The variations of Goth

The term “Goth” is pretty generic.

It tends to conjure up certain images for the typical, mainstream individual. However, as a photographer who spends a lot of time working with alternative models, I can assure you that there are a number of different sub-cultures within the larger category we typical define as Goth.  These sub-sections each tend to have a cool, artistic style of their own. With that being said, I give you a few of the many faces of the Gothic community.

Silhouettes

As a photographer…

one of my favorite artsy types of shots to work with is the classic silhouette.

Perhaps it has something to do with the element of mystery behind the shadows and shading.  Maybe it’s the fact that most are gone in black and white and I’m a sucker for grayscale work. whatever the case may be, I truly love working with this particular style of photography.

That being the case, I have included some of my silhouette work below. I hope you enjoy them.
