Coming this Friday, my collection of fish Pronouns pins has expanded! (With a restock of Manta Ray They)
So excited to round out the group, which one is your favorite? 🐠
(Begin ID: On a blue Marque board are 9 wooden pins with different sea animals on them. She/Her Oarfish, He/Him Sunfish, They/Them Manta Ray, Xe/Xem Sailfish, She/Her Leafy Seadragon, He/They Ribbon Eel, It/Its cuttlefish, No Pronouns Blue Spotted Stingray, and No Pronouns Moonfish. End ID.)
I love all that’s otherworldly and fantasy. Ever since I was a child I’ve escaped into the worlds hidden between the pages of books and now when given reign to express myself I find myself recreating those same worlds that I used to lose myself in. Tales of strong, independent women, creatures from another time, and the promise of adventure. Like an unfolding story, with each picture I try to evolve and push myself along unfamiliar paths.
Creating pictures like this remind me just how much I love photography. We created a moment where I had a real life siren in front of me… it was so strange and bizarre… and magical. I want to capture images like this and live in these magic lands forever.
I shot this with a Phase One camera that the company kindly loaned to Pratik and I. Here are the details for the kit I used - 645DF+ body, IQ250 back, lens 80mm f2.8
