Seraphim is really enjoying her new photographic pursuit…

… she loves setting these little scenes up, and it’s a great way to remember where everything in her vast inventory is.

Seraphim, whose style/interests are continually evolving, felt like trying something totally new… obviously, the desire must have been percolating for a while, but it hadn’t been a conscious one, she just suddenly thought it would be interesting to try one of those cool still-life/tableau shots so many excellent SL photographers do. Seraphim has always liked those works by others, but never felt the desire to make one, herself, mainly because she was totally into gynoid photography. Anyway, she decided to try one. Seraphim has a ton of beautiful treasures and dozens of photography backdrops from which to choose, so she set about creating one of these works…

… the first thing she found was something she had always suspected; these pieces take a LOT of work! The second thing she found was… it’s REALLY enjoyable! She found setting this shot up to be almost zen-like in it’s need for attention to composition/detail/content. The third thing she found was that, she may never have done one of these before, but she’s still herself, and her tastes are still slightly less mainstream than other peoples…

… she couldn’t keep her dark humour out of this shot, and didn’t try. There is no deep message in this work, it is just a composition that evolved organically, as Seraphim placed objects that came to mind, thinking ‘what would go with that?’ at each new placement/slight rearrangement…

… she also found she could not do a single, complete shot… her love of closeup photography, and her love of the 6-8 image post format she usually does, over-ruled the single shot concept…

… and that was fine, she was having a LOT of fun…

… this is just the first of this new style, expect more (:
