I have just recently discovered an interest in photography and so I have directed my newest fascination towards my biggest hobby, LARPing. From time to time, I will update this page with photos of my latest subjects for others to enjoy, appreciate or even be inspired by the hard work put into the costuming and make-up of these dedicated group of players. I got into LARPing a little over ten years ago. I have been playing Nero for three of those years. Thanks to all my followers for supporting me!Tumblr (3.0; @araighne)http://araighne.tumblr.com/<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/6b62dac3904d11c8d78cf40b57048aac/tumblr_mlqb34dWDB1r4vjaeo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Caster</p>http://araighne.tumblr.com/post/53210832040http://araighne.tumblr.com/post/53210832040Mon, 17 Jun 2013 14:30:35 -0400larpLive Action Role Playingfantasymedievaldark elfcostumingboffer<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/c84f9acaf5270bc458bb3512992fb87a/tumblr_mlqakrRY0O1r4vjaeo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://araighne.tumblr.com/post/51569917278http://araighne.tumblr.com/post/51569917278Tue, 28 May 2013 13:24:40 -0400larpLIVE ACTION ROLE PLAYmedievalfantasycostumingarmorboffer<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/2b3c684d8bc23863e0e0202865bca78f/tumblr_mlqaauqF6Y1r4vjaeo3_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>The Tribe (Taken at Nero Atlanta)</p>http://araighne.tumblr.com/post/50921418447http://araighne.tumblr.com/post/50921418447Mon, 20 May 2013 14:25:29 -0400larpLIVE ACTION ROLE PLAYcostumingbarbarianbofferfantasy<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/356c994a79ac124ee83556ce824e1913/tumblr_mlqa1oKn8o1r4vjaeo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/62f29cc5218b9748b23129d2821507b1/tumblr_mlqa1oKn8o1r4vjaeo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/>http://araighne.tumblr.com/post/50352551447http://araighne.tumblr.com/post/50352551447Mon, 13 May 2013 13:44:50 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/448a7cc878044ed7a79ba77bc8d21968/tumblr_mlq9tnUtj91r4vjaeo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/bf59bb008428b6b7eed2ab1e78af6f07/tumblr_mlq9tnUtj91r4vjaeo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/ad57b7e58ea6f7d62cc5e34a6b1a17ff/tumblr_mlq9tnUtj91r4vjaeo3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>Barbarian (Taken at Nero Atlanta)</p>http://araighne.tumblr.com/post/49788288256http://araighne.tumblr.com/post/49788288256Mon, 06 May 2013 14:39:05 -0400barbarianfantasylarpLIVE ACTION ROLE PLAYcostumingboffershield<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/48e4aac8550e07bae24eed4b5d090fe1/tumblr_mlor82lcaN1r4vjaeo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>From a modeling gig with Nathan Carter <a class="external" href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?https://www.facebook.com/AvidchickProductions">[link]</a>.</p> <p>Headdress was made by B3 Designs <a href="http://senorwong.deviantart.com/">http://senorwong.deviantart.com/</a></p>http://araighne.tumblr.com/post/49190001648http://araighne.tumblr.com/post/49190001648Mon, 29 Apr 2013 14:01:07 -0400vikingLARPLive Action Role PlayingB3 DesignsAvid Chick Productionsfemale armorfantasyleather armorleather<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/34ffeb7a9bf22e5277506ececf2818c6/tumblr_mlor7h0eiJ1r4vjaeo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>From a modeling gig with Kelly Powell <a class="external" href="http://www.deviantart.com/users/outgoing?https://www.facebook.com/kellypowellphoto?hc_location=timeline">[link]</a>.</p> <p>Armor was made by Archaic Leatherworks <a href="http://xavietta.deviantart.com/">http://xavietta.deviantart.com/</a></p> <p>and headdress was made by B3 Designs <a href="http://senorwong.deviantart.com/">http://senorwong.deviantart.com/</a></p>http://araighne.tumblr.com/post/48703231343http://araighne.tumblr.com/post/48703231343Tue, 23 Apr 2013 13:28:51 -0400vikingLARPLive Action Role Playingarmorleather armorscale mailfantasyfemale armorarchaic leatherworksB3 DesignsPowell Photography<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/3de8242e36739aea25f4da62671acb96/tumblr_ml9jdrJMNo1r4vjaeo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/72c4814ddcb75c1fa2ec2fe036f5b1bc/tumblr_ml9jdrJMNo1r4vjaeo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/2780a1444ddbff594c4f907f190696d9/tumblr_ml9jdrJMNo1r4vjaeo3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>Shaman -
