If you’re new to my blog and photography, I met Rachel aka @lipstattoo666 in person at the official VIP launch party of Mark Macready and the Arch Angel Murders in Manchester.  She had told me previously that she would love a dark portrait and this ‘B’ style movie poster is the finished result.

I’ve had a couple of people ask me if they can send me an image and then I turn it into a dark portrait.  Unfortunately, I have to take the portrait otherwise it wouldn’t be my photography.  I’m hoping to get out and about more and I will let you know what events I’ll be attending in the future.

If you would like a dark portrait or you would like me to attend your event, please contact me to discuss further.

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.

LipsTattoo’s Favourite Photograph

"I found it quite hard to choose a single favourite photograph of Amanda’s beautiful work. At first I was instantly grabbed by the Strawberry massacre, just because I enjoyed the juxtaposition of the harsh man-made steel grater and the soft bleeding flesh of the strawberries, But my actual official choice is Vamp DeeDee.

Cats by their nature tend to be very laid back and refined animals, but Amanda has managed to catch what looks like a primal scream from this beautiful feline, its a very striking shot and reminds me of the Lucio Fulci film Black Cat (Gatto Nero).

This incredibly intense photo had my eyes locked to the screen, entranced at the power and alluring beauty that has been caught on film thanks to Amanda’s wonderful talent."

I don’t take many photos of our two cats and perhaps I should after Lipstattoo’s lovely feedback.  I have another photograph of DeeDee (below) that I will send to Lips as a gift.
