Agnes Welcomes You...

Be what you would seem to be -- or, if you'd like it put more simply -- Never imagine yourself not to be otherwise than what it might appear to others that what you were or might have been was not otherwise than what you had been would have appeared to them to be otherwise.~The Duchess

The Actual Shoot + Hells Yeah I Borrowed Dead Things

Ok folks...so THIS is the shoot I've been hootin' & hollerin' about for like a month. It's basically awesome. I brought all sorts of table detrius & even borrowed some skulls from a taxidermy friend of mine which made everything infinitely cooler.
By the way, if you know people who own dead things: absolutely under no circumstances should you NOT ask to borrow them...unless it's like dead PEOPLE or parts in freezers and stuff 'cause that's gross and pretty illegal I think. Animals are ok though...like foxes. I am patiently waiting for stuffed things to come my way so that I can immediately photograph them with pretty things. God I'm weird.

Adult-type Details:
Photographer: Me...duh
Assistant: Emily L
Hair Accessories & Renaissance Woman: Jade Rose
Models: Erin W & Kyleen O
Makeup: Everyone but me 'cause I don't do that crap
Hair: Deven Miller



Anyway, Jade handled all the human stuff (models, make up, clothes) whilst I handled all the creepy shit like dead things & the security guards at the park. Which, by the way, are like the best/worst security guards on all the planet...I totally sweet talked our hot asses onto the rides which apparently is strictly forbidden. Except to pretty girls with big hair and makeup and junk.
Erin & Kyleen were incredibly good sports about the whole thing...models are awesome like that, you know? Like "oh hey, wanna climb on some rickety shit in heels so I can "get the shot"?"..."sure, no problem". You'd never see my ass up on stuff like that. Models rock...except Naomi Campbell...I hear she's a real scorpion.


I wish I could figure out how to make these pictures bigger or closer together or fancy or whatever. I'm an artist dammit...not a stupid computer programmer. But I DID figure out that if you click on the pictures they get all big & fabulous so I guess there's that.




So that's basically it...there are more but seriously people? Stop being so damn greedy. More later.

Thanks to everyone who contributed to this shoot! I wanna do moooore.

Agnes OUT.

These Things Have Come & Gone But I'm Posting Them 'Cause That's What Bloggers Do...I Think...

Soooo like a bagillion years ago I decided I wanted to do an Alice In Wonderland inspired shoot with some of my jewelry & some of Jade's designs. It was mostly an opportunity to showcase our schtuff PLUS show off all the random shit I keep in my apartment. Which, let's face it, is far cooler than the shit in your apartment. No really it is. My episode of Hoarders is gonna be like the best episode EVER. Hipster Hoarder. Anyrandomjunk, these are the "test" shots from that shoot. The REAL shoot already happened like 2 weeks ago & I'll post those too...all in due time dearies.

In all reality, I like this shoot as a separate entity considering how different it turned out from the following set. Kind of like the first Willy Wonka compared to the fuckery/coolness Tim Burton version. (Dear Tim Burton, I would like to climb around in your brain & look at all the weird shit in there. Love, Agnes) Moving on...





P.S. Erin is a kick-ass model & I love her.





I decided I wanted to tinker with color a bit...I like tinkering..











There are literally so many pictures in this set I have a hard time picking. FIERCE. Good lord I love all the table detritus...I mean, who keeps this kind of crap around them at all times. Me. I do. Because I'm weird. Stop judging me.
