A visual archive of self-fashioned gothic and punk personas

RazorCandi gathers more than a decade of images centered on transformation through makeup, clothing, props, and body-focused styling. The photographs document a deliberately constructed range of looks, with deathrock, goth, and punk imagery at the forefront alongside cosplay and classic pinup references. Developed from portraits first shared online and expanded across magazine work, the collection frames personal presentation as a visual-art practice shaped by painting, music, cosmetology, and character design. As a hardcover photography volume, it functions as a concentrated look at one artist’s evolving image-making and subcultural fashion vocabulary.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Fans of gothic, deathrock, and punk fashion photography
  • Readers interested in makeup, costume, and personal transformation as visual art
  • Collectors of pinup, cosplay, and alternative-style coffee-table books

Book overview

When a teenage RazorCandi first started posting deathrock portraits of herself, shot by her twin sister, to LiveJournal, she became one of the first social media stars. Thousands of photos, and dozens of magazine covers later, and with a cosmetology degree under her studded belt, RazorCandi is a true master of style and personal transformation. She meticulously sketches out her makeup and clothing and props beforehand, to create a fully designed character for every shoot. Best known for her deathrock, gothic, and punk looks, RazorCandi also dabbles in cosplay and classic pinup. As a visual artist, she has taken her loves of painting and music to turn herself into a living breathing work of art. This coffee table book collects up a spectrum of her best images from a body of work spanning more than a decade and still going strong.

"RazorCandi has carved out her own territory in the world of goth and fetish fashion with electrifying pictorials showcasing her intense and unique look. Body modification, corsetry, pin-up style glam and bondage-inspired looks are all fodder for Razor's restless mind." -Ed Grabianowski, Gothic.net

"Deathrock icon ... Raising the bar for and inspiring fashion and art savvy goths ... truly an art form." -S
