Kuroshitsuji: The River Styx

Description

:blackrose: About the photo:
One of my own concepts for this photo was that we could be doing an alternate depiction of the end of Ciel's contract, referencing Greek mythology. Sebastian takes the role of the ferryman Charon, taking Ciel down the River Styx — the boundary between the world of the living, and the underworld.

A second scenario formed in my head after a while, this time playing on the more comedic side of Kuroshitsuji.

Sebastian: Young master's talent for getting himself kidnapped has reached amazing lengths. To think I would have to take down the ferryman of the River Styx to retrieve you. How could I call myself a butler of the Phantomhive household if I could not do such a thing?

Ciel: Don't use this to sing yourself praises. You were late.

Sebastian: Even I have my limits, my lord. The gate guardian Cerberus required much effort to restrain. Ordinary dogs are horrible enough, but to pit me against a three-headed demon hound? Young master can be so ruthless. Let us hope that it remains unconscious as we make our exit. Dinner preparations have yet to be made, and we are already behind schedule.

This is another shot from our set on the gondola, this time with Alfred ~shimekops photographing. I first uploaded this one. This time, I was able to take the oar and steer. It was pretty exhilarating balancing on the side of the boat to get to the stern, doing my best not to slip as I was wearing formal shoes with no traction. :lol:

I'm posting some of the outtakes on my Facebook page :pointr: [link] I'll be sharing a more complete set of outtakes and other behind-the-scenes photos in a journal entry after I've uploaded all the 'serious' shots onto my gallery. :lol:

:blackrose: Location:
Kindly...

A lot of you have been asking about the location, and I apologize but the activity organizers and property owner have advised us not to disclose that information. I hope it suffices to say it is not really a place for simply doing photoshoots, and we were just very fortunate to be invited. The place is private property reserved for special occasions. On a normal basis, people cannot just walk in there or take pictures without an appointment or paid booking. [bows] So sorry!
