Gothic festival “Summer Darkness 2009 ” in Utrecht – Part III. Fashion show. “Attitude Holland”

See Part I and Part II.

Publishing the third part before I forget about it for two more years 😉

These 22 photos are from the Gothic/fetish/lolita fashion show by Attitude-Holland. What I specifically like is the wetlook lycra. It also reminds me the “other” matte side of latex sheeting. This is the material I would like to have leotards, swimsuits and zentai suits made from!

Anybody can win a place in the fashion show in the following categories: fetish, gothic, lolita, burlesque/pin-up, emo or whatever the organizer/manufacturer invents. All models are from “the real public”. You can check on the website who won this year.

Gothic festival “Summer Darkness 2009” in Utrecht – Part II

See Part I

Two moments.

First. It took me two years to return to this event and finally sort and process the photos I made there. (There will be one more part). And today (what a coincidence!) I’ve been to the Summer Darkness festival again.

Second. It too me five years to figure out why my vivid photos look so flat and lifeless on the website. And the reason is … oh…. this is soooo embarrassing… wrong colour space!

Now I have to either reprocess all the published photos again, or leave them as they are. I will probably redo only the posts I was going to rewrite/reformat anyway. In this set there are pictures in both sRGB and AdobeRGB spaces.

Gothic festival in Utrecht 2009 – Part I

img__08296l Gothic festival in UtrechtSummer Darkness (“a dark underground interdisciplinair festival”) took place in the gothic centre of Utrecht from Aug 05 to Aug 09. I managed to get to Domplein only on the last day – Sunday. Now I know that I should’ve found more time to enjoy the very special atmosphere! A sea of positive emotions, smiles and “courteosity” everywhere, more photographers than goths, and, of course, the clothes styles varying from pinky flowery anime to vampires and dark medieval wizards and witches.

However – no latex. Pantyhose, stockings new and laddered worn everywhere and on all body parts – yes. Shiny vinyl – yes. Latex-wet-look lycra – yes. Velvet and leather – yes. Corsets and super high heeled boots – yes. But no latex. Actually, latex is way more expensive and much less practical… But still…

Anyway, I made 350 photos within just a few hours. I’m still post-processing them. This is the first part.
