"Disarm" - photography by me OOAK Leaf Photography, model is Tink Kaos, taken back in September... First time we had anyone model here at the chapel! I wasn't sure we could make it work because we don't have much space here. However, it just goes to show - all you need is another creative soul in front of your lens and before you know it you have way too many ideas and not enough time!
I was in awe, watching Tink pose, I have to say.... This lady is incredible! ♥
Thank you for visiting us, and I hope you'll return in your van next year! 🙂

'Texture like sun' - photography by me OOAK Leaf Photography - another beautiful portrait of Karoline from a super first shoot together a few weeks ago!
Have to say, we picked a good day - the golden light was amazing! We were able to create some very atmospheric shots! 🙂
See yesterday's post for more info on this shoot...
I'm really enjoying editing these and I think my editing mojo has returned again - at last! 🙂
Thank you so much Karoline!

"Høstens Gule Blader" - photography by me OOAK Leaf Photography... I had a super shoot with Karoline a few weeks ago! This is one of my favourite images from a lovely afternoon of glorious winter sunshine in Penglais woods! Karoline is a real natural in front of the camera - there's so many more beautiful images to come!
I've hardly done any shoots this year (neither as model, nor photographer)... only ones that Bob organised, actually... So this was a great opportunity for me to gain a bit of confidence behind the camera again. And we couldn't have picked a better day!!
I'm really looking forward to more creative adventures with you next year, Karoline - thank you so much! Tusen takk! 🙂

A huge welcome to all my new followers of this page! :o

Also, if you enjoy these images, why not take a look at my modelling page and give that a follow too! :)

Here's a Christmassy portrait - taken back in 2019 - with Becka. I don't celebrate Christmas myself, but I do love a bit of tinsel and fairy lights! :)

"Guide me home for Christmas day" - photography and editing by me, and model is Silk. Taken back in December 2017 when there was a brief bit of snow and we totally had to go and shoot in it! They've chopped this bit of forest down now and I really miss it every time I drive up to Llyn Berwyn.
Anyway.... Happy Christmas to you all! 🙂

Silk and I have just got an FPI over on PurplePort for this image, taken earlier on this year!
All effects are in-camera.

"An appointment with the Seer"

December 2019:
Taken at Seaweed John's house. No special effects needed - just the lounge light, a torch, and two LED lights.... Shot through a rainy patio window!

I LOVE the mystery and intrigue of this image. And Rune is fantastic at adding drama with her wonderful way of posing!

Headdress is made by Rune.

Many thanks to John for arranging this day! :)

"You'll be in good hands.... trust me! - from a fantastic shoot last year, with model Heartworks and her partner.
This was really fun - and totally unplanned - I just love how we ended up taking such weird images like this one!
It's great when both models and photographer work together so creatively, just throwing out any ideas that spring to mind. The shoot develops organically in that way - it's so playful, intuitive, and experimental.
This is also a great example of how bringing a partner or a chaperone along to a shoot can turn out to be such fun - and why I always encourage it. It was this shoot that made me realise the importance of having an extra person there - whether they become a main character in an image, like this one - or just an extra pair of hands (and by that I mean an extra bit of help, as well as literally an extra pair of hands in an image.... you'll see what I mean, when I post more images from this shoot! :) ).
I never got round to posting anything from this shoot until now - I've just been too busy, and my head not always into OOAK stuff. But I still remember how excited I was when I did this shoot, and I think it's time to share some images with you all. :)

Really pleased to get an FPI with this image on PurplePort - with Sal Troy! Photo and creative editing by me OOAK Leaf Photography.
The idea came from something we were talking about, prior to this shoot - isolation, disconnection, and the feeling of not knowing where we are or where we are going to; of being cut loose from our moorings - of being set adrift....
Purpleport image is here (on Sal's portfolio):
https://purpleport.com/portfolio/skycladpixie/image/5962396/model?type=front&referrer=leaf Sal called this "You send me, set adrift on memory bliss of you" which is exactly one of the two titles I had in mind for this image (but hadn't told her that!).
Just put the image up on 500px too: https://500px.com/photo/1023696566/silent-sorrow-in-empty-boats-by-ooak-leaf

'Desire (what you get is what you seek)' - model is Rachyy Downes, photography and editing by me OOAK Leaf Photography.
I drew the wings and feathers myself but then I blurred them so you can't really appreciate them... 🤦‍♀️
Time to get all my old goth CDs on to really get into the Halloween editing mood. Ahhh Gene Loves Jezebelle - his voice!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWIaauVXNX8

Trying to get some Halloween images edited over the next week and a bit.... Here's the incredible Rachyy - pulling the most amazing faces!!
All effects are done in camera, using prisms to reflect light and rainbows - however for this image I also added two faces from two other images in this part of the set. (Which is why its's always worth hanging on to every RAW file from a shoot - I can add bits to other images....)
Oh and I gave her vampire teeth too - he he!
