Forever Beautifulby ~HouseOfGimp

Photography / People & Portraits / Body Art

Finally, some work that I can display after my extended hiatus.

Having been working in live music photojournalism the last few months, I've not had time to really photograph anything else, and I am not permitted to display any images taken while working on sites like dA because of that lovely little thing called art theft.

It's also why I now watermark, having fallen victim to it.

It was nice to get back to my roots and do a proper shoot today after so long. Friends of mine were kind enough to let me borrow them to update/rework my portfolio, as I wanted to do a tattoo focused shoot - something I haven't really done before.

UPDATE: Wow, my first DD!!! Thank you so very much. I didn't think I would get one of those babies. Quite a humbling feeling, really.
Much, much, much, MUUUUUUCH love!

No problem! It just supports the thought that inspiration can come from anywhere.

~HouseOfGimp Feb 15, 2012

Inspiration really CAN come from anywhere. At least it does for me. I rarely get inspiration from amazing pieces of work, but from the smallest, simplest, everyday things.

My inspiration for the tattoo shoot I did with my two friends was simply from one of the mothers at my son's school looking at my tatts in a negative way. And I instantly wanted to do a shoot that was focussed on tattoos, and how they can be beautiful - as well as the people who get them.
