Elease Graves -- The 12 Days of Post 6-mux Grrrrls

[Elease Graves is a fabulously talented graphic artist and designer, and when I caught her online the other day and asked if she would pose for us, it seemed stupid of me not to also ask "Would you like to take your own pictures?" I was thrilled that she said yes to both. Without further ado I offer the incredibly talented Elease Graves, who originally posed for Justine Babii in January 2008. -Timothy Morpork]

I am a Professional Photographer, Graphic Artist, Freelance/Print Model, Former Managing Editor for different well known second life magazines, a formal gown designer of the brand name Unmentionable and the co-owner of Fabled Weddings.

I have accomplished many things and  taken on many projects within second life. This is my 2ND time being featured in the Second Life Herald Post 6, and I am  grateful to be featured again.

I have been in second life for nearly five years and am always pushed to live dreams that  real life never seems to allow. My niche has always been graphic arts and the creative side of second life. I hope to do a lot more in the future to contribute my talents to second life.

I believe that determination equals success and I try to never lose sight of my dreams. Anything is possible if you want it badly enough, and nowhere could this be more true than in Second Life.

I wish you all a wonderful Holiday Season and best wishes for a happy new year.

Professional photos ? white on white ? hmmmmm

Fantastic Av, and though a short and simple bio, interesting, none the less.

The photgraphy is beautiful, though there's something amiss with the last photo, your hips are weird looking, and you forgot to ditch the cleavage. Other than that..great work!

Merry Christmas to you too!

[Bunny Brickworks]

So your models write their bios AND take their own pics now, Timothy? *hums* 'get your money for nothing and your chicks for free'...

And the pics would be great if Elease hadn't already posted them on her flickr ten days ago.

Nice write up. The leg position on the third photo is odd, look what it does to the line of the hip.

[Jumpman Lane]

HOPEFULLY HE'S TRAININ HIS REPLACEMENTS! this post and dae lane were simply awesome

[Kae]

The something amiss with the last photo is the fact there's a goofy Photoshop canvas filter over it.

[Waei Takeishi]

Its so easy to call yourself a great photographer and great this and that..pfff... this is not a concrete example imo

[Furroy]

Taking her own pix does seem to be a copout for the photographer.

Nice lady and nice AV, but seriously with all the people in SL do we need
to be repeating models after only a year?

Speaking of avatar rendering, virtual goods for avis is becoming big business this Christmas, especially in Second Life.

Nice avatar, and 2 good pictures. Sexy messy hairstyle, it all works well together.

Then the third picture... that cleavage is way overused. It looks fantastic with a bra on, and silly without. This model isn't the first that uses it, I see it everywhere. And what's that blurring of the groin area, it looks like a half melted wax doll. If you were too modest to show virtual frontal nudity, you should leave a thong on instead of blurring it like that.

Still - a good photog though
