    Default Took some pictures yesterday.

    The wonderfully sweet and very talented Ariellah, a Goth bellydancer.

    like the first one best, it looks good all around.

    otherwise, the angles are good, but for me I think it needs some variation in lighting.

    and I'm sorry to say, but I really don't like that background. I guess that's just a thing with me and backgrounds, you might say, why are you looking at the background, there's a beautiful woman in the forground! But I would just prefer a more natural setting (like a hookah bar!), and I think that the contrast is too sharp so it distracts from the model.

    I hate to come on here and say anythign bad, because I couldn't do anywhere near as good of a job as the members here, but I think that people want to hear pros and cons, right?

    I like those a lot. I really like the first one a lot.

    And Bill could you ask her what shade of lipstick/gloss is on her lips pretty please? PM me cause I want that color. Right now.

    Morning Glory - Thanks for the feedback. I rather liked the color of the walls, but yes, it would have been better in a more appropriate location.

    Nudemuse - Next time I talk to her, I'll ask.

    Forrest - It was fun. She was so pleasant and interesting to talk to. And your welcome. Hopefully, I'll actually have something to submit to BB, but I'm trying to get back into the mindset to be taking photos again after having stepped away from it for so long and then only being ablt to shoot sporadically at this time.

    mmmcherry - I did video a performance she did for my video, but if you'd like to see her in action you could buy this, this or this.

    I have a friend that would do a duet with her. My friend does Goth bellydancing, as well as Zombie bellydancing.

    I was about to ask the same thing. I don't see zombies being lithe enough to bellydance. Then again, there's the Living Dead Girlz, a zombie dance troupe I taped for my documentary.

    These pics made me think of an idea for a Goth/Zombie musical. "Dance of the Living Dead", or "A Night In The Cemetery", anyone???:

    With choreography, of course, by either Busby Berkeley or Bob Fosse, both of whom would have to be dug up for the occasion.

    My wife has been inspired to take up bellydancing. She found a "Gothic Bellydancing DVD" on eBay, but it was too much and only available in the US.

    Do you know which one it was? Ariellah has her own instructional DVD as well as being featured in two or three different DVD's showcasing dark and Goth Bellydancers.

    Very beautiful model, amazing eyes. On another note, how's the documentary coming along HB? Has the website been updated in the past month (last time I saw it I think). Also what is the site, I lost it >_<.

    Um, no the website hasn't been updated, but it really needs to be. I also need to dedicate a huge chunk of time to actually capturing my video footage I currently have and start stringing something together that may start to resemble a movie. But I still need a lot of pictures to take and a few more interviews to conduct and a ton of B-roll to shoot.

    As for the address, keep an eye out on
    http://www.gothiphilia.com/

    The site should be up on that domain soon, regardless of the state of incompleteness it is in. The site is currently housed here:

    These are beautiful, and Ariellah has a great look to her. I especially love the goth belly dancing ones.

    Well, you will like the fact that we are planning another shoot where she wants to show off another one or two of her belly dance outfits.

    She's such a good sport. She traveled to all those interesting places with you to take her picture. I am so loving ALL of these. She's beautiful, and you most definitely have a knack for shooting her.

    I LOVE your watermark too... so classy.

    The library shot is the best lit. You can see her facial features in perfect relief.

    It is a really nice shot, although I think it might actually be a mausoleum.

    You can see the features in her face.

    There's wonderful shadows on her body too.
