![]() NOTE: To unmystify this picture! This is not a photo manipulation at least how you call it...This is a photography of a statue! that was standing in front of tate modern in London (2007)! I didn't glue the spider there. I just took the picture of the spider kneeling on the ground so it looks like its going towards St.Paul's. Just to make this clear! This was the last picture with my old style, and the only one i really like. So i hope you enjoy it. |

![]() Short Artistic Biography: I started doing photography at the age of 7, when my dad gave me my first camera, and i think there's where my passion started! Around 2004/2005, my dad bought his Nikon D70 but i grew so attached to it, he gave it to me, and bought the recent model D80. I then started upgrading my equipment to the list you see bellow. I started macro'ing at the age of 20 when i finally got my only macro lens. I am now training low exposure landscape. At the age of 20 i graduated in photography after a long extensive specialized course. I am now studying media and cinema. I can't do much with photography in my country but i have some of my work "permanently" exposed in Germany and France (as in postcards, museum merchandise and shop decorations). My dream is to become a photographer for National Geographic, and i want to apply to so, when i finish my actual course. As for cosplay i started in 2007, when i found out it existed xD I debuted with a really crappy costume of Namine from KHII and i slowly started to improve. In 2008 for personal reasons and dramu i left the portuguese community, and i took the time off to finish school and do my photography degree, and returned to the cosplay world in 2010 with my Makenshi Crona cosplay. I'm a so so seamtress and i am proud to admit i mostly learnt how to use the machine and shizzles by myself even though my friend Leonor teaches me a lot of stuff and many techniques, and now it's easier for me to do stuff alone at home. I love prop making, i do my own props by myself with the help of my dad when wood polishing is involved (he says i'll chop my fingers off xD). And that's pretty much it! I do Like: Food (on my stomach or on photography), Chocolate, WOW (world of warcraft), anime, music, jrock, tsundere characters mostly, cosplay, photography, macro, prop making, vocaloid. I do Hate: Wannabe Otaku People who say they are just because they think they are...but they know shit about Japanese history and culture, and they shriek a lot of wapanese bullshit and claim asian heritage, and all that weabooish jazz... cheese, nuts, alliance in general, Arthas is gay, American minds, republican party, paladin nerfing, narrow minds and low I.Q's because mine is huge and i love it, full of themselves kind of people *cough*, pseudo intellectual things, elitism, Dr.House, inside the brain blond people or blond moments, most colors, rap, hip hop and r n'b, nu metal, and...pff...GNU I also hate people who create drama, speak behind my backs and think they are the best of bests, when all they can talk about is themselves, and since my I.Q. is high i really want to have other topics besides yourselves, so, be happy cultivating yourselves and then maybe you can appear before my person as cultivated beings. Sorry if harsh, but dramu power level of this people is so high one's gotta defend themselves! Because the ÁNÓNE is the best 8D elas andém aí! São 3 e andam aos pares! 8D Questions that i get asked frequently. Heritage: No i do not have any kind of asian blood, the only mixing i do have is Israeli, Spanish, Portuguese, Irish, English and a tiny bit of Finish. Hail for multiculture. Black Wigs make me look more AZN it's true, but that's as far as it goes, A WIG! My eyes are naturally "THAT" big, even though i wear lenses, because i can't have color eyes whenever i want. And because i have bad eyesight too 8D. But they are indeed big and that's mostly my cosplay trademark here in Portugal, as stupid as it sounds! ![]() Age: I was 22 years old in this pic. I am also glad to look younger than my age. Or so they say! So kawaii desu nyan neko nyah 8D. But now speaking truly, it's helpful because i can cosplay my favourite characters whenever i want without having to feel bad about looking too old for them? i guess... And i can also cosplay she-males without a problem, since i have boyish body features, even though i do not have a manly face, i can manipulate my face to look more manly, not only with make-up but also because i have a lot of tricks that do not include photoshop, but are related to facial expressions and facial posture! I can harden my face to look more squared to create more chin. For example when i cosplay little girls i photograph myself differently and with different angles, and i tend to put my neck more down and have top angle pictures. When i cosplay boys i do the opposite, i put my face up to show more neck and chin. These kind of tricks work fine for me, but i am not sure how is it for anyone else! ![]() Lenses: These are my current lenses. I plan to get pink ones as well. Lower ones are red/purple for Kuroneko. I'm still getting used to them, but i'll do my best to wear lenses from now on, on my cosplays. Weight and Photoshop: My weight flutters violently every month, one day i'm thinner, the other i'm fatter, that's life. I'm average, and i have a strange metabolism even though i like myself that way. I never photoshoped my body, and all i do is take my freckles and clean any lack of sleep from my face (i sleep very poorly due to my albino rat status). I like my face and my nose, i won't lie. That's as far as my ego goes. Wigs: All my wigs are from mostly the same e-bay stores, but said stores are secret because i don't like that people ask me where i bought them. If i had trouble looking, why would others not have to do the same effort? I can help you chose wigs though and order them for you even if you live in Portugal *with restrictions* but if i did that cosplay before or have that certain wig, do not expect me to counsel the same one for you. I'm a bit stingy with that yes, and i appologise previously. Costume Making: I do most of my costumes, with a lot of help from my bestfriend (she is skilled, i'm not xD i can only sew, i hate cutting fabric). Macro Photomanip: I don't have any secret while photomanipulating my macro and nature pictures. I mostly push-up the blue filters, kill the noise with surface blur and sometimes, depending on the mood, add some bokeh, if there's no natural one. Props: I do all my cosplay props by myself, it's the part i'm more skilled at, and rarely need any help, i am also open to make props for others if needed be, at a negotiable price. I cannot ship them though, so it's only open to people at my country. Unless the props are small and i can send them on regular mail, then i wouldn't mind doing requests. I DON'T make plushies.
