personal project (note: includes nudity)

~small disclaimer~: these photographs are mine, they were taken for a personal, artistic project and are in no way, shape or form child pornography. if you have nothing nice to say please keep your comments to yourself.

over the weekend my friend B and i got together to help each other out with a few little projects. i was modelling for her with a few different photo shoots for her photography and art assignments, and she also did another shoot as a favour to me - my first nude photo shoot.
i have always wanted to but never had the opportunity until now. it was a lot of fun and i'm very excited to do something similar soon.
this particular shoot had a few different purposes/meanings behind it:

• recreating some favourite photographers' work
• the beauty of the human body despite disfigurement
• inner beauty and being comfortable in your own skin

(to do with the first dot point) we were experimenting with dark lighting and the effect of shadows, and as such, a few of the images turned out pretty crummy with quality. nonetheless i have a few favourites. they are -

because of the issues with the lighting etc we're doing another similar shoot in the near future, i am very excited to see how they turn out. :-)

overnight camping trip

a delayed post as this was the other day, but anyway. over the weekend a few friends and i went camping just for the night at a lovely spot by the river. there was alcohol, a fire, a sound system and good people. there was a bit of teen drama but that's to be expected. overall it was a good night.
