A Haunting Beauty


Meet Allison! A local Pittsburgh lolita, hailing from the state of New York. The state, not the city! ~she's a country girl born and raised! Not a city girl!~ She is one of the quieter ones of the Pittsburgh group, but surely one of the sweetest. She told me that there where very few good photos of her. So I made it my mission to increase that number!

She was a wonderful model, her outfit was amazing, and I believe the settings we located in Harmony, PA, suited her outfit and style rather well.  It's a very historic area that has some lovely settings. The stone gate is actually part of a cemetery! The house is the Harmony Inn, which is also a very nice restaurant. And it's haunted as well!

We brought along my Gloomy Bear, Zombie Bunny, and Strawberry Cavey to serve as adorable friends.

Not a Popstar



Tai, is also a good friend of mine. He's a B-Boy and an excellent dancer. So my idea for this was to play on the current -popular- trend of 'asian male popstars'. With Korean pop groups gaining fame and fans in the states. Tai was more then willing to play along, and looked foreward to getting his photograph taken. I have to say I am very pleased with this shoot. Though next time... He's going to have to remeber to drink water! He started suffering from the heat near the end of this shoot and we found him some water and some cool places to sit down to help him cool down!

EuroPop


EuroPop is the first photoshoot taken by my assistant Amy U. Guy and I had been talking about doing a photo shoot of the two of us in an early brit- goth/punk style. However, I lack the ability to pose and take pictures of myself at the same time. Amy, however was more then willing to give this a go.

After explaining to her the basics of the camera off she went! And she figured out things very quickly!

Models: Amanda B. , Guy T.

Break Me Down, is a photoshoot loosely based off the punk and goth scenes, but it was really a good way to start working with my now recurring model Guy T. Amy and Guy both appear in this. This shoot was also part of the -EuroPop shoot-.

Green Goddess


These are from an amazing shoot I did with Amy. She's also my assistant here at Dead Luck Images. She plans to go to college for Costume Design, and is learning how clothing appears in photographs, so she can understand design and fashion better. *If a dress cannot photograph well, it isn't going to sell well, or appear in video or photographs properly. No matter how lovely it is in person.*

These are taken at Hells Hollow in New Castle, PA. My hometown. The theme or idea behind this shoot was, a goddess of the forest, Gaia. The lush greens and the coolness of the water.
