Fellow collectors and dark arts fans,

We’re sharing a behind-the-scenes look at our recent Ceremony photoshoot with world-class art director and designer Brent Ashe.

Brent is a top-tier creative with a strong, distinct, and unconventional visual universe, so we knew we had to move away from typical studio photography. Enter local talent and exceptional photographer Chantal Levesque. Her freehand and instinctive approach brought a raw energy to the shoot.

The result aligned perfectly with Brent’s direction, giving the shoot a cinematic presence that sets it apart from anything we’ve done before.

The shoot was intense, focused, and filled with the kind of chaotic fun that happens when everyone’s in the zone.

Capturing the intricacies of this monochromatic statue was a challenge. But Brent and Chantal’s combined vision created a powerful, evocative portrayal that brought Neksis Vorn to life. Literally! 

These aren’t typical product shots. They offer a more expressive and stylized approach to collectible photography.

Brent’s direction and Chantal's keen eye added a strong cinematic mood. It gave the whole shoot a sense of depth and intention that fits perfectly with Brent’s Dominion universe.

You can see the final shots on the product page here.

Production update:

“Ceremony” is moving forward. The statue and the smaller statuette are both fully cast. We're waiting on a production slot so we can move into painting and packaging.
Still on schedule for late Q4 2025 or early Q1 2026.

Until then, you can visit houseofgog.com to preorder CEREMONY: The First Human–A.I. Collaborative Art Statue. A true masterpiece.
