The Power of Light (Part 1: Oscar Bee)

The Power of Light 

A new light painting series from Anita G

"The Powers of Light is a powerful ability that only few possess; it meant you could use the light in whatever way you wished. Each person has a new way of utilizing it and many want it some will kill for it.
Just pray they don’t find you."

In this new series I’m going to explore the powers I can create with light. I have a few more shoots planned with different ideas.Idea/Light painter/Photographer: anitagphotography

This girl is on FIRE!!!

I would like to issue a huge apology to Saffy! I honestly thought I had put up her photos from Melbourne Armageddon 2013, when it turned out I hadn't. I am so sorry! So here you are! Saffy as Flame Princess from Adventure Time! (I love her expression in the last one!)

The Sunday Special: Slinky and Deer

I have decided that each Sunday (until I run out) I will be featuring one (or two) friend(s) of mine who I have photog'd with! I'll tell you a bit about them, their character(s), and what else they do!

To start this off, I'll be introducing my friend Brianna L. and Amy J.

They are two of the coolest people I know. We've been friends since high school and I'm still soooo glad I met them. They're fantastic people.

Bri or Slinky, likes to cosplay many different characters and is a fantastic make up artist. She's been to Canada and successfully completed one of the more experienced make up courses for prosthetics and more. She's always happy to help and also helps me create amazing images.

Amy or Deer, has a wicked mohawk, which I haven't had a chance to get a picture of yet but it will happen. She likes to cross play a fair amount, meaning cosplaying, but cosplaying the opposite gender. Deer is an amazing artist, I wish I had that much skill with a pencil.

Without further ado, Slinky and Deer! (I'll post some singles and doubles!)

This is one of my favourite shoots with them as Fionna (Slinky) and Marshell Lee (Deer) from the canon genderbend episode of Adventure Time! 

Nick (Deer) and Ellis (Slinky) from Left 4 Dead 2

And some nice pictures Slinky and I took in the grass at a park one when I got my new lens!

Thank you for reading/looking! Tune in next month for another friend/character/amazing person!

Les Femmes and the Male Minority

Some of my favourite images that I took at Red Bennies a month ago from 'Les Femmes and the Male Minority'

A fantasy tale set in a world where women are the empowered ones. Travelling through eras of time, fusing together circus, burlesque and dance, Les Femmes is a seductive and tantalising adventure.

Set in an era similar to the Renaissance, the first act reverses the classical role of men and women in royalty. Closely inspired by the 1967 film, 'Prehistoric Women', the second act is a very literal exploration of an Amazonian culture of women, in which the male minority are used solely for labour, and as sex slaves.

The final act takes a more modern turn of the concept, inspired by Stanley Kubrick's 'Eyes Wide Shut'. The males of this act are more willingly entered into a world of BDSM-inspired submission to the females, while the society of women is portrayed more as a cult, a darker turn on the sex party style of the second act.

Les Femmes is brought to you by Danny Golding Entertainment, featuring his Circotic troupe as seen on 'Australia's Got Talent' (2012 semi-finalists), and the top 12 of 2009's 'So You Think You Can Dance'.

Excuses, excuses, excuses

I was sick for a while so I was unable to continue this blog due to lack of creative anything.

But I'm back!

And I will have some cool shoots to share with you soon! I went to a Burlesque show at Red Bennies, called 'Les Femmes, and the Male Minority'. It was amazing and I high recommend it!

I have also been volunteering at a new Melbourne magazine called 'Colosoul Magazine' and I do photography for them at music gigs! I so far have covered two. One being a cute woman named Sam Buckingham and another (which was actually just tonight) was Fun Machine from Canberra.

So images of those and some tips for gig shoots will be coming up within the next few days!

Also more photography brief from uni. I have an interesting idea for this brief and will see how it works on Sunday when I shoot!

Have a lovely night everyone!

Light Painting Photography

So the first semester for my TAFE course is coming to a close, so I have much work to photograph and show! But I really want to share with you my photography project!

For photography we were given the theme of 'Time'. Not having to focus on time as being clocks or numbers or watches or anything, but ANYTHING to do with time. I chose to use long shutter speeds for light painting.

• What is light painting? 

Light painting is a form of photography, it involves using a long/slow shutter speed to capture the light as you draw with it.

What I personally do is using flash to capture the scene for a second and then run in with the light/sparkler/fire and draw images in the air.

Here is a fantastic example by Darren Pearson!

I love dinosaurs a lot! And the colours are so fantastic!
Got the idea? (I just really wanted to share that piece!)

• Okay, I understand, now what have you been doing Neitz?
  My work for uni not only involved light painting, but also cosplay! I spoke to some of my friends and they were more than happy to help me out! All photos were arranged by me; however with the last four shots, I had someone else hit the button while I did the light painting.

Brianna L. as Stiles Stilinski from Teen Wolf

Beth G. as Belldandy from Ah My Goddess!

Throughout the year I will be doing two more briefs for Photography. And I plan to use light painting as often as I can!

Hope you all have a good weekend and fantastic Friday night!

-Neitz Out.

Let's start this party!

Hi,

I'm Anita G (also known as Neitz) and I am a cosplaying cosplay photographer from Melbourne, Australia.

Myself as Flame Princess from Adventure Time!

This blog will be a mixture of cosplay, photography of cosplays, cosplay tips and tutorials, issues in popculture, and much much more! (Also some previews of my zine (Thrill Of) when I start work on it.)

So tell me about what you would like to see and learn! What you want to read about and if you want me to talk about any issues in the cosplay/popculture community!
