The year is winding down and we are excited for 2019 and all the new and exciting things we’re planning for the new year! This is also a great time to look back at 2018 and some of our highlights.

Today I’m listing my favorite photoshoots from 2018! It was a smaller year for shoots, as we spent most of it frantically working on the move to production, but we still created some really outstanding photos (at least in my opinion, heh).

In no particular order here are some of my favorite Gloomth shoots of 2018!

Joan of Arc- I had wanted to tackle this theme in a shoot for years and suddenly it all came together beautifully! Poppy made a perfect Joan and we had an awesome sword to finish the look, as well as a gorgeous backdrop. See the whole series here.

Victorian Grunge- Set design is something I really love doing for our bigger shoots! The set four Victorian Grunge collection launch is one of the most intricate I’ve ever built and is filled with things I love and that inspire my work. Check it out here.

Gothic City- Making art with my close friends is one of the best feelings! This shoot with Mistress McCutchan was absolutely perfect and captures that Toronto downtown feeling so wonderfully. Lots more here.

Red Velvet- A recent shoot but one that I think is really beautiful! I love the way the world turns tawny and pale in late fall, and it really made our red velvet dress look extra luscious. Lots more from this series here.

Ghost Bride- This shoot is so strange and eerie! Part of a day of three totally different shoots this one was the first of the day and just has such a unique and haunted feeling to it. See the rest on flickr.

Thank you so much to all the models who have participated in our shoots this year! I could honestly list every shoot we did this year as a favorite as it’s one of my most cherished parts of the business. I look forward to creating more weird art in the new year! I’ll be back to coordinating shoots in early January so stay tuned for more weird, experimental art of all kinds!
