Costume design has always been the place where my imagination runs wild. My work leans heavily into fantasy, festival culture, steampunk, and the postapocalyptic worlds I have spent so many years exploring and photographing. I love building pieces that feel lived in and full of story, the kind of costumes that look like they walked in from another world and decided to stay a while.
Leather has become one of my favorite materials because it carries memory and character. I also enjoy taking found objects and repurposed materials and giving them a new life, letting each piece guide the design as it evolves. What you see here is a collection of moments in that process. Every build has its own history, and this gallery holds many of the worlds I have created along the way.
The photos turned out better than I could have ever imagined! I was nervous at first, and had honestly never done something like this before so I was a little out of my comfort zone, but Vic helped me to feel comfortable and confident in my own skin. I had a lot of fun too! Vic gives great direction and really plays to your strengths. I felt beautiful, powerful, and can’t wait until my next photo booking!
– CholieThank you Victor for holding a space for me in our photo shoot for me to feel beautiful, safe and free. We got some wonderful photos.
Love.
