cOUNTESS gROTESQUE…

She attracts outfits from the best alt designers and she is also very good with Photoshop. As a result of that, we were able to do a shoot using a fabulous PurPur [i.e. the Gothic clothing, Soviet Totalitarian Style designer] futuristic Cyber Goth outfit, which ended up as an eye catching poster, complete with planets, and the tag line, ‘taking over the universe, one planet at a time’ thanks to those abilities.

There are not many top alt models that can do that. She is the total creative package for photographers, designers and models.

One of her favourite quotes is:
"I'm a creation of my own imagination” - Countess Grotesque.

And that imagination is fertile. As a photographer, I give her a concept and she improves on it. Improves? She makes the concept an awesome reality. For example, I gave her a simple idea. ‘Let’s make a female tree!’ I had done my Google images research and did not find many. She added her costumes, concepts, make up and modeling in a mini shoot one night and before I knew it, I had the awesome 'Tree of Death' images, plus the amazing bonus of 'Takito' the stick insect, terrorizing my model! :) Takito is Countess's pet.

Another of her faves is
“To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.” ― Oscar Wilde

She lives in a world of her own making; a world beyond our world; where we might fantasize, she does. Fantasy become reality is a beautiful thing to see. You can see some of this in the photos on these pages. I believe we need more of this in our lives. Examples of our dreams taking form in the real world.

And finally, on a lighter note, another of Countess’s quotes, that I can attest to, as can her many friends.

"There's a heart beneath the boobs and a brain beneath the wig." ― Dolly Parton

Countess is an amazing creative; I think of her as producing loving art with a sharp 'edge' that she expresses in her shoots. She packs so much into them. I hope I have painted the picture for you.

Countess is high value, and more than that, she can help create the images and experience that we have and have not yet dreamt of.
