Description Here is a folio shot taken of myself at Rookwood Cemetery, one of the oldest cemeteries in Sydney. We were lucky to get in this shoot just before they did a major restoration, prior to that the grounds and gardens were overgrown and the crypts and tombstones were all cracked and decaying, which is just the way I like it and the way it should be!!! The cemetery grounds being in this state of neglect certainly added to the ambience of the photos.



The costume, hair and make-up designed and created by moi.

Photography by Paul Santelmann.


(photo taken using analogue SLR 35mm film camera and red lens filter and developed manually in dark room)



Enjoy!



NB: This make-up work was traditionally created with no airbrushing, digital manipulation or photoshop of any kind...and that's the way I usually like it!!

Awww wow, you always say such lovely things to make me feel special! People often comment about the photo in general or the m/u and costume but not much about me, which is ok, I'm shy about personal compliments anyways - lol.

very nice Bec, This stuff really suits you. hey have you been to that vintage costume shop on Pitt st. I think it is. My ex used to go there all the time when she was doing her costume course at Ultimo.
God I miss Sydney..

BeccyBex In reply to tariq12 [2006-03-29 16:21:33 +0000 UTC]

Oh wow, I know that vintage shop so well, I've bought many a cool item from there
Did your ex finish the course? What a cool course to do. I personally hate sewing, but I love designing, so it's a real labour of love to actually finish any of my fashion ideas, it's worth it though

Sydney is way over crowded these days, and people are a lot nastier than they used to be.
I'm sure you'ld notice so much has changed, if you ever decide to brave that gruelling flight over again
