Considering it deals with suicide and death, this should be rated adult.

Oh I hadn't thought of that. Thank you I will change that.

Thanks.
It is a nice photo, good depth of field.

Thank you :)

probably not wise. according to the aup "Photography may not be rated higher than General".

Now I'm so unsure of what to rate this image D: I mean...it is a doll so I don't see a huge issue with it being general >.<

i know, it can get confusing when you've got odd rules along with users & admins who like to put far too much emphasis on the minutia. to the average person, it's clear you are not posting anything unreasonable, so hopefully it wont matter. i was just letting you know what the aup states, as it's tripped me up before as well.

Would you be able to direct me so some of her photography please?
I'm useless at this haha

Of course! She is actually a bit difficult to find on the web because she is a self-tought photographer in a very unique field.

Thank you!
Your stuff is awesome :3

Thank you very much. Lots more to come I promise! Also I hope you like Clayton's work...I really love it!

I actually do, I've never really seen anything like this done before!
Thank you for sharing such awesomeness with us :D

How deliciously bleak, very well shot. I'm really liking your photographic style with these black and white shots, you're capturing a lot of stuff I identify with in my writing subject matter, when I come to put my album booklet together next year I'll probably come ask you for some photo work xx

Thank you! I'd really love to do some album work for you hun <3

what sort of rates do you charge for freelance photo work darling?

That entirely depend on the size of the project to be honest. But to give you a basic idea I normally charge the cost of any supplies I have to buy for the shoot, a base charge of $50 dollars for the first hour of shooting, then $8.00 an hour for any time after that I spend on shooting and editing, then because you are so far away I would sell you the copyright to the RAW and edited images which ranges on the size of the project. But I might be willing to wave that fee for you :)

That sounds very reasonable to me I haven't settled on a definite theme for the full album art/photography direction just yet but really loving the black and white shots you've been doing lately, especially the spooky building shots and ones like this. I'd love to work with you on this next year when it's all ready to go :3 <3
