There are never enough hours in a day, but always too many days before Saturday

Well, I blinked and another year has gone by! I don't even know how it is possible - but the dates stamps do not lie...

We are still here - though you would not know it from our upload history, or ability to reply to comments! Not to mention the Daily Deviation that we somehow managed to miss completely... thank you all, once again, for your fantastic comments - it's lovely to read them, even if it is three months too late!

We have each been busy out in the world and have discovered that finding days where our free time matches up has been almost impossible; but it's been far too long.

Recently, we received an email from a regular watcher (Torqual) and were fortunate enough to have 1/2 a day free, the 'costumes' on hand for his request and a sudden desire to jump back into a shoot. It's a little different from our usuals - Torqual was after some action shots to make into some manner of comic-strip, and he was sole photographer (we've never done that before - it was difficult not to 'direct' the shoot) but it turned out pretty well :)

It was also a lot of fun and has reignited our stock shooting ambitions! If nothing drastic occurs, we hope to be able to arrange a few shoots before the end of this year and even start on some new costumes.

Deciding what to do with the time that is given us

May 8, 2013
Well hello there deviants.We've taken the time to complete a few new shoots and revisit a few old ones over the past two months. The title of this post probably gives you a hint for what one of the shoots will be (if you're not a cryptic person, we've put up the first image too). The full quote is "All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us" and for us, that means we'll gradually trawl through the horde of photos we took to upload the best. Please forgive us if this takes a while - we both try to spend as much time as we can on this but ultimately it is a hobby that is often overrun by our other lives.We went to New...

Mutiny on the Gold Coast

Jul 11, 2010
After a small hiatus from costumes and photography, we're back – this time swaggering into the salt-drenched world of pirates, swordplay and sand, savvy? Capt'n Chiaki, the Pirate Witch (wench? Ha!) Nasrin and a guest appearance by potential Mutineer E make up the cast of our latest escapades. And what better place to search for treasure than at the Gold Coast's Currumbin Beach and Rockpools? With the help of a friend standing in to hold lighting stands/reflectors (thanks, Grip!) the afternoon was a little more easy-going than some of our shoots (usually, there is just the two of us and any pictures with both of us in them involve time...

Stock Usage Guidelines

Jul 11, 2010
Basically, both myself and Nasrin fail at regular DeviantArt checking, so we'd like to make using our stock as easy and clear cut as possible.First off; "We give all DeviantArt users permission to use our stock in any and all Deviant Prints without restriction."The conditions we place on the use of our stock are: 1) Please credit us appropriately, with a link back to the stock used, or our main page, if published online. If it is not online, please credit however possible - nothing big, just enough to acknowledge the contribution our work has made.2) Please send us a link to your Deviation/work so we can see what you've created - either in...

A long awaited explanation....

Nov 7, 2008
Over the past month we have had more than a few questions regarding our latest photo shoot. We like to write our explanation notes at the same time as we put a new set of stock photos up - but I seem to have missed the last two!I have no excuses - time is flying by at the moment - I can't believe it's nearly Christmas already! So finally, I'm going to put up the explanation!These shoots were Nasrin's idea - she cajoled me into travelling some 9 hours out of the city - 'straight west to find some red dirt' as she put it, I think. Actually, that's not quite right - she wanted to go much further than we did, but we didn't have the time to go ...
