Character: Astarion
Series: Baldur's Gate 3
About
Astarion prowled the night as a vampire spawn for two centuries in Baldur's Gate, enslaved by a sadistic vampire lord named Cazador Szarr until he was abducted by mind flayers on the Nautiloid. Although living on borrowed time due to being tadpoled, he now can walk in sunlight, wade through water, enter homes uninvited, and resist his master's compulsions. Astarion has a chance at a new life where he can make his own choices, and possibly gain the freedom and safety he previously dared not even hope for.
He is NOT very nice. You might say he sucks.
Why this Character?
When I was working one of the worst jobs of my life, YouTube's front page algorithm would show me videos of his alpha cutscenes every Sunday. I don't think I would have become so attached to him or played the game at all if this had not happened to me. Cheers, Neil.

Indoor Shoot - November 2023
Our first indoor shoot. It was fun getting to set up the "studio" area.
All it took was some simple fabric hanging and some charity shop props.
We were lucky enough to have a old-fashioned looking telephone table already.
This shoot was inspired by gothic literature, and portraits depicting Lord Byron.

Outdoor Shoot - November 2023
Shot outside in a wooded area. Lots of curious dog walkers as you might expect.
I have positive memories of this shoot because the general public that came across us
taking elf photographs were very nice, ha!
