Some photo sessions take a familiar theme and twist it into something unforgettable. That’s exactly what happened when we welcomed Skyhooknova into our Long Beach studio. She showed up in full force with a goth-inspired cowgirl look that was equal parts dark western, alternative fashion, and pure creative magic.

With her black cowboy hat, wizard-like flowing sleeves, leather belt and one-piece, and boots, she brought an energy that felt iconic from the moment she stepped in front of the camera. The result? A series of portraits that blend gothic edge with classic western style—something you don’t see every day in Los Angeles or Long Beach photography.

The Look: Goth Meets Cowgirl

The outfit was a bold statement: baggy gothic sleeves that looked straight out of a fantasy world, paired with sharp western elements like the cowboy hat and boots. That balance of dark elegance and rugged style gave us endless room to play with poses, angles, and dramatic lighting.

In every frame, Skyhook carried the look with confidence, showing how alternative fashion can be both powerful and playful. These photos weren’t just portraits—they were a performance, a visual story that combined gothic mystery with cowgirl toughness.

Skyhook’s Modeling Presence

Working with Skyhooknova was a true pleasure. She didn’t just wear the outfit—she embodied it. Every pose came naturally, every expression hit the mark, and the resulting photos have that rare quality of feeling both staged and spontaneous. That’s the sign of a great model: someone who can bring out the soul of a concept while keeping it fresh and fun.

The images we captured together feel timeless—edgy enough for the alternative crowd, but iconic enough to belong on a poster.
