The return of the Noonwraith
Added 2025-05-25 09:26:03 +0000 UTCRemember how I told you, that according to slavic beliefs Noonwraiths appeared in the fields when the crops were in bloom, and after the harvest they went away to distant lands, from where they returned next year? So this photoshoot was inspired by their return.
Right now in Poland it's the season of rapeseed. Beautiful yellow fields are visible in the whole countryside and although the weather isn't very hot - Południca has already returned.
Also I wanted to apologize for making you wait. This post was supposed to appear on friday evening but it was a busy weekend and I finally had a chance to edit the photos this morning. Thank you so much for your patience!
Love, Erinthul.

It made me interested in learning more about about other cultures and their mythology, which led me to your photography. I love this shoot. The transparent effect you added was excellent and the juxtaposition of the otherworldly figure and a flowering field in daylight is something special. Thank you for bringing these stories to life!

2025-05-26 14:09:30 +0000 UTCWow, fantastic set!! Wonderful rhythms and juxtaposition between the rapeseed and porcelain skin. Some of them seem to move (especially the hair!), whilst others are as if you've caught the ghost of a glance from something beyond, something sacred. I guess that's heatstroke personified? Either case, this was some super inspiration for my writing today. Can't wait to see what comes next! <3
