How To Shoot A Shot At Gothic Arts?

It is so easy for people to name a photograph a Goth if it depicts a dark mood. And yes, Gothic photography is all about the mood. A spooky picture with red and black dresses, graveyard or an old monument which reminds of Victorian times, screams Gothic. And not only pictures but Gothic fashion has also its roots spreading fast.

WomenGothic clothing for womenis changing and in demand as well. As it is high in fashion it is one of the most favorite photography trends as well.

Gothic photography has evolved a lot with time. A picture which has a dark story and a dark secret which the photographer wants you to wonder about. Not only simple black dresses with a dark makeup, butGothic chokers, steampunk waistcoats, Gothic crosses, and even Gothic wedding dresses are so much in demand and thus are on the list of photographers as well.

Gothic fashion isn’t supposed to limit itself to Halloween or a dark night only. You can always pair a Gothic choker with a black dress on a casual outing. Gothic fashion is meant to be a part of every woman’s wardrobe. Women Gothic clothing has also been described by various photographers in different lights.

There are several photography series which take Gothic photography to a different level. One of the best series is “Siren” by Daniel Vazquez. This series has darkness to it, mystery to it and most importantly the mood it sets you in. You will feel like you are in a different timeline.

The series is not one which shows off the dresses but sets a mood. The sheer black and white robes, the crowns and the skull are the few things which depict a different time, a story.

The pictures have darkness to them. The symmetry of the figures with the large crowns and the rituals they are performing or are about to perform adds a mystery to the series. They say, there is a charm to the mystery and these hidden faces which are about to perform something strange, make you look at it for long and wonder what is about to happen like looking at them will end the mystery.

The stillness of figures also makes you wonder about what is going to happen. And then there is the skull which adds more darkness to the series. The wired crowns set on the top of heads of these figures will compel you to add a Gothic choker to your accessories.

The thing which sets the series apart is the mood it sets. The black and secret rituals, the impending death and the robed figures on a stormy shore creates a storm inside you too. There is both stillness and storm in the series. The stillness of the figures, which look so calm and collected, and ready to perform some sort of dark rituals. There is a stormy sea in the background and the dark clouds which holds an appeal to them. The whole series is a mix of contrasts like black and white, stillness and storm. That’s how life really is-contrasting.

The full-length robe covers the figures but still make you wonder about their looks. You can imagine them having a pale skin, dark eyes watching blankly and dark red lips. A face and a look are must for the mind when it imagines something so it adds up some details on its own. These pictures gear up your mind to an imagination of itself.

The still figures seem silent and at the same time being in conversation as well, as if staring in each other’s eyes through the veil. Just like these pictures, a Gothic dress says so much about your fashion sense, without you speaking anything at all. The dark has an appeal to itself which makes it pleasing to the eye.

The background has a great impact on the overall mood of the picture. The dark stones on the edges and the storming sea, a figure with its open arms seem to talk to the sea, having a conversation with nature, asking it to accept the offerings.

The photographer Daniel Vazquez has a fascination to the mythology which he has depicted beautifully in the series. It is like he has conveyed his feeling very honestly in the form of pictures. The pictures are grim, beautiful, dark, mysterious, i.e. a perfect blend of what a Gothic photography series should be like.

You must have come across a number of Gothic fashion series but this one is something which requires your imagination, your engagement with the pictures and an intellectual connect to understand the feeling of the photographer. If a picture can capture a photographer’s mood, then only it is a complete picture. With this series, Daniel Vazquez has done exactly that.

Apart from this one, you can also have a look at the “Dancer in the Dark” by Jumbo Tsui, “In Full Bloom” by Seth Karecha and “The Nightingale Vulture” Editorial by Paul Phung. These series have that Gothic appeal and a beautiful fashion sense as well.
