This is the first photo in a series that I'm going to post from my shoot today. I've been thinking about this concept for about a week and I am so happy that I was finally able to shoot it. I am not happy, though, that my camera's sensor is terrible at capturing color in low lighting... I'm not sure how to fix this in photoshop so my face might look a little pixel-y and gross... so sorry about about that.
A huge thank you to Marcie who showed me this amazing location!

This is the first photo in my Greek mythology project which I'm doing for a university class - this one is based on the story of Demeter, the goddess of harvest. The odds were all against me whilst I was shooting this - I got to the location to find I didn't have the part that attached my camera to my tripod with me and that my remote wasn't working properly. I ended up securing my camera to the tripod with hair bobbles and putting it on a 10 second timer after guessing with manual focus where I'd be stood. I really thought it'd all fail and I can't believe I've managed to pull something from it that I'm so proud of.

After one entire year, this is my new image.
It was made for my baby son, Dimitri, to all the beauty he brought to my life. His name is a russian variant of Demetrius – tribute to Demeter, the greek Goddess of fertility, the "Earth-Mother". This image is also dedicated for my new adventure of becoming a mother. She is the Goddess of materinty.
Congratulations 'ANDI2..too sad to flickr' & 'Desmo Dave!' you're right!
We can find a lot of references associated with Demeter's myth in this image. The wheat, the corn, the red poppy flower, and the grou are her symbols. The pomegranate is the food of the underground, which Hades gave to her daughter, Persephone – that was how she become the consort of the Underworld God.
You can find more of this beautiful myth at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demeter
This image was made with the gentle contribution of the pictures of wikimedia commons and 'Eric in SF' [check out his stunning photostream www.flickr.com/photos/ericinsf/sets/203243/ – thank you, Eric, for the permission of using your fabulous images!].
Somehow, Eric's and wikimedia photos online and it's usage permission are a symbol of fertility and abundance on the internet. World continues to be rich, even these days. i am grateful.
It is a very important image for me, hope you guys like the final result.

The "Ninnion tablet" is dedicated by a woman named "Ninnion" "toin theoin", or "to the two gods", a use of the dual form to refer to Demeter and Persephone.

Persephone
Demeter’s daughter, barely blossomed,
In sunlit meadow, flowers welcomed.
When caught her eye, a narcissus bloom;
The innocent marker of her tomb.
With no cause for nature to mistrust,
One touch trapped her in a snare of lust.
Forth from the underworld reached Hades,
With greedy fingers his prize to seize.
Down to his realm she was dragged with speed;
Where no living soul could hear her plead.
Though when the crime was brought into light,
Dead ears had more kindly heard her plight.
Zeus in his power cruel ruling made:
Upon this maid Hades had not preyed.
By this fabrication of consent-
Food accepted after the event.
What Hades stole now his by law;
Injustice the gods in silence saw.
Sweet Persephone, your tears are mine,
My mother’s, sister’s, yes all mankind’s.
May they turn the tide of tomorrow,
In which the daughter I’ve yet to know,
Will never learn what it is to fear,
That whilst playing among flowers dear,
Against her will, her own might be plucked.

My go-to-model Alyssa here was going to be leaving for the summer so we decided to do a spur of the moment photo shoot and came up with this in about an hour, depicting the moment in which Hades drags Persephone down to the underworld to be his queen.
I shot a behind the scenes video for this which you can see here and just uploaded a speed edit here

Persephone is a daughter of Zeus and Demeter, she was taken by Hades the God king of the underworld and taken as his majestic queen, as the goddess of death, no one must speak her name. She once lived far away, living with nature, many Gods fell in love and tried to capture her heart. But in the end Hades rapes and steals her away and takes her to the darkest depths of the underworld.
In the end Hades is forced to let her go, Hermes retrieves her, but Hades had got her to eat some pomegranate seeds and because she had tasted the food of the underworld she was required to stay there for the winter months and only return to her mother for 2 thirds of the year.
This shoot has been a dream for a long time. I first stepped foot in this manor house over 2 and a half years ago. I had actually put this shoot together many many months ago but just as the date approached to do it, the house became unable to visit.
For so long I dreamt about this scene, my heart torn apart that I would never be able to make it a reality. But then one day while talking to a friend, I was made aware that it was possible, it wouldnt be easy, but that has never stopped me before.
I was lucky to have an amazing model, Jessica Nicole Griffiths recently arrived in London from Melbourne. She was so up for it, it made me the happiest person alive and with the help of amazing Matthew Adams and Richie Gowen we had made it into the house in pitch darkness, arms full of beautiful gowns made my The Couture Company
During the mission to get inside, Richie had already faceplanted a shallow river as he slipped on the log across it. Poor Rich was freezing cold as we slept in this beautiful abandoned manor house.
Sleeping in such a decaying building, with the bitter cold coming through the windows and dust coating the floor, it was a test of endurance, but worth it when the sun finally came up and revealed the beautiful house ready for us to get these photos.
I'm so happy I made this a reality finally.

