In October last year, our friend elvesgonewild visited us again to hang out for the weekend. Aby and her both have elven costumes from the Lord of the Rings / The Hobbit franchise and we never managed to take photos together. And with conventions still being cancelled, we decided to take this to the woods. While forests tend to be difficult places for nice portrait photography (at least when you hate the color green like me, lmao), I  really wanted to try something different from the usual elf in the woods...

Back in April 2020, just when stores and all free time activities closed in Germany because of the pandemic, we were met with a lot of time on our hands. And as taking walks was still allowed, we thought to combine our regular walks in the woods with a photoshoot of Aby's Thranduil. When we arrived at one of our favorite mushroom-picking-spots, we were devastated though. Half of the forest that we used to roam barely one or two years ago, was just gone. Most of the trees had been cut...
