capturing, developing and creatively translating your brand, your business and your image. translated through traditional graphic design principals and a photographic art practice that originated on film and transitioned through to digital commercial portrait photography.
Yesterday my love @angeliquejoy.creative and I finally made it along to the Andy Warhol exhibition at @agsa.adelaide.
It was an exhibition with relevance to one of my projects for @rmitphoto and as an added bonus there was a 70s style portrait booth with dodgy chemicals for that gold old sepia stained booth outcomes 😉
As for the experience of seeing a Warhol related exhibition in Adelaide during these anti trans neo liberal ultra conservative times … As aj put it "Consumption and observation of other" was rife … a bunch of conservative Adelaide types were.wandering around looking at images of cherry darling and others. .. and you know damn well that they would judge and condemn the same people if they were present in person and not as part of the fame that Warhol's factory became.
Was wonderful to get.off the computer and spend some time in the world with my love … however we have seen better Warhol exhibitions and the best part of the exhibition was definitely the photo booth lol

RMIT Master of Photography Photo Studio 2 – WIP update
Yesterday I had the pleasure of heading on in to see David Hobbs in at Master of Prints @master.of.prints to once again have a play with stock options for this semesters work, in preparation for the first class crit for this semester next week. I am doing this so that I can send over prints for the class to talk at, using test shoots that I have done with @angeliquejoy.creative recently, as the main 13 portrait shoot isnt happening until May 🙂
Thanks to the ongoing support and sponsorship of Daniela Barth in at Spicers Paper AU, this semester I have decided upon using an old favourite of Hahnemule Photo Rag (matte stock) … however as is the way, I had to also test the Bauhaus Bright White Matte (which after tests last semester I have ruled out as being a stock I can use) as well as Bauhaus Tru Rag Etching (that I used last semester) … Ill inevitably use a different stock next semester and the one after, because why not choose stock for the quality of the image 😉
Thanks as always to Emma Phillips, Pia Johnson, Torika Bolatagici, Alison Bennett and the rest of the RMIT peoples for their ongoing support through this MoP adventure.

“The effect of gender is produced through the stylization of the body and, hence, must be understood as the mundane way in which bodily gestures, movements, and styles of various kinds constitute the illusion of an abiding gendered self. This formulation moves the conception of gender off the ground of a substantial model of identity to one that requires a conception of gender as a constituted social temporality.”
– Judith Butler (Gender Trouble : Feminism and the Subversion of Identity. New York: Routledge, 2006.)
This photo is a self portrait, and a reminder to all out there that only you can define your gender. It is not just a binary choice. It is not anyone else's choice. It is not based on your anatomical assignment at birth.
(this photo was taken as a lighting test for this semesters MoP studio work.

As a start to the artistic side of myself this year, I thought I would do an edit of each of the others I shot for 'Do we forgive those who trespass against us' last year, taken on the same days as the main images, but edited in my more raw black and white style. I shall release them over the next while, here is another one 🙂

for those of you who might have wanted to do a b.you shoot with me over the years, but haven't been able to perhaps this special will help 🙂
the b.you package is usually $500+gst so it's a 50% off kind of deal but will still include two edited files for use online (with unlimited personal usage rights) as well as two 8×12 fine art prints done by David Hobbs at Master of Prints.
this shoot special is for adelaide (or those who can be in adelaide during jan) however for those of you in melbourne, let me know if you are also interested as I may do this special once this year over your way as melbourne has always been my second creative home.
drop me a DM if you wish to make a booking.

sharing some of the b.seen work from the end of 2022 pt 1.
b.seen is the combination of my photographic and design skillset that usually comes to play when trying to help fellow creatives be seen when they wish to be seen … not that moisty needs much help on that front 🙂
for those of you who will be in Adelaide for the 2023 fringe, Moisty Magic will be performing in their solo show 'How to make a Bimbo' on Wednesday 15 March to Saturday 18 March at 10pm at The Lark at Gluttony in Rymill Park. (tickets available at https://adelaidefringe.com.au/…/how-to-make-a-bimbo-af2023) produced by Big Clit Energy Productions.
the promo for the show is as follows …
Gender is performative, and Moisty Magic is here to steal the show! On a quest for quick cash, Moisty ended up discovering their true self. A politically charged story about unpacking internalised misogyny and coming to terms with identity. Be prepared to have your views of gender challenged by a bimbo in 8-inch heels and a tiny bikini. Academic by day, sex worker by night, and performance activist anytime they get the chance, Moisty brandishes opinions as loud as their hair and wit as sharp as their eyeliner. They don’t fit in a box and neither does this show – the perfect blend of cabaret, burlesque, drag, dance and sideshow.
Photography/design: Brent Leideritz
Performer/concept/show/makeup/styling: Moisty Magic aka Hoe Rogan

