These are so beautifully idealized and orchestrated and your lighting is A++++++ and you’ve achieved this level of magic with these, it’s like looking into a glossier and more surreal version of reality.

Amazing. The images really capture the moment and I just long to be a part of their world.
First of all, this Girls is so beautiful! This might be one of my favourite photoshoots on here so far. And OMG i just came back from a night market here in Taibei and my friends and me did that exact game where you try to get a stuffed animal / toy OMG this is amazing!!!! Great work! Love love love love LOVE!!!
I totes love that metallic pleated skirt. It catches the light magnificantly in the animated shots.
These are fantastic, they make you wish you were there!
i went through this like 5 times, wow
the 6th one must go on tumblr!
these are amazing, number 10 reminds me of myself..
I think i’m a little bit in love with that red sparkly dress
oh my god #17 is fantastic
is there any way you could put a content warning on this article (maybe in the title or the description) before the moving gifs so that people who are sensitive to them do not start clicking through the album? especially because some of them move fairly quickly, and some of them have lights that flash a bit.
otherwise, the photos are really cool and the whole set is fun to look at
Hi! Thank you for bringing this to our attention; we tagged the post with “GIFs” so that people will know there are moving images in here. I hope that helps!
yes, it does help! thank you c:
The photos and gifs are gorgeous.
Wow, this was basically perfect. Loved it.
OK, this seems really random and weird ad-ish but, I just got Instagram and it would mean a lot to me if any of you guys would follow me (and I’ll follow back! obvs!) ok so my Instagram is josie_owls Thanx guys! Sorry for my soliciting! <3 u!
love it!
these are absolutely stunning!! ♡
what kind of camera did you use?
OH MYYYYYYY <3
The gifs were pure genius! It made the whole shoot seem like they were memories extracted from someone’s mind and then pasted down so everyone could see it.
Lovely.
I love the gifs!! I love the photos!!
