is the photo ‘I’m an extraordinary machine’ inspired by someone you were in love with? i used to be in an abusive relationship… your photo makes me cry every time i see it.
It’s a little bit dedicated to an ex;
and a lottt dedicated to my struggle with life in general.
I’m SO sorry you had to go through that,
every situation is different, and I don’t compare;
I just know I wouldn’t wish that sort of cruelty, or heartbreak I dealt with, on any one.

You’re one of my highest inspirations <3
I just got all giddy when I read that!!! ^.^ I want to bake you cookies and hug you!!! It’s crazyyy for me to comprehend I actually really do inspire people, and when they tell me it’s so surreal and fabulous!
Thank you, supporters like you keep me smiling and wanting to photograph, even while laying in a hospital bed. :p <3

Do you have any tips on poses for photographs? For self-portraits and for getting other people to pose.
Make sure your camera is always slightly above the face; shooting from too low distorts faces and images of your nostrils are never what anyone wants! :p
Remember to keep eyes in line with the camera. If the face is straight towards the camera, your eyes should be too, unless you’re going for a cute personality pose, or looking at something way off to the side; it’ll look creepy and only be a distraction to the viewer. If you’re facing the camera, eyes towards the camera. If you’re facing left, eyes, to the left. ^.^
Details are important, watch what the hands are doing, and feet, if they’re in the shot. Woman’s hands should always be delicate and lady-like..fingers, together. Claws can ruin photos! :x :p If you’re shooting groups, tall people in back! Short in front! We don’t want to lose anyone!
Don’t be afraid to actually MOVE your model/client either, just tell them first, and be gentle! They won’t mind if it means they’ll look better! :D
CROP UNNECESSARY THINGS; there can be a lot of things that take away from your photo, and this is a common problem; I see a photo that would be PERFECT, if only the photographer cropped out that finger, or, their dirty underwear thrown on the floor in the background. :|
Once I have the energy, I’ll be shooting good&bad examples of posing, focusing, lighting, & bokeh. Keep an eye on my blogspot!

Speaking of girly things… I noticed you love make-up and that you like to use in artistic way :) I’d like to ask you: which are your 5 favourite products (name and brand)? And, also, have you some tips for photographic make up? Thank you!
Oh I’m a sucker for ANY makeup, really!!!! I’m a totalllll makeup hoarder :x I can’t even help it! I love any and every sort of makeup that contains bright crazy colors people don’t wear on day to day basis. :p I’ll buy from anywhere, CVS, Target..buttt,
I’ve become addicted to Sephora!..they have such incredible colors and brands; like Urban Decay, they have AWESOME makeup box sets, & use lots of glitter!
Speaking of glitter; check out Medusa’s Makeup..they’re my ABSOLUTEEEE fav; I literally bought HALF of the store when I was working/had the cash to do so. :p There are SOO many unique eye-popping colors/glitters!
& for moreee bright colors, check out Lime Crime; that girl is a walking fairy tale, and she creates some amazing makeup! :D
I’ve used pretty much all of these in my photos & they look AMAZING! The best foundation on me, is Maybelline’s pressed mineral powder; it covers up mostly everything! and is just a great finish in general for photos. :D

Do you believe there’s intelligent life on other planets?
There has to be!!
Space is so big and there are so many galaxies and planets and moons.. it would be crazier if there wasn’t! & if so, that would mean we’re even luckier than we ever imagined..and shouldn’t take a single breath of this life for granted.

How do you stay so positive? I really admire that quality in you. I’m trying to see the positive in everything myself but it’s hard sometimes, and my problems aren’t even half as bad as what you deal with. Kudos to you, lady.
I think it’s so easy for me to stay positive because 1.) I don’t feel sorry for myself 2.) I don’t compare my problems/life to other peoples problems/lives.
And, honestly, ANY day I’m NOT in the hospital, is the best day of my life!! ^.^ I know how ridiculously fragile life really is, and I never take a second for granted anymore. I can’t..I really DON’T know what’s going to happen to me, but, worrying isn’t the answer..appreciating every moment I have, is.
I just look forward to the day I’m meeeee again. Knowing how wonderful that will be, is enough to keep me smiling. :)

Do you have many friends where you live?
Nooo. not really..
I have three friends :)
2 I count as soul-muses & my life is a million times better when they’re in it. They’re amazing, wonderfully supportive, beautiful people.. that have seen me at my worst and still love me! *giggle* <3
Sadly though..the majority of people from where I live are terrible people. Mean, backstabbing, over-dramatic & superrrr fake: they’ll go out of their way to try to soil my name, play sick head games, and would rather see me fail than succeed.
Buttt, unfortunately for them, I’m a lady that turns alllll negatives into positives; and I cannot wait til my health is back so I can show the world what I’m *really* capable of..&, so I’ll FINALLY be able spend time with friends! Old, and new!<3
