Moth Elf Photoshoot ~ Amongst Mighty Trees and Mountains

in #photography7 years ago (edited)

I had the great honor of doing this collaboration photoshoot with the amazing costume- and clothing designer Costurero Real (https://www.etsy.com/shop/CostureroReal). I was wearing a moth cape which instantly made me feel magical and slightly otherwordly. I've had a fondness for moths since I was a kid, and always cherished their presence. Also, I have a tendency to be a creature of the night myself, even though I also like to wake up early. But creatively nothing can compare to those late night hours, when I finally feel calm enough to make and create from my soul. Also I love the moon and the stars!

This cape can be found in many variations, like various butterflies and even flowers. It has a metal frame which makes it easy to dance with and move around. It is so light-weight I've started attaching it on top of my backpack while hiking in the mountains, for some low-key shots which often turns out awesome. I'm just really happy with it!

These pictures were taken during the same days as the previous ones I posted, but with the moth wings this time. Location: Eikesdalen, Norway.

Mating season had started for the deer, and you could hear them all around in this valley. Sounds awesome and terrifying like a flock of wild beasts if you don't know better.

The trees in this valley is just so magnificent! Wherever you go, you can stumble upon these tree giants, full of interesting shapes, and remarkably big to be in Norway. I've befriended a whole bunch of them.

Absolutely gorgeous! So vibrant and magical! 💚🦋

Blending into the rockslide. That one pulls my thoughts most. Plus I really needed a reference photo of trees growing through a rockslide for my bonsai landscape project.

Sounds like a cool project! Yes, the mountains here are so steep, the trees often get hit by huge rocks and sometimes are wiped out completely.

Wow! Nice photoset and amazing location!

Lol.... From the cover I see that you are a real moth😅😅😅
