearls needed 😂 any ideas what you'd add to it?

Sewing update !🤍

My current progress of the corset I'm sewing for the "powers of fate" project (caraval series)!

I can't really lace it up cause I sewed it in size xs for my model and I'm wearing M, so it sits a bit weird on me 😂✨

I'll add loooots of pearls to it (see photo 3)

To be continued!

The maiden death- sketch

A quick sketch I drew at work, my creative phase is always in the morning / around noon 😂😭✨

So for the first fate , I'll be doing the maiden death together with Misty aka. @rosiegoldfantasy ✨

She has some beautiful white sleeves that we will use, and I have some white skirts !

But for the corset, i want to go a bit extra and sew it myself 🤞I've sown a couple of corsets already so I'm confident that it will work! I literally can't wait to bedazzle everything wit...

Special project ✨🤫

Hi my dear patrons!

I haven't talked to you in a while, been busy creating!✨ I am currently sewing an outfit for a special photography project!

Has anyone of you read the caraval series?

There's the "powers of fate" which are similar to tarot cards , and I am obsessed with their aesthetic! So I'm planning to photograph all of the characters as like a studio portrait!

For the first character I'll be working with Misty (@rosiegoldfantasy on insta...
