The chameleonic @itsvalis.bsky.social shooting some character portraits. In this look she was very kindly acting as one of the main characters for my wife’s @catyaffeauthor.bsky.social new book. Shot at Libre Studio Retouch: ZigZag #characterportrait #photography #studiowork #portraiture

Happy New Year to you all Let’s kick 2025 off with this rather striking portrait of @itsvalis.bsky.social taken at Libre Studio in Liverpool last year. Singer, actor, writer, model I’m not sure there’s anything this star can’t do. Retouch: ZigZag #ukmodels #musicians #photography #studiowork

Happy New Year! It was lovely spending NYE surrounded by friends. ♥️🎉 Hope you all have a wonderful 2025!

Introduction post for my band: We’re She Must Burn, a UK symphonic deathcore band blending heaven & hell with dual male/female vocals. Our 2022 album ‘Umbra Mortis’ was nominated for Metal Album of the Year & made Metal Hammer UK’s Top 50 list. 📸: Marcus Maschwitz #SheMustBurn #Deathcore #Music

Introduction post for the kitties: Frodo & Arwen. They’re 16 weeks old and the bestest of friends. Frodo is currently attacking the Xmas tree as I’m typing this, whilst Arwen is making bread on my leg. #kittens #tabby
