#RedMyLips #2

Sexual violence in our culture exist for many reasons, but one thing is for sure that it is not and never will be the victims fault!!!

People have the right to wear whatever the hell they like, and just because they choose to wear something which some person finds provocative does not give that person the right to force sexual violence on another.

We are not animals, who have control over our actions and we are held accountable for those. Shifting the blame to someone else because of our actions is just plain wrong.

Red My Lips (http://redmylips.org/) is about awareness, and about educating and changing culture and putting the responsibility back onto the people which deserve it…..  and that my friends is the people that perform these acts on others. The spineless people seek pleasure and power by controlling others.

Please share this image to create awareness and change culture.

Red My Lips!!!!! – #RedMyLips

The month of April is about raising awareness that sexual violence and victim-blaming is NOT OK!!!!

To do that RedMyLips.org run a month long campaign where you are encourage to wear red lipstick and throw a couple of bucks their way.  When I found out about this I put the call out to my friends to see if anyone would be involved in a photo shoot where they get to wear red lippy and show the world they stand together against sexual violence and victim-blaming.

This in itself raised awareness and I amassed a small army of people ready to get their photos taken…  To all of which I am very grateful for not only their time but their commitment in supporting such a cause as short notice.

This is the first of these images…..  So sit back and watch them over the course of the rest of April…

#RedMyLips – 2015

The beauty of the forest!

As she walked through the pines, she thought about the love that was lost. The crackling of the leaves and twigs below her feet echoed through the narrow pathways that led her not only through the labyrinth of the forest but also gave her some comfort the progress was being made.

Fresh pine allowed for the clearing of the senses that heightened her connection with the beauty that surrounded her, as she drifted in and out of her conscious mind.

What was it that she was thinking about?  Where was she going and where did she want to be?

The glitter Queen

I’m not sure how many of you out there have actually worked with glitter, but I can tell you, that it gets everywhere!

Gets in your hair, gets on the tables, it gets on carpet, it gets on the camera, it gets on the backdrop, it gets in your fingernails, and it gets all over your model.

This was a concept shoot which I have to admit turned out so much better than what will trying to go for. The colour and the make up along with the hair on the backdrop on the ground just really made it for me. It has lots of depth and dimension along with drama and beauty.

It really is one of my better shots I think.

What do you think?
