Scylla Rhiadra Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 So, it has been suggested that maybe we need a thread here for the posting of pics that don't neatly fit into the My Avatar picture threads, or some of the other categories here. Such pics might be more "figurative," abstract, surreal, or experimental. Or they might just be focused more upon composition, colour, or lighting than other representational aspects -- I don't think we need or want a tight definition of the things that might fit here. Rather, you decide if this thread is a good home for your picture! I'll start. 25 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been desperately wanting somewhere to post my more experimental photos but wasn't sure if it's been done (and failed) before or nah. ❤️And I agree - I feel like all art should be welcome here - whether avatar-focused or landscapes or what - just go nuts! Your photo is lovely by the way! I'll dig through my archives and post something here in a bit. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayashe Ninetails Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 The more I look through my older photos, the more I realize this type of thread is going to reveal a whoooole lot about how my brain works. 😂 Welp, I asked for it, so onward! This shot came about by randomly asking myself one afternoon how possible it'd be to create a "failed séance" scene (as one does) from scratch using bits and pieces from within the inner depths of my furniture/décor and props inventory. I cheated a bit - had to do a teensy bit of shopping to complete it (needed the table!). 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeahhhhhh...about that. 😂 Rest assured - I can't tolerate horror movies/games or anything gruesome, so there won't be anything THAT terrifying. Just...ya know...maybe mildly...strange... I do read horror books, though... hmmm... *saves her Burroughs/Cronenberg-inspired scenes for later...* 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the bulk of what I do when left to my own devices, but I always find myself switching back to fashion photography because I tell myself "who wants to see a bunch of 'what the hell?'" experimental photography on Flickr. I mean, looking at my Flickr feed/dashboard, it's mostly people posting looks of the day and not-so-subtle adult content. 😂 Surely we aren't the only two who like to experiment with SL photography beyond fashion, selfies, and basic landscapes, though!

Joaannna Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 (edited) It seems people like ghostly stories, a couple here that show my creepier side The first was at a Halloween build at Elysion, my sort of take on the Exorcist and the second more tasteful is at one of Serene Footmans sims, not there any more sadly, Black Bayou oh! and if anyone wants to see my take on Psycho, please ask. Norma Bates anyone? Edited July 27, 2022 by Joaannna 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayashe Ninetails Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 You guyyyys, your photos are so good! ❤️ So, I randomly remembered Scylla mentioning B&W photography in the other thread and it reminded me of this shoot I did and never posted anywhere. It was mostly a test shoot anyway - I had just started using particles as props, so I wanted to do some test runs (do not recommend unless you have a TON of patience because there WILL be shenanigans - the number of times I smoked my whole platform out tinkering with those scripts omg 😂). Anyhoo, as for the subject matter, the shot is directly inspired by Anna von Hausswolff's song/video "The Mysterious Disappearance of Electra." It's also what gave me the idea to crash my whole si...I mean start working with particles more seriously. I'd done it before with bigger swirls and confetti-like effects, but it's a whole project to wrangle some fog and get it to behave long enough to take the dang shot! Btw, if you don't know the song/music video, you should look it up, cuz it's good! 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joaannna Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Particles are fun, I went a bit overboard on this one smoke, rain and even laser beams. Taken for a competition at The Shambles which is well worth a visit 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceka Cianci Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 I went to install Photoshop Elements and ended up finding I already had it installed, That's how long it's been since I used it..hehehehe This was more just warm up, feeling my way around it again, plus trying to get used to Black Dragon.

JeromFranzic Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 I edit in Gimp, and sometimes in Krita. I don't always have a PC handy so I'll transfer a few PNGs and JPGs onto my phone. This is the result of a few quick edits on my Android phone, using two editing apps. Not the best IMO but fun to mess with. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
