MONOCLE MAN GALLERY Artist Of the Month July ishtara1( ʟᴏʀɪ ʙᴀɪʟᴇʏ)

My journey as a Photographer In Second life and a Flickr artist.

Since the very first day I landed in Second life I was fascinated about all the creativity made by others as well as all the beautiful scenery, this drew me to start doing photography, when ever I would visit a beautiful places or sim.

I never shared my pictures with anyone the first years, I just captured for my self to enjoy, but in 2018 I decided to make my own Flickr and to share my pictures with others as well. Since then I have also had the honor of having my pictures exhibited at different galleries in Second life.

I am a huge lover of nature in both worlds, and there is so much beauty out there to be captured in both Second Life and Real Life. Most often my Pictures are related to music, poetry and/or quotes. Music was my first love in life, not a day goes by in my life without listening to music.

Landscape pictures are for sure my passion, I have always been fascinated by the sea and water, as well as the sky, so most of my pictures have water or sea in them, in between I also do pictures of my avatar, mainly portraits, fantasy pictures or still life pictures.

I try to express different kind of feelings/ moods through my landscape pictures, by experimenting with different kinds of environments and Windlights/ EEPs.

Capturing pictures in Second life is and has been a constant learning process, and I find new ways of doing things all the time.

When I capture pictures, I just go into my own little world, my "bubble" as I call it.. those are treasured moments for me, and it gives me immense joy.

I do not use PS to edit my pictures, and most of my pictures are just slightly edited trough other photo tools, to enhance the colors, add light-flare or by blurring them a little bit.

Thank you so much for your support, for taking the time to visit the exhibition, and taking the time to  look at my pictures. I hope you have enjoyed them, as much as I have enjoyed doing them.  

Best regards and huge hugs

ToryKing MONOCLE MAN GALLERY June Artist of the Month

                                                      June Artist of the Month  

                              

                                         Tory King Bio
                                                 
  



The general SL public best knows Tory King, former publisher of AttentionSL magazine, as multiple-award-nominee photographer of portraits and erotica. His immersion in Second Life photography began nearly seven years ago, in October 2017. At first, it was an exploration of voyeurism as he captured images of friends in the most intimate throes of sexual passion. An urge to improve the quality of these photos led to studies of technique, exercises in the use of light and form and to portraiture. As a lover of the human form, male and female, his commitment to celebrating the beauty of faces and bodies is unwavering. Clients, both longtime and recent, continue commissioning him for portraits and intimate erotica to this day, for which he is thrilled and grateful.

Bio Kit Boyd


I'm an oldie in second life but still around when I feel like it.

I started sl in 2007

Surprised to find out that it was and can be a very creative world, I started creating furniture & decoration which I did for almost 3 years.
I closed my store because it was to time consuming and I wanted some more time for myself and friends.... time to explore

That is how I found a new passion .... photography .

Profile pictures in the beginning but after a while it became obvious I had skills (told by others) ☺
so I started to capture the world of Second Life with my view on it.

Being able to make a picture and give people an opportunity to see the same passion or feelings within, is wonderful.
 

You can see part of my passion here

with pictures from her heart and with one message to all. 

                       "Have wonderful picturesque times...
                  Keep a positive spirit and spread it around.
                            Keep the love vibrant and alive
                            Keep the heart open and willing
                           but most of all... keep on hugging" !

Written By Kit

The elves are a very fun-loving, happy people that cherish their families and have a symphonic relationship with nature that is inseparable from their spirit. Maybe nature is their spirit. It’s all very mysterious.

 

Sounds like me :p

in kits words


She held the moon the way she held her own heart....

.... as if it was the only light that could guide her through

the darkest nights.

 Poem Below By Kit


Feel the day turn into night

watch the stars that shine so bright

hear the music and dream away

it's night time.... no need to stay.

Fly away with me.......

I will ride....

I will fly .....

chase the wind....

and touch the sky.

RIDE softly, LISTEN carefully and LOVE completely ♥


The ruins proclaim the building was beautiful ..

Amidst the crumbling stones,

Where time has etched its tale,

Ruins stand proud and defying decay,

Their whispers carried by the wind in their own way.

"Time is free, but it’s priceless. You can’t own it, but you can use it.

You can’t keep it, but you can spend it.

Once you’ve lost it, you can never get it back.
