Photographer: =RaeyenIrael-Stock
Weapons courtesy of ~Blakava-stock
DISCLAIMER: I was strongly advised against doing anything other than standing and posing with the bow. Especially not trying to do a mid-jump pose with it. But, when I have an idea in my head I generally am deaf to all advice, but that's because I am an idiot and parttime applicant for the Darwin Awards. DO NOT TRY THAT AT HOME.
I'm not going to lie to you, I was gutted when I had to take those ears off. But, I only did so several hours after the shoot.
I was so excited to do it aswell, the costume isn't the best, cause the majority of it I made myself. I was annoyed that the collar didn't stay upright, but I did buy only very cheap material. It didn't help that I only got a new sewing machine until the night before this shoot. The old one finally packed in and gave up the fight (I googled the serial number aswell. Half of that tunic was made using a 76year old Singer.)
The boots and the vambraces were made completely by hand.

you cant really see the way i was holding it. but there was no way i was letting go of that arrow, it also wasnt notched. so the only way it would have gotten away from me was if i dropped it.Β
also, i've been jumping off those dunes since i was a little kid, so i was pretty sure of my landings too, and didn't trip. all the same, i was very aware that it could go wrong, so i was very careful. (also, the arrows were blunt. all the weapons in my shoots were borrowed off my friend who does reenactment)

so you did not hurt yourself? great
then keep on rockin... ehm duning.... no.... shooting ^^
and did you try archery afterwards? great sport
(i think your people actually made it a sport thats being done around the world...)
your friend is then a very happy guy that he has such a flamboyant and energetic girlfriend congratulate him on that
(I hope flamboyant is positive, it is ment positive english aint my first language but I get the feeling it will be my last...)

Ah. See, it's the sand dunes with the wind turbines out at sea. Looks just like Talacre Beach by me [link]

Yes, you did a jump with a bow, and it could've been a little dangerous. But you had the safety on, so it was okay.

This is a lovely and dynamic image. It needs to be painted or drawn or something, it is just too good.
Your idea for the mid-jump pose is very good indeed.

Taking into account The length of the bow that will hit the ground when you landed...DOWN HILL!?!?!?!?
Not to mention Posing in MIDFLIGHT!!!
Bravo
I must say I always enjoy your work, great stock!
BTW I used your stock [link] for the Steampunk contest...Thanks you were great to work with

pain in the arse to pose like that though, but i was determined.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yea but you have a lot of poses like that, I'm a photographer and those poses are not easy.. Especially the timing for the facial expressions.
Keep it up You have some great stuff! I had a hard time choosing because you had so much I wanted...

yeeeah, i love action poses though. i love photos with movement in them, even though they're a bugger to do and i have to have someone with me. the rest of the time it's just me on my own with my self timer. >.<

Well if I'm ever in the uk we can go out and take pictures till we drop..
