One of the fun things about group hat is that you get a chance to get to know people over time. One of the people I've become friends with, in a general sort of manner, is Indigo Alecto - through the amazing, fun, and supportive group for Mock Cosmetics. Through one thing and another the other day, we got to chatting about being fae and somehow the idea for a fun and amazing photoshoot together came up. Well, today was the day - she got decked out as a Warrior Faerie with the help of Bare Rose - which is available at the current Fashion for Life event. I got decked out as a sweeter, definitely more innocent faerie with the help of a new-to-me store called NS Cutie Store (complete with the adorable ribbons on my feet, which I wish I had in many more colors) from the Fantasy Room.
I lured Indigo over to my place, my favorite Deoridhe's Grove, so that we could rez things like pose balls and giant, primmy bushes of roses from G Field - and so that I could drag her into the cave later and bore her with my stuff. The next hour and a half or so ended up being an absolute ball as we hopped from rose to rose (each rose has it's own poses included) and eventually abandoned the poses so that I could pose her with my favorite PoseAnywhere HUD (which allows me to pose other people if they agree to it) using some of Long Awkward Poses' many amazing fae poses. I took twice as many pictures as I ended up using - I'm finding that taking images of couples where we both get to have some opinion on what's going on can be a whole lot of fun and lead to some very playful images.
I also loved seeing Indigo's pictures of the same event (one, two, three) - two photographers going at the same poses and forms can be very enlightening - both literally and figuratively. I love how bright and singular her images look, as if they were made of blown glass.
