Dark Portraits from Mark Macready VIP Launch Party
I had a great time at the VIP launch party for ‘Mark Macready and the Arch Angel Murders’ movie premier. It’s a fantastic film and it has some comedy elements in that will make you laugh. All of the actors were fantastic and if you haven’t seen the film yet, please head on over to the Arch Angel Murders website by clicking here.
Following on from the movie, there will be an animated web series, which will premier in August 2010. I can’t wait to see this.
I loved meeting friends from Twitter and having the opportunity to capture their soul by taking their dark portrait. Unfortunately, I couldn’t have done a dark portrait for everyone.
Rachel aka @lipstattoo666
Check out Rachel eyes. She was brilliant at posing and it was a real pleasure meeting her. She’s lovely in person and you should have seen her red shoes. They were mental! I’d break my neck trying to walk in them. Rachel also gave me a severed finger and some button badges that now take pride of place on my handbag. Seriously, check out her store by clicking here.

Personally, I prefer the black and white version above, but I know Rachel loves the colour below as she is now using it as her avatar on Twitter.

Steve aka @HorrorExtreme
OMG! Steve picked up a Twitter award at the party for the most gross posts on Twitter. He’s such a wonderful character and I’m glad that I met him. He also runs the website HorrorExtreme.com, which you should pay a visit if you like extreme horror.
What do you think of his dark portrait below?

Tom aka @ThatHorrorThing
It was nice meeting Tom and he presented me with a challenge for his dark portrait. He wanted the shadow from his forehead to be cast over his eyes and it wasn’t easy considering the location and my intake of Macready cocktails. Tom is a horror columnist and a podcaster over at Geek Planet Online.

And now it’s time for the Mark Macready Cast
Nathan Head aka The Arch Angel
It was a great pleasure taking Nathan’s portrait as he got into the spirit of posing. His portrait reminds me of the old Universal Horror portraits and it is definitely one of my favourites.

Paul Newberry aka DCI Doyle
Paul is a lovely guy and I hope he doesn’t take offence, but I wasn’t the only one who thought his pose reminded them of Freddy Krueger. LMAO! Paul can pose for me anytime as he was hilarious.

Ryan McDermott aka Mark Macready
His raised eyebrow had to feature in the dark portrait didn’t it?
Ryan deserves an award for his hard work, great acting skills and for simply being a wonderful guy. He was the perfect host and had time for EVERYONE!
I can’t decide on the colour or the black and white version, so I will leave that to you to decide. I think that Ryan prefers the colour version.


So if you haven’t heard of ‘Mark Macready and the Arch Angel Murders’ your missing out! Please head on over to their website by clicking here and watch the 30 minute movie, then follow the guys and girls above on Twitter and join the Macready family.

In the Shadows Dark Portraits
Here is the first of many joint collaborations titled ‘In the Shadows – Dark Portraits’ between myself and ‘dark, alternative, music, composer’ Tony Longworth.
Tony has composed the dramatic music for this horror photography presentation and hopefully you will agree that it adds a sense of fear, horror and dread when viewing my dark portraits. Tony’s ability to not only compose music, but to create a presentation featuring my horror photography is remarkable.
My daughter who is 19yrs old features a few times and it has given her the creeps.
I encourage you to watch this full screen and in high quality and please provide both Tony and I with feedback.
No one was seriously harmed in the making of this presentation. I just devoured their soul and presented it to you in its true form.
Enjoy!
Thanks to all of you who feature in this presentation. You make excellent models.
