Fantasy & Creative Photography
TRAVEL THROUGH THE IMAGINATION
As a child, The Lion Witch and Wardrobe, Alice in Wonderland, Labyrinth, and Neverending Story were my favorite movies. Each of these movies presented a diverse range of fantasy characters, both heroes and villains, and blessed me with an active imagination that has not quit even as an adult. Since being a child, I have chased the surreal, and as a cosplayer, transformed into many of the characters of my favorite fantasies. As a makeup artist and costume designer, a growing desire emerged to turn others into the fantasy characters that roam my mind. Boom, Runamuk Fantasy Photography was born!
Fantasy portraits are a fusion of fantasy, cosplay, and glamour to create whimsical fine art photography. My belief is -"If it is imaginable, we can bring it to life." Enchanted, fantasy portraiture is for adults who want a unique portrait of themselves in a unique setting crafted through the magic of the imagination, costume design, and makeup artistry.
People from all walks of life can enjoy a unique fantasy photography experience they will cherish for years to come. Experience a different approach to the classic photoshoot, become something else!
Whimsical Inspirations
I am inspired by nature, magic, and the wonders of the imagination. Therefore, I work in a large range of themes from fairy tales to the romantically wicked. We can do fairies, elves, mermaids, vampires, day of the dead, witches, Disney characters, steampunk, goth, or if you have a specific idea or request, I love to try new themes. If the request is very unique such as specific anime characters, you will need to supply your own costuming but I am happy to do my best on matching the makeup. The only themes I do not do are very dark gory themes (it has to be pretty sinister to not consider). Otherwise, please feel free to make as many requests as you wish. Let’s have fun creating!
Your Fantasy Photoshoot
We are not all models and therefore some feel very anxious about being photographed. I completely understand. I am nervous in front of the camera too! Please be assured that I am a very easy-going person and after a few minutes into your session, you will be laughing and feeling much more relaxed and confident. I guide you through all the poses, so you don't need to have any experience. As you transform into an otherworldly character you will find boosted confidence as you bring the character's personality to life. You will be amazed at the results and have even more fun posing.
Your experience begins with a one-on-one chat with me personally so we can plan your shoot. This consultation gives us time to talk about themes, costuming, special requests, and make-up requirements. This consultation can be conducted over the phone or at your favorite coffee shop. Coffee is on me!
Depending on the concept, your session will take approximately 4-6 hours, depending on the details of the shoot. This time includes make-up, costuming (including hair styling or wig application), and photos.
Once we have come up with a plan we will decide where the shoot will take place. The location completely depends on the style of your session. We may even opt to shoot the session in a studio.
After the shoot, I get to work polishing your perfect fantasy art piece. This is a lengthy and in-depth process, so you'll definitely have to be patient with this part! There is quite a bit of time and dedication devoted to each photograph.