In ancient Greek mythology, the Demeter and Persephone story tells of the deep connection a mother shares with her daughter. It also tells the story of a young girl who comes of age and falls in love with the dark god of the underworld. It’s a story about love, relationships, family bonds, grief, loss, and a renewal of hope.
Persephone left Olympus again, to return to Hades, and her mother punishes the world with her grief.

Just a quicky on mythology, for those who aren't familiar with this myth. The world lived in a perpetual state of spring. Pretty cool. Then Hades, the keeper/king/whatever of the underworld, saw the maiden Persephone butterflying around some field some day and obviously fell in love.
Then what happened? What always happened back then: the God kidnapped the kiddo. Her mother Demeter, the goddess of grain and fertility, the preserver of marriage and sacred law, got mad as hell and set off in furious anger after the Mr. you're-so-dead guy who kidnapped her daughter. The fact she didn't have an idea of who had done it wouldn't make a difference for her, but she grew tired of that joke and decided to make everybody suffer too.
So she stopped giving all the goodies to the world like crops, sun, flowers, and started to pour hail and snow on everybody. That should teach'em all. But since everything was dying, the other Gods told Demeter to move on, these things can happen to anyone. She got pissed off and yelled: "Silence!!! I KILL you!!", Helios, the sun, got scared and *finally* decided to tell the Goddess what had happened. Everybody gave him a stinky eye, as meaning: "why didn't you tell her before?".
But Hades was plotting something to make sure his dear now-wife wouldn't go back to those poshy gods up Olympus and tried to make her eat something. Because if you eat something down the underworld you remain there. Since Persephone was starving after many months without eating anything, it was hard to deny all those four seeds of pomegranade.
Persephone was eating it all when Hermes arrived to rescue her and shouted: "Watchoo doing, Woman?!?! I don't believe you're eating his food!! Don't you read about mythology? Don't you know you can't do such? GOSH!!", then he slapped her hands (bistecaaaaa!!! HAHAHAHA!!) and the last seed fell on some hole never to be found again.
This meant the following: each seed was a set of 3 months of the year, that would force her to stay with Hades (4 seeds x 3 months = a whole year stuck in that dull place), but since she didn't eat the last one, she got to visit her mother 3 months per year, which made her so happy that the world bloomed again = spring.
The following seasons mirrored the mother's mood about the abduction. The End.

So, this is my first HDR, or better saying, my first photo edited on photomatix. Thanks to Fernando and Alexandre, always ;-)
It's super saturated, I know, but I liked the golden effect, so I decided to keep it this way.
I've edited another photo, a bit different, that I just enhanced the details, thus making its colors closer to real, and the final result is "riveting" hehe. I can't wait to upload it, I'm sure most people will like that.
Almost every saturday I go to the Costas' farm, to hang around with them, and I never take a camera with me. This saturday I decided to take one, and go for a walk, to take pictures while the guys were playing soccer.
I did so, because Yives said he wanted to see some landscapes photos from me, and I do like to take landscape photos, they are much easier than self portraits, just I usually take such photos when I hit the road... my city doesn't help much with its scapes.
This shows that I gotta pay more atention to my surroundings... I've seen this place more times than I can remember and never thought about taking photos there. And I got lucky too, there's rain to be seen by a far.
Not many plants change colors in fall here in brazil - this is a soy plantation - it was looking fabulous under the sun, and I had to walk a lot in the middle of it to get to this exact site. At some point the plants were as tall as my ribs. Later on my butt started to itch!! Desperately!! I left the farm at 2 am, so you calculate how long I suffered.
I thought I was going to get some allergic reaction, but luckily a bath solved the problem :P
ok... unnecessary information hehehe.
