Photography:
Todd Davis Photography - Unless otherwise indicated, all photos of fashions are the brilliant work of the legendary Todd Davis. Mr. Davis has a fantastic eye for the gorgeous and the grotesque, the mysterious and mystical, the provoking and profound. He has taken the official shots for demigods, megastars, and supermodels, yet still chooses to put up with me year after year, a fact which I am eternally grateful for.

Russ Brown III - From 1998 - 2001 photographer Russ Brown III helped launch Rose Mortem by taking stunning photos of my first three fashion lines. Photos by Russ currently included on rosemortem.com include those of the Rosae Calyx Veil, the Dianthus Rouge dress, and the Liseron Skirt.
Models:
At present, I've personally modeled for all of my fashion designs currently shown on rosemortem.com with the exception of the following:
Ashton Nyte - Salicaire Coat, Absynthium Jacket, Vitus Coat
Ashley Gellhausen - Vinca Gown, Lierre Dress, Meleze Dress, Epine Noir Gown
Genevieve Saucier - Genevieve Skirt in white, photo by Ann d'Abiose
Corsets:
Gallery Serpentine - This fabulous gothic clothing company based in Sydney, Australia has created some of the most decadent and luxurious corsetry I own. Designs shown with Gallery Serpentine corsets include: Poetes and Genevieve Skirts (Edwardian Overbust), Acanthe and Artemisia Skirts (Long Line Victorian).
Lady Maeve's Closet - This St. Louis based corsetier created my most treasured custom corset featuring my red and black crucifix brocade, upon request. Designs shown with this corset include the Narcisse and Lanicera Skirts. I should clarify that the designer doesn't appear to run a website anymore, and the corset I have was made with fabric I provided her with, so I'm not sure if an exact duplicate is available.
Corsetiers I have been privileged to order from and personally recommend in addition to the above include Meschantes & Dark Garden.
Misc:
The Awakening - in addition to my fashion label, I am also the pianist/keyboardist of The Awakening as of 2008. The band's fantastic legacy in South Africa of chart-topping hits, award-winning albums, global tours, performances at massive festivals of 30,000+, and general rockstarness predates my affiliation. I'm still honored to be a part of the band's present, and am very proud of the album I was involved in, The Awakening's 8th full length album entitled Tales of Absolution + Obsoletion (2009). I also host The Awakening's official store here.
