Photography in Second Life isn’t all about the formal, posed sessions. Some of my favourite photos are candid shots that have been taken in various clubs where I have worked and hang out. The thing I love about clubs in Second Life is that you never know what’s going to rez into the club!

From fishes going pook pook…

To dancing popsicles and roller skating M&Ms.

I’ve worked as a host in a lot of clubs and I’ve had the honour and pleasure of working with some amazing DJs there. Two of my very favourites are DJ Maddie and DJ Dax. I never know what will happen when we’re on stage together!

While you may see things in Second Life clubs you would never see in real life clubs, you can count on hearing good music, having lots of laughs and meeting some amazing people. The reasons we frequent clubs in Second Life are no different than those of people heading to their local bar on a Friday night: to unwind, relax and spend time in the company of friends.

Just hanging out, soaking up the atmosphere, havin’ a good time.

My Best Side

And I’m not talking about moods now…

It’s rare in Second Life to see profile pictures that feature rear ends. Butts. Backsides. Bums. Call it what you want, I think a shapely rump has an aesthetic all its own. And this post is to honour the glorious gluteous maximus!

This is one of my favourite pictures of me I’ve taken. It was taken at a place called Far Away in Second Life and I love the softness of the textures used. It was a perfect backdrop for a shot of me from behind…yet without seeing my face, I feel I am reflecting my wonder at the simple beauty around me.

This photo was my profile picture for quite a while. While my face is shown, the story is told in my posture and the gentle curves displayed.

And this final shot…truly a “shameless ass pic”, was inspired by my boyfriend’s reaction to this apron. Who says that kitchens are just for cooking? 😉 While this photograph never actually made it to my profile, it was one of the most commented on photos on my Facebook page.

I love exploring different dimensions in my photography. To be able to tell a story without relying on facial expressions. Poses – the body language of Second Life – help me to write new chapters each time I turn my avatar around for the camera.

Hanging Out My Shingle

This will be a short post, but a lot of work went behind it!

I’ve officially set up shop in Second Life with a showroom on the Dolce Vita sim. It’s in a pretty shopping district set up around Intimate Moments Ballroom. I spent the weekend setting up the displays, creating an information giver and it even has a bell you can press to IM me 🙂 Special thanks to my friend, Romeo, who helped line up my displays (since I’m building-challenged, to say the least!)

To get to Pics by Peep, click on the link and from the landing point walk down the left side toward the ballroom and I’m about halfway down. Look for my sign and stop in to check out some of my work!