DO WE FORGIVE THOSE WHO TRESPASS AGAINST US?
Suspension for RMIT Master of Photography Semester 1 Studio 1
Each panel is 1.1m x 1.65m in scale
Photo by @piajohnsonphotography
As a self-identified freak or ‘other’, ‘Do we forgive those who trespass against us’ sets out to question and challenge the normative society in which we have been engulfed by. The nature of ‘self’ is communicated through performativity and difference, which enables those wishing to retain power of conservative structuralist ideologies, to categorise us in the same way that they mis-contextualise scripture to re-enforce their self-serving needs. We become ‘representations of wrong in the eyes of (their) god’, condemned to their mythological hell, because their narrative requires us to be ‘evil’ in their binary make believe, of which they see themselves as ‘good’. Giving space for gender performance and representation to our community of ‘other’ allowed for a communal deconstruction and reinterpretation of the symbolism, myth and narrative of the church’s ideologies. By post structuralist deconstruction, and by contrasting the religious and mythological representations of judeo/christian constructs and its foundational imagery, I present within this homage, the alternative reality and strength of difference that the ideologies of the church continue to demonise to this day. In the creation of this homage, I see the potential for a wider audience of the invisible ‘other’, and normative personal alike, to appreciate that a conservative structuralist reality isn’t the only ‘truth’, but simply a singular dated and restrictive viewpoint in an ongoing and ever-changing reality of a post-structuralist society where truth is relative, and personal.
This homage has been printed for RMIT Master of Photography studio one assessment by David Hobbs at Master of Prints @master.of.prints on stock Bauhaus Tru Rag Etching from Daniela Barth of Spicers Paper AU.

By post structuralist deconstruction, and by contrasting the religious and mythological representations of judeo/christian constructs and its foundational imagery, I present within this homage, the alternative reality and strength of difference that the ideologies of the church continue to demonise to this day. In the creation of this homage, I see the potential for a wider audience of the invisible ‘other’, and normative personal alike, to appreciate that a conservative structuralist reality isn’t the only ‘truth’, but simply a singular dated and restrictive viewpoint in an ongoing and ever-changing reality of a post-structuralist society where truth is relative, and personal.

DO WE FORGIVE THOSE WHO TRESPASS AGAINST US?
Panel 6
The seen
The pale horse
As a self-identified freak or ‘other’, ‘Do we forgive those who trespass against us’ sets out to question and challenge the normative society in which we have been engulfed by. The nature of ‘self’ is communicated through performativity and difference, which enables those wishing to retain power of conservative structuralist ideologies, to categorise us in the same way that they mis-contextualise scripture to re-enforce their self-serving needs.

Panel 8
The unseen
The Martyr Paradoxx
In the words of @alison.paradoxx (Thankyou is not enough)
"
The ideas of suffering, and martyrdom is often affiliated with the depiction of the Jesus embodiment, yet the assumptions of gender, colour of skin, culture, and age are qualities that seem fixed in trope, and visually-accessible folklore. This Jesus, however, is androgynous. Confrontional, frail … yet simultaneously powerful in its imagery. This Jesus is a social outcast, an apt depiction of suffering, a subversive entity. But most importantly, to me on a personal level, this Jesus image was created against all the odds. This shoot was incredibly important, and especially fragile to me on many levels, as it was taken against all the odds. I also was uncertain as to how the image would be digested by a viewing audience. Having been hospitalised for almost three months, weighing 24kgs, and suffering from hypothermia, Chronic kidney disease, Hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, chronic pain from scoliosis, and severe anorexia, we were vastly limited in the scope of what we could do during a shoot. The results you see were shot as an “escaped patient geurilla shoot”… from a disabled toilet… on the third floor of a busy public hospital. This shoot is truly an example of the passion in art, and illustrates to the viewer that even when faced with tremendous obstacles, powerful works can often be created best. Created to confront, to discomfort the viewer, to disrupt the narrative, and be subversive. This is not a celebration of what life should be – this is a raw, and candid depiction of pain, and life being stripped away. As a chronically disabled person, I am othered by society. The suffering, and persecution of Jesus is symbolic to this experience. "

Panel four – The seen – Work in progress element
This panel was where this homage all started, inspired by Pieta by William-Adolphe Bouguereau. As with the rest of this homage, this image represents those of us who exist outside of the normative conservative world view and critiques the nature of such, as well as the multiple traumas the judeo/christian myth creates for others and typicals alike.
Thanks to all of you who helped bring this image to life (the final homage is coming soon) … Rebecca Castaldini @eva.somnolence Samael Allan Makay @signsliaison Nicola Nikki Sullivan @nikkisullivan26 Dakota Rae @dakotormon Layla McKay @laylaxmua Christopher Malthouse Ben Davenport @talliesin_grixti Ingrid Devi Letum @tired.gov.au Sonia Bondarcev @soniabondarcevv Jaqana Geraghty @jaqanabanana , and a raven courtesy of Katie Keast @katie.keast
