Gothic photography part 2


Gothic photography part 2

       ( one of the inspired Gothic photograph I found on web and author is unknown used to illustrate         how the models can be use in Gothic photography )

if you already started doing Gothic photography and you have the knowledge of what it is , lets discuss some cool ideas that can enhance the Gothic arts , and this little blog post is mostly inspired from the article that I found in BrightHub , and credit should goes to Chrissy Dean, Rhonda Callow for the Original writer and the editor.


Using Models in Goth Photography


Adding models is the next step in learning goth photography. When doing this, you need to decide how much focus you will want on your model. Do want them to blend into the background to add to the overall effect, or do you want the whole image to be about them, making them stand out? With answers to these questions, you can decide on colors, clothing style, and hair and makeup for your model.

When introducing models into your photography, take many, many shots. Try as many different angles, light sources, expressions, and poses as you can think of. It is not uncommon for a photographer to take a few hundred photos of their subject just to capture about a dozen “perfect” shots. Playing with different filters like sepia tone can also change your effect and the entire image.

Nature in Goth Photography






Other subjects can be used to break from stereotypical goth photography, as well. Experimenting with elements found in nature can add depth and interest to otherwise formulaic shots. Some examples include gnarled or dead trees, macro shots of spiderwebs and spiders, and even mangy or emaciated animals. Some of the best animals to consider are the ones which create fear naturally, such as wolves or birds of prey.

To see fine examples of all these elements together, you can visit the artist Viona’s website. Or for a wider selection from many Gothic photographers, check out the goth photos at this website. Taking notes of the styles and imagery which appeals to you can help you identify and develop your own style and talent.

Being a Gothic Photographer



Being a Gothic photographer does not necessarily make one morbid or depressed, but many social stigmas and misunderstandings will cause you to be labeled this way. Many shy away from this type of photography, both as artists and audience because of imagery and beliefs they already have of the style. The goth subculture tends to go to great lengths to portray dark, sad, and disturbed individuals.


Seeing beauty in isolation, and identifying yourself as a Gothic photographer can have negative effects on others' opinion of you, and you must work hard to overcome these predispositions. If it is something you are passionate about though, keep working and honing your skills to show your audience what you see in the darker side of life as beautiful, rather than scary.
