Tribal Fusion Bellydance Red Gypsy Skirt December 2011

I had very limited space, and limitations on my equipment, plus it was a lot of learning, and practicing.

These frames are with my 25 yards red satin Gypsy skirt that was custom made and sent to me directly from India. Pirate Pebbs has also borrowed this skirt a number of times.

I made the hip scarf myself. I believe I blogged about it on my Pirate wench Cosplay blog.

More test frames. I shot so many experimental sets that year. I have tons of this sort. I was practicing a lot.

Some are inspired my my dance teachers' promotional photos, and other students' promo photos, and others are more inspired by European stuff, like 1990s rave or old school clubbing promo photos.

I wish my hair was still thick like that, and at the times was already starting to thin down.

These are just a few test frames, when I was playing with the lighting and exposure for my camera.
