Hey everyone!


Hope you're all enjoying the silly season


I'm sorry I havent been submitting anything or answering many emails lately, but I recently got a promotion at work, making me the youngest assistant manager in the company! I'm really happy about it, but i've been moved to a different store, where I deal with atleast one drug addict a day, and called 'f**king bitch' every week. The joys of Blacktown Im happy for the promotion, but I'm so down about being stuck in such a horrible place, its draining me dry!


This is also my third Christmas away from my family, but so is life I guess.


Tomorrow, I turn 21! I'm starting to feel old now, and apparently I look it too! The people at my new store told me they thought I was 26!! Oh well, time for an image overhaul I think! And I'm looking forward to having a small celebration with a few close friends some time soon too



Well enjoy Christmas everyone, have fun and be safe

Lots of love, Niansa xxx

Hey People!

Yes, I'm alive! *gasp* Despite being absent from DA for a rather long time, I havent forgotten about it


The past month I've been acting Assistant Manager at EB Games, creating havok and mayhem whilst playing games not entirely true, the havok and mayhem happen themselves, working in retail at christmas is a nightmare! But its been fun non the less I have also been commissioned to do some game reviews for a website, so very happy about getting to write about what i enjoy


Had the opportunity to work with the very talented just the other morning too, a lovely shoot to break up this horrible dry spell ive had! Hopefully its the start to loads more shoots happening soon!


Anyways, this is my first day off in forever, so im going to go and nerd it up and play some Assassins Creed 2!

Over and out!

Another DD! This time it was on a photo from my first ever collaboration with the extremely talented it was one of the first shots from our shoot too!

a huge thank you to all of the kind comments

Now Im going to do some vote-whoring, please forgive me...

I recently entered the Zoo Real Girls 09 competition online, and i'd really appreciate it if you took a minute to go and vote for me give my pics and my profile 5 stars, an click the 'vote for me' button you can vote as many times as you like, so if you have alot of spare time or really want to get RSI in your finger, then it'd be much appreciated

you can find my profile here - [link]

i apologise for the questionaire at the bottom...i copied alot of it from a Zoo magazine do i really look like the kinda person who would say those kind of things?! actually, dont answer that

Had a few shoots lately, one for Shaboosh clothing store and their website, was awesome rocking the custom made 60'a designs, and i got $700 of clothing as payment, which was very generous The website will be up soon!

Also did a shoot for an art gallery exhibition, based on the greek goddesses. I was picked to be Athena, and i have to admit, it is really hard to look glamorous and feminine whilst wearing a huge helmet and trying to hold up both a double-edged sword and a real bronze shield! I also managed to catch a cold whilst waiting around in the drafty hallway, but it means i can stay at home and eat soup all day!

Have finally gotten a floor put down in our room! now i dont have to tiptoe around on bare concrete and sweep up 5 times a day...still a lot to do though, but i'll leave it to the men and play me some Dead Space!

Oh, and if you havent already, check out the song Phat Planet by Leftfield...i spent years wondering who the song was by or what it was called, and i finally found out! its been abusing my soundsystem ever since! go forth and enjoy!



Right, it is getting pretty late, there are a ton of misspellings in here, and I have to go and scoop the cat out of the laundry basket.

Niansa out

Lately i've been finding im getting more and more addicted to my videogames! When im not playing F.E.A.R. in the dark, I'm fantasizing about how amazing Tekken 6 and Assassins Creed 2 are going to be!

And to feed my gaming frenzy, anyone interested in collaborating on a videogame-inspired shoot? Im up for anything!

And i'd also like to work with someone on making a Nina Williams outfit! I'd prefer a Christie Monteiro outfit, but that requires very little cloth and Im not a brunette either, so Nina it is! Anyone wanna help?

Who wouldnt want an asskicking outfit like this?!

Have a few shoots next week, for a clothing designer and for a museum exhibition, where i get to portray the mighty Athena! Will be wearing custom-made armor sent over from India! I can imagine it getting damaged somehow, knowing my luck! but it will still be awesome being part of such a project


Right, im going to go and mash some buttons on F.E.A.R., Super-geek Niansa, over and out!

Been meaning to update in a while, but havent been up to the task of doing so.


I now have a car! A lovely little 1988 Ford Laser named Brian, who is happily helping my trundle along my way to getting my license! Because i left the country for a holiday though, i have to wait 6months before i can apply for it, so im getting as much practice in as i can! so beware, in 6months time, terror, mayhem and bloodshed are going to happen (and thats before i get out of the driveway) but if you dont like my driving, get off the footpath!


My health has gone down the bog again, i'm back on the painkillers and being a grouchy old couch potato. How is still alive and putting up with my short-temperedness, i'll never know!But its starting to take its toll on me, mentally and physically, and i feel like an 80yr old! Heres hoping i get some stronger painkillers and a brighter outlook


also looking at getting a second job at the minute, which will fund my love of buying outraging things for shoots! but it would be a welcomed change too


Have got a few shoots in the pipeline at the minute, also hoping to organise a trip to melbourne and a second trip to adelaide, not sure on dates though, but it wont be for a while. if you're a melbourne or adelaide photographer, drop me a note so i can add you to the roster


Right, im sure ive forgotten something to mention, but im sure i'll think it up as i shoot nazi zombies on Wolfenstein!
