It's basically spooky season, #BIPOCVampDay is almost upon us, and les Vampires are returning to Chicago (including yours truly.) It's the most wonderful time of the year 🖤🩸 📸 @diablerievisuals.bsky.social www.vampireschi.com

Stepping out of the shadows and into something softer—this shoot with instagram.com/emalynde was a welcome change from my usual vampire fare. #Dreamy light, flowing fabric, and the kind of #forest setting that feels pulled from a #fairytale.

Really proud of this amazing #VampireTheMasquerade clan #Nosferatu shoot featuring this awesome @bynightstudios.bsky.social LED neon light. · Model and FX artist: instagram.com/occult_turtle Prosthetics: instagram.com/infected_fx

So it would appear folks are only interested in my #vampire content on my Instagram. I want to have range as a #photographer by I can see the writing on the wall, and it's written in blood.

A few months back I had the honor of shooting with my friend Jamie to celebrate her graduation 🎓✨ Not only is she a fresh college grad, but she’s also an incredible model who’s been a huge part of my growth as a photographer. So proud of you, Jamie! · Model: instagram.com/deae.luna

I'm in love with these snapshots during the #darknessemergent of my character Piper! Night 1 was goth punk but Night 2 was when she went fancy. Anarch Thin Bloods can clean up quite well 😉 @bynightstudios.bsky.social @darknessemergent.bsky.social @diablerievisuals.bsky.social

Model: instagram.com/n.w_modeling_ • (1/2) It’s been a while since I’ve had time to focus on personal projects. I’m incredibly grateful to @bynightstudios.bsky.social but finding the balance between my dream job and personal artistic growth hasn’t been easy.

Any chance I get to photograph my friend @cyndancer.bsky.social is a win — but I wasn't ready for the way she absolutely slayed in that stunning look at the #Nosferatu #FashionShow. 🔥 The design? Courtesy of the ridiculously talented instagram.com/hectorqlspider

Last week I had the pleasure of doing a dreamy fantasy shoot with Ema. It was a refreshing change from my usual vampire work and something I definitely want to explore more. · Model: Ema (instagram.com/emalynde) BTS 📸: instagram.com/not_that_wizard_

Lit like the last sparks of a burning city—beautiful, damned, and absolutely enthralling. · Models: instagram.com/rachelkordell, @syriinx.bsky.social · At the @darknessemergent.bsky.social hosted by @bynightstudios.bsky.social · #darknessemergent #bynightstudios #vampirethemasquerade

I'm a big fan of LA by Night and if I hadn't already been playing for decades, the show would've been the reason I got into Vampire: the Masquerade. It was such a privilege to take the cast's picture and see their passion for the community first hand.

Death is not the end! Succubus Club parties await afterwards 🍷 Thanks for the pictures @diablerievisuals.bsky.social @bynightstudios.bsky.social !

Snaps of our official @darknessemergent.bsky.social Content Creators (and a few others too)! So many more creators I wish I’d had the chance to shoot with, but time wasn’t on my side this round. Here’s hoping for next time! · Event hosted by @bynightstudios.bsky.social

The Biltmore drips with opulence—gilded halls and grand ballrooms fit for ancient courts, but every now and then the shot called for a forgotten or shadowed corridors · @darknessemergent.bsky.social hosted by @bynightstudios.bsky.social · #vampirethemasquerade #larp #coterie #vtm #labynight

I see someone flagged @16biteric.bsky.social, and I'll point out @themomobee.bsky.social and a wild @themandii.bsky.social husband (whose handle I don't know). Also, is that a wild @bethcnyesda.bsky.social hair in the first pic?

One of my favorite @darknessemergent.bsky.social moments was during my shoot with @lauratutu.qcg.social —she was on the balcony looking like an absolute queen when a huge group of attendees turned the corner and lost it. Full celebrity moment. · Event hosted by @bynightstudios.bsky.social

These were taken 6 months ago while my friend @cyndancer.bsky.social was in town. I absolutely adore these pictures and am grateful for the collaboration I had with her.

That’s because the Anarchs suck. Ya I said it.

Love this!

Life’s been completely wrapped up in working on shoots for the upcoming Enemies of Night book by @bynightstudios.bsky.social Now that my part of the book is wrapped, I’m finally diving back into my own creative world. · Model: IG @deae.luna BTS 📸: IG @arceliarc

It's cringy to have to be reminded to tag your photographers on social media.

#photographerconfession: I bring every little piece of equipment with me to every shoot. Like, really dude? Do you really need THAT lens? You're shooting portraits, not the fucking moon.

This past weekend, I was on a business trip with @bynightstudios.bsky.social scouting out the new location for the next #DarknessEmergent event. While I didn’t get to fully explore the city, I did manage to squeeze in dinner with my LA friends @cyndancer.bsky.social and @lemartheconguy.bsky.social

I'm very proud of this shot. That suit is killer!

Omg yall! Check out this awesome edit that Madison made of my character from @bynightstudios.bsky.social Darkness Emergent event! I played a canon NPC from the clan books of the Ministry ( or formally known as Setitie) named Elizabeth Dimitros! Thank you Madison! See you in LA!💋

I want to do more shoots in #JeromeArizona again but it's starting to get really cold. Model: instagram.com/forbidden_flowers_ #phoenixphotographer #portraitphotography #arizonamodel #phoenixmodels #azmodel #azphotographer

Weird and creepy compliments I wish I could give clients that other #photographers would understand. "Thank you for having great skin!" #Tzimisce
