Stiff, uncomfortable pose, a tad threatening, ready to spring to life.
Art can be damn liberating. An oasis where you can share what you see, limited only by your ability. Not the confines of someone else’s box. Not what the weight of the world has thrown at you today. This piece is one of the more meaningful ones to me because where somatic woe mentally takes a toll, pixels allow you to build a world outside of pain and fear. Build an avatar. A place where you’re free to be comfortable in your freaky skin >:D.

“In the most southern part of the island was a forest called The Hungry Woods. There was a creature that resided in The Hungry Woods that was feared by all. However, because no one who ventured there had ever returned, little was known of the beast. All that was known was that the forest floor was littered with enormous pine cones. Everyone had their guesses as to the origin of the pine cones, but no one knew for sure.
The daughter of a soldier who fell victim to the woods vowed to find her father and sought the help of a powerful enchantress. She was given a crown made of sticks that had been collected from the outskirts of The Hungry Woods. Although it looked quite awkward, the enchantress promised she would not be seen by anything living in The Hungry Woods as long as she wore it. She placed it atop her head and set out to find her father.
As she walked deeper and deeper into the forest, she passed more and more of the infamous pine cones. She felt a strange connection to them, as if she had some sort of relationship with them that she could not understand. Several hundred feet later and she could feel the presence of her father somewhere near. In front of her was a cluster of pine cones, one of which was pulling her heart towards it. She approached and put her hand on its dry bark, then stumbled backwards with horror.
The pine cones did not fall from some tree in the heavens. They were people, turned by the magic some demonic forest demon. She collapsed against a tree and stared at what her father had become, forsaking the gods she grew up praising.” -M.D. Walter

"On the day of her lord's promised return, she scaled the highest bluff in the valley even before the sun had risen. Just as dawn was breaking, she saw the brilliant flash and a streak of flame cut across the sky. Her faith rewarded, she tracked the object's flight across the hills and plains. As she grew nearer, the blood ruby on her necklace pulsed with increasing strength and frequency. Finally, she found what she was searching for in a small blackened crater near several sizzling bushes - the femur bone of her God.
The bones continued to blaze through the sky like an eternal shower of meteors. Diligently she ran from crater to crater, collecting the fallen bones in her wicker basket enchanted with a powerful incantation of protection. As the day passed, the basket became heavy with remains. An ominous glow began to emanate from within that grew with each of her additions.
With barely an hour left of daylight, she had successfully collected all the bones except for the skull. Despite its absence, she could feel her lord returning to her. His voice could be heard - at first a whisper in the blowing grasp but soon it echoed in her ears. The smell of fire and soot filled her nose and she become filled with Him, almost possessed by his approaching presence. Desperately and impatiently, she awaited the final piece to return from the Heavens.” -M.D.Walter

A video that describes the basic production of a fine art, surrealistic photograph and the way that I post process. I vaguely cover the steps it took to get from the beginning to "Lady and the last flower" to the final steps.
To give a synopsis:
I use curves to change the overall tones
Gradient map to adjust the blacks and whites
Selective color to edit specific colors
I hope this helps give a little insight on the creation of my images! If you have any questions please leave them in the comments... Happy creating!
Also, Jenna Martin and I released our underwater photography workshop information! Click here to see all the details! We will be on the Catalina Islands for a weekend teaching all the ins and outs of underwater surrealism and fine art. Hope to see you there! Message me if you have any questions!
