be very curious to see anyone wearing any of my designs!

Cyberpunk Photography and William Gibson
I'm cross-posting this entry from my Photography blog, as I wanted to share the text (and photograph) here as well.
This is going to be a longer blog entry than normal, so you'll have to bear with me.
I am a huge fan of the writing of William Gibson, the author of pretty much my favourite novel, Neuromancer, which I first read in 1988. He is one of the few authors I had ever wanted to meet.
Well, back in 2007, he came to Winnipeg on a book tour, and he was speaking at three different events as part of the Thin Air Writer's Festival. I made a point of attending all three events, and even had a chance to talk to him briefly at each event (so much so that he even remembered my name at the third event), and he was very pleasant to talk to. I had asked him about the prevalence of artists in his writing, characters like Slick Henry from Mona Lisa Overdrive, among other things.
Now, the model in this piece, Jamie, was also present at the first event he spoke at. I had met Jamie at a local comic book convention (we both were appearing as artists there), and we knew each other enough to recognize, but hadn't really spoken a whole lot. I think it was only a few weeks later, at another convention, that we talked more (about some artwork that she had picked up at the show, if I recall correctly), but in the coming months, we began working together as part of another show. In the months and years that followed, we began hanging out more and more often, as we discovered we had a wide range of interests in common. One of which was a love of the work of Mr Gibson and much of the Cyberpunk aesthetic.
Now, ever since I began this whole Gothic Photography project, Jamie has been very interested and encouraging with it, offering a lot of advice and suggestions from her own photographic background, going so far as to even make some of her photography equipment available for my use. Periodically, we would even discuss her modeling for me, mostly in relation to the robot-based photography, a subject she is very interested in.
In the summer of 2011, Jamie first modeled for me, and we wound up doing some (I think) wonderful pieces together. Mostly Steampunk-style robots, with some more Cyberpunk-styled pieces in there (as well as a couple of doll photos). After the edits from that first shoot were completed, we discussed doing another shoot, something a bit more aggressive and action-based. This is my third edit from this shoot from January of this year, and it is the one I am happiest with thus far.
There is a strong Cyberpunk vibe to this piece - it's not that this character would necessarily appear in any of Mr Gibson's work (his creations are not generally so over-the-top), but it is imagery that quite possibly could appear as advertising in that work. There is, to me, a strong hint of Molly (a character from a few of his stories) in this character - in fact, in an upcoming edit, I am planning on doing an eye lens treatment on a photo of Jamie that will be much more in line with how I have always envisioned Molly's cybernetic eye coverings to be. I don't want to go so far as to recreate specific characters entirely, or even individual scenes, from his novels, but his influence definitely permeates much of my more robotic/cybernetic photography.
Anyway, that's it. As always, prints of this piece are available for sale at my Redbubble account or even from me directly.

Cyberpunk and Cybergoth photography
I've been working on a few photos that are much more Cyberpunk and Cybergoth lately than my normal gothic work usually winds up being, and I am extremely happy with the response to them. So, I figured I'd post those last four photos in this blog as well.
It's been a while since I last did a robot photo that featured internal lighting, concentrating more on Steampunk styles for the past few months. However, this new series with Marie will be much more of a cyberpunk/cybergoth style than I've been doing lately.
Prints are available for purchase here.
I am a huge fan of the Cyberpunk genre and the writing of William Gibson in particular, and am always happy to include those influences in my illustration and photographic work. As such, I was really happy to start this soldier series with Jamie (who is herself a big William Gibson fan - in fact, we both saw him speak here in Winnipeg a few years ago before we really knew each other). There will be a few more supernatural influences in this series as it goes along, so I won't be straying too far from the initial inspirations for my gothic photography.
Prints of this can be purchased at this link.
Another cybergoth picture of Marie. This one is a lot more overt, more sexual than most of my work, but I think it really works here. She's got a great harsh attitude that I think really sells the piece.
Prints available here.
There are a lot of fun storytelling ideas going on in this photo, including one element I'm curious to see how many people pick up on. And Jamie continues to be happy with her cybernetic arm in this series.

A Couple Of Recent Photos
This is Marie, from a shoot we did a few days ago. We got together with the idea of doing a cybergoth photoshoot, and ended up adding in some work with that pellet gun. She was really inspired by using it, leading directly to...
...the shoot I did this evening with Jamie. We had been planning on doing a more action-based shoot, and decided to play with the same weapon in her shoot. I'll be posting finished photos from these two shoots in the coming weeks in my Gothic Photography blog.
