Blue Alien Pinup

After a couple of years of not shooting at all (depression is great eh?), I got back into the studio with my friend/model @formaldehyde_princess. We wanted to do something fun and relatively simple to sort of get my creative engine going again. We had a blast shooting, chatting, jamming to some tunes, and got some great photos too. It felt really good to be creative again, and we’re going to do a pink/yellow alien shoot later this month.
