Stealing Time Studios - Shiva Sharifi (408 words)
I had to do something about thisÂ… and so began my gothic beauty series, where my approached was to go directly to the girls at the clubs, retail stores, etc. that I felt inspired the appropriate look and mix of the scene I so enjoy when going out.
This series began in 2001 and all though is no longer a main focus of my photography work these days, I am always willing to add more imagery of beautiful Goth girls as I come by them.
If you feel you have a look that would be well suited for this series and are interested in modeling for me please feel free to contact Stealing Time Studios.
