I'm back with Raxi again and this time we're collaborating on a different project. She has been working on her Ken Kaneki genderbend (altering the total physical appearance of an original character to accommodate the opposite sex) from the anime series, "Tokyo Ghoul"

and of course some portraits of herself ;)

Hanging from atop of a bridge to get this shot. A classic of my style, the bird's eye view.

We did a few shots of her in the Kaneki genderbend cosplay, now it's just her normal self being a model.

I just love how her hair covers the face.

I told her to hang on the bridge's beam, but she felt reluctant.

I'm glad she did. One of my favorite shots.
