Wow, it's been rather a long time since I've written a journal entry on here. Although it's also been a rather long time since I've used DA full stop! I seem to have become a lurker, only checking out other people's work and neglecting my own. I may change that, although perhaps not.

This entry is serving the purpose of letting you know that I'm having a silent auction for two versions of a photo book containing my work from 2008-2009, which is back when I used DA heavily, and probably back when most of the people who followed me on here, found me. So I thought it may have been of some interest to you. If not, ignore this and carry on your merry way! If it does interest you, you can read more here.

Hope you're all well and all that jazz.

Wow, I've had a very long and exhausting day shooting in London, and just got back to the news that I'd been given a daily deviation today! This is my second one, and both have been of the awesome Ulorin Vex which isn't hugely surprising as that lady rocks hard! The photo is one of my favourites and was shot soo long ago, but I only recently got it to a standard that I was happy with, as the concept requires lots of digital manipulation, but I'm really happy with how it turned out, so it's really lovely to see that other people agree

Thankyou very very much to all the lovely people who've commented/favourited/added me to their watchlists and given me lamas! (I'm yet to understand wtf they are, but they make me smile anyway)

So um yeah! Thankyou!!

Hey everyone! (If there's even anyone still watching me?!)

I've been pretty absent from deviantart for a looong time. I kinda went off it, but I figured it's another way of networking, and I may as well get my account back together. So I've just had a mass clear out of the majority of old work that made me cringe, and am starting to upload my new work. I'm going to do a bunch a day so as not to flood your watch lists!

This is the ONLY place you can buy posters/prints of Cat Casino [link] There will never be any more by me, so grab these whilst you can!

I apologise for my lack of updating, I just grew sort of bored with this site and how so much of it now is just plain rubbish and I don't know, I'm rambling! I may update this at some point in the future, but I'm still updating my facebook [link] [link] modelmayhem [link] website [link] and blog [link] Phew.

I'm bored, so why not, Ask me anything! [link]

I'm having a clear out and am selling various clothes/shoes/etc that I won't be using again from shoots here [link]
If you're interested in anything either leave a comment on the livejournal entry or on here

Until 7th July in my Etsy [link] shop, go go go!

I'm going to try not to rant on about this, but it's a subject that really gets me annoyed and rather angry.

I own the copyright to all the images in my gallery, as I am the photographer. They all contain my watermark, and I also state in the information under them "Please do not use, manipulate or replicate without my permission" I would greatly appreciate it if people would respect this. I have had people making art out of my photographs without asking for my permission, and have also learnt of them being printed and put on peoples walls. My photos are available to buy here [link] and you can also buy them via Deviantart by simply telling me what photo you want at which size, sending me payment and giving me your address. it's not rocket science, it's manners!

Copyright exists even on the crazy world of the internet, please respect it or I will send ninjas after you. They will not respect you.

I've just created a shop on Etsy [link] for prints of my work, please feel free to visit! [link]

I'm still uploading images, but if you would like something specific from my gallery on DA and it's not there, feel free to let me know!

EDIT: I've just uploaded loads of new photos, including all of my sweetheart series, as well as one of and also

My new look website is up and running as of one hour ago! A few days ago I had never used Dreamweaver and now I have a full functioning site...I'm very chuffed!

I think there are still a couple of things to iron out, so I'd really appreciate it if people could check it out, and let me know what you think and if you find any bugs etc I havn't had a chance to check it out in Internet Explorer just yet!

EDIT: I now know about the image that doesn't work on the 'nude' page, thanks to Paul at Pixel Pie media! (very groovy, fun and clever set of guys, you should check them out) [link]

Does anyone know if I can change the background of the journal section if I don't have a subscription? The help section on here doesn't like me.

I took my own advice (egged on by ) and got myself a new Livejournal account. I'll mainly be posting in there rather than here, so here's a link if you're interested. [link]

Pointless entry - perhaps I should get a Livejournal again.

I don't know why but I woke up today with a huge feeling of excitement bubbling in my tummy, I think it's mainly due to the fact that I'm shooting again after a 6 week break. I feel so wrong and weird if it gets to more than a week without a shoot, like something's missing. How cliche of me.

I have so many shoots going on right now. Between tomorrow and November I have 14 booked, and several I'm waiting on dates for. That may not sound like a lot for over 3 months, but when you consider I have work and my Masters degree to do at the same time, it leaves me with pretty much no spare time! But I like it like that

Tomorrow will be my first proper shoot with a guy, I'm looking forward to that. It was supposed to be done for Antiseptic Fashion [link] but there was trouble with the delivery (due to me moving house >_< ) and also at customs, resulting in a charge of more than I could dream of having right now. So the clothes will be sent back without me even being able to see them *sob*. So tomorrow is just going to be some groovy beauty shots of my male model, hurrah!

Saturday's shoot went pretty well! I had poor Miss Vex [link] in a bath of cold pink milk, and also hanging out with zombie brain planet (although I have been told it looks rather like chewing gum haha) It was an entertaining shoot, and I'm happy with how they turned out. The bath shots will be up in the next week or so, I'm just trying to figure out how I want to present them heh.

My special offer prices are still on, but I'm almost completely booked up, so if you want a discounted shoot then get in touch!

A massive thankyou to everyone who gave me so much love on my DD yesterday! It was such a pleasant surprise! And muchos thanks to pirate photography [link] who suggested it

In other news, I am now starting to book dates for shoots for September onwards. If there's anyone interested in a shoot then feel free to get in touch for rates etc

I'm still on the look out for potential nude models, check out my previous entry for details on that



I'm also getting extremely annoyed at my stalker. It's getting out of hand and has set me up for a bad day >_< why can't things be more peaceful huh?



EDIT: Ready to wear limited edition and clearance items by Freyagushi, get them while they're hot!! [link]

Freyagushi's website (under reconstruction, but you can still order) [link]

It's been a while since I've done a nude shoot, and would really like to do some more from September onwards.

If there are any models interested, get in touch and I'll get back to you. I'm looking for people of all shapes and sizes, after all, the human body is beautiful in all its forms, and that's what I'd really like to capture, and perhaps make a series out of.
I'm open to creating classic art nudes, but would love to create something that is really out of the ordinary too.

To see nudes I've done before, go to my website [link] and go to the nudes page.

Sooo, I've uploaded some new photos of Sohuiii and have re-uploaded some photos of Ulorin Vex for Freyagushi as the designer wanted the photos tweaking a little bit hehe. I must say they do look better now the heart is redder, it's more obvious it's a heart.

So, these photos are of course all up in my website - Catherine Day

I still need to upload a couple of the Freyagushi shoot, but that will be done this afternoon now I have my bandwidth back.
- NOTE - Do not get a 3 mobile broadband usb dongle...thingy. They suck. Which is why I've been so bad at thanking people for all the favourites and watched lists. I will try to be better at that from now on!

On another note, Rive Magazine" has their 2nd issue out now, if you go to page 75 you will find me from there onto the next few pages! ^-^

Time for tea....


EDIT:

I have the following footwear lying around my house needing some feet to love them! The polka dot wellies are a size 7 with a small heel and concealed side zip, and the embroidered white pumps are a size 9.

They have only been worn for photoshoots, get in touch if you're interested!
