Helena approached me after I posted about my shoot offer (still a couple of slots left! book now to avoid dissapointment at morgana@iberianblackarts.com) and booked the shoot to match with her trip to UK.

We discussed beforehand about doing a bright eye look, to match the gorgeous Pin-up Girl Clothing skirt in turquoise blue that she is wearing on the left picture.

Have a look at before and after pictures as well as other images from our shoot in my official makeovers blog!

Last friday I had the stunning 6’2′ and perfectly formed amazon Lady Lucie for a make-over photoshoot at my studio. Lucie is a extremely talented latex designer from London who runs Lady Lucie Latex.

I made her website design and I modeled for her in the past and I have to say her designs are absolutely amazing, and they pull you in all the right places, her clothing is also super reasonably priced and she excels in made to measure both corsets and latex couture, owning a few of her pieces myself.

This was the first time we met in person after being in touch for such a long time, and it makes me glad that I finally had the opportunity to photograph her.

Please check out the rest of the pictures as well as before-after on my blog!

Last week, Jessica-Louise Abidde (best known from cycle 7 of Britain and Ireland next top model) came over to model for me for Kiss Me Deadly lingerie, and at the same time she wanted to get some lovely pictures of a couple of dresses by Albert Martincich, a couture designer from London.

Last Saturday, the Daily Mirror published a supplement entitled “Women who kill” featuring real female murderers. One of the women whose story featured in the supplement was Vera Renczi who killed 35 men, including her son.

The Daily Mirror mistakenly published my self-portrait which I took back in 2004 and was up on my Deviant Art page, instead of a real picture of Vera Renczi. Needless to say I was in shock to be featured amongst all these horrible real life murderers!

My picture was both on the cover of the national newspaper, the cover of the supplement, and a full double page spread about said murderer, and I can assure you, I haven’t killed anyone, and I am definitively not a murderer!

I am extremely overwhelmed about all the support from people about this and all the re-tweets from journalists all over the place, including Charlie Brooker who re-tweeted my post to nearly half a million followers. I’m really thankful for your support and comments, and since there has been many people asking to see the apology and the images I thought I would do a blog post talking about it directly (as there has been a few around the net already posting about it).

The Daily Mirror has printed today a public apology on page 2 of the paper. And a reasonable compensation is coming my way soon (my lawyer informed me). So as soon as that settles, I can say the case will then be closed and done with.

Check it all out on my photography blog here.

Yesterday I did a portrait photo session with my friend Jill Liebisch (click on her name to go to her modelmayhem) she was after some interesting avantgarde makeup portraits.

We got inspired by the beautiful gothic dolls and decided on this striking look.

Remember that make-over shoot competition from Kiss Me Deadly back in November?

Finally we got a winner! Sebrina Wareham from Bristol, and the shoot took place last Monday at my little studio, where all the Kiss Me Deadly magic happens.

Read all about it, and see before and after shots on my new blog:

If you would like to come to my studio, appear on my blog and have a photoshoot makeover looking your best, all you have to do is send me an email with the tittle “make-over shoot” and book it in! All inquiries are most welcome!

I haven’t been posting a lot of updates over this site, though I have been really busy with photoshoots. While I don’t mention it on here a lot of my bookings are both for modeling and photography at the same time, and as I don’t want this website to be a collection of pictures of myself, I only post those updates on my modeling site Threnody In Velvet.

The Kiss Me Deadly make-over photoshoot is now in the works, and hopefully there will be a nice blog about it. It’s set to happen on the 5th of march and I am looking forward to it. Make-over shoots are so much fun, and confidence boosting, I always aim to get the best of my lovely clients.

Part of the shoots I do are for private clients, so I don’t get to post them here either! If you are looking to have some pictures for your loved one as a present, or just want some beautiful photos looking your best, you can have complete confidence to book a shoot that’s going to be for your eyes only (or whom you choose to see). I’m also happy to shoot couples, profile pictures, Actor headshots… if you can imagine it, I’m pretty sure I can make it happen. Just send me an inquiry to morgana@iberianblackarts.com

Check out my cover + 8 Page spread on the new issue of Bowens Litebook, featuring my work in front and behind the camera for Puimond progressive corset design, Girl Armour, Diablo Swing Orchestra, Imperial Vengeance, Miss Katie, Audra Jean Leather Accessories, FairyGothMother / Lulu and Lush, Royal Black Couture & Corsetry and Kiss Me Deadly.

Finally! the Iberian Black Arts site got a revamp, which now should be suitable for browsing with phones and ipads too as I got rid of the flash galleries.

I have included a before/after rollover retouching section but I will be building that up overtime (Although I would love to, I wouldn’t want to offend any of my clients by putting any without previous consent!).

There is also plenty of new pictures on all the galleries for you to browse at. Also, now if you book in a shoot with me you will get lots of discounts/vouchers with some of my favourite brands so you can get in gear for our shoot! And to celebrate, here is a competition!
