Celestial Bodies
Portrait Session Giveaway
Some people spend their entire lives admiring beauty without ever allowing themselves to exist inside it.
Three celestial worlds. One immersive portrait experience.
The Sun. The Moon. The Stars.
A limited portrait experience by Obsidian + Blush.
Enter for the chance to receive one of three fine art portrait session prizes inspired by celestial mythology, cosmic lighting, and fashion editorial storytelling.
Designed for couples, close friends, and individuals drawn to immersive imagery, rich atmosphere, and portraits that feel pulled from another universe.
Applications close August 3rd.
This experience exists for the version of you that keeps getting postponed.
This is for the people who have spent years feeling drawn to cinematic imagery, mythology, fashion editorials, fantasy worlds, and emotionally charged art - but never fully imagined themselves inside it.
They save inspiration.
Collect references.
Admire the atmosphere.
Feel emotionally connected to beauty, symbolism, drama, and storytelling.
But when it comes time to step in front of the camera themselves, they shrink.
They tell themselves:
“Maybe someday.”
“When I feel more confident.”
“When I lose weight.”
“When life slows down.”
“When I finally feel comfortable being seen.”
And eventually, years pass with nothing to show for the version of themselves they’ve always quietly wanted to experience.
This was created for the people who are tired of waiting to feel worthy of existing inside the art they’ve always been drawn to.
Each concept has been designed as a fully built visual world with custom styling direction, layered lighting, set design, guided posing, and editorial-inspired portraiture.
Every session includes:
Creative direction and planning
Wardrobe guidance and assistance
Fully guided posing
Three themed set designs
Professional hair and makeup
Full creative session
Artwork credit
Guided planning consultation
If something in you whispers “yes”… follow it.
That’s all you need to begin.
☀️ THE SUN:
Golden light, warmth, opulence, movement.
Inspired by solar mythology, gilded tones, candlelight, vintage glamour, and radiant editorial imagery.
THE SETS:
🌙 THE MOON:
Silver tones, shadow, softness, mystery.
Built around lunar imagery, reflective textures, midnight palettes, sculptural light, and cinematic intimacy.
✨ THE STARS:
Constellations, sparkle, deep blues, cosmic drama.
A celestial fantasy environment inspired by astronomy, surreal fashion editorials, and star-filled night skies.
