Snow Shoot 2015!

Hey guys, wanted to write about a snow shoot I did a little over a week ago!

This turned out to be a bit tough because myself and both of my models were sick, plus we were gambling on finding a location with snow the day of! We never give up or surrender though so we all packed up and headed out into the mountains of Angeles Crest. We had to go all the way to the top and then trek into it some more since they blocked off the road but we were able to find some ice to use for our shots!

We had a great time despite being ill and I think we came out with pretty decent shots that were worth it! And for our next adventure, something a bit WARMER! :3

Enjoy the silly vid of Jessica Dru below as well as some BTS images! The actual shots are up in the Snow Shoot 2015 Gallery located in the Special Shoots listing!

Also a special shout out to my bud Chris Mandeville for renting an SUV for us as well as being super prepared for anything! And My Le, your location scouting is also top notch! And to my models/friends, Rachel Day and Jessica Dru, thanks for wanting to do us with me!

Silly Jess is silly-

Chris' Christmas gift to me was a selfie stick and it is GLORIOUS! Pictured above from left to right: My Le, Jessica Dru, Rachel Day, myself and Chris Mandeville!

Fawn Girl!

Last weekend I went out with some friends to do a shoot in the mountains and we were lucky to find a spot with some snow and ice! We wanted to create an image based on the Fawn Girl art piece created by J. Scott Campbell ( one of my favorite comic artists ).

We didn't want to try an recreate the image exactly, instead be inspired by it and come up with our own version. I think the image turned out pretty well and I really do love it a lot!

Chubear Cosplay created the horns and had help from Reilena Cosplay to apply the body paint all over. ( She was still covered and not nude during any part of this shoot )

There are some people who have made comments about a doe not having antlers. To those comments I leave the remarks below ;]

A. Some white tailed doe can grow antlers ( although rare ) along with female caribou

B. We used antlers in keeping with the theme from the J. Scott Campbell piece ( I believe he used antlers in his image to have it feel more like a deer )

C. Doe also do NOT HAVE HUMANOID HEADS OR BODIES! ;]

This piece is just meant to be enjoyed for what it is. Hopefully you see it as majestic and beautiful as we do! =]

Here is another image, just a closer portrait of the same Fawn Girl-
