I see so much Goth Loli photography that I've developed major ennui. (I'm sure many of you can relate.) But every so often, I'll come across a self-portrait - almost always unconventional and provocative - that makes me do a double-take. Alli Jiang's photography consistently has this effect. She kindly gave me permission to share her Living Doll photo series, for which she modelled and did the digital enhancing.
It's a striking concept - a living Gothic Lolita doll. Alli drew on the ball-joints with eyeliner and eye shadow.
Alli wears a blouse and hair flower from Hong Kong store Spider. I posted about the Gothic Lolita brand here; I have a similar hair accessory from the same shop!
The photos in this series were taken in Xinghai Guobao, Dalian, China. In the first photo, the fantastical castle is in fact real.
