⚡ Embrace the chaos.
ProPic by @iphotouk
Welcome to Switch 89, where we embrace the chaos! It’s the same old Switch account with a fresh new look, but with a few changes. Here’s what you can expect: my work, behind-the-scenes content, gaming and film chat, and the odd splash of adult humour.
I’ll be sharing my unfiltered thoughts and experiences, and there’s much more to come. If you know me, you know I love to embrace the chaos.

Exciting update on our workshop!
As most of you know, on October 11th we are hosting our Cinematic Photography & Lighting Workshop based at the spectacular Basford Photography & Filming Location, along with 2 amazingly talented, and well established models (Its.chloehill & Piezorplays).
In addition we are proud to announce the exciting news that we will now be collaborating with Essential Photo & Video, Godox and Pixapro for this workshop.
At this full day 8 hour workshop session, you’ll have the chance to learn tips and techniques from 3 experienced mentors (myself ‘Iphotouk’, Tom ‘Switch_8.9’, and Shalimar ‘Shalimarsstuff’), with a wide range of experience in the field of cinematic style photography & lighting, both in the cosplay community & beyond.
We’ll provide both theory & practical mentoring for up to a maximum of 10 photographers, where you will get the chance to not only learn about what makes a cinematic image, and how to create it, but also have ample opportunity to get hands on throughout the day to create your own cinematic masterpieces with both models around the venue, all under the watchful guidance of our experienced mentors.
We’ll also have a selection of lighting on set from Godox/Pixapro provided by our event partner for this event (Essential Photo & Video) to show you how to get the best possible lighting setups to make your shots truly cinematic, as well as having some products for you to get hands on with yourself throughout the day. However, please feel free to bring your own lighting equipment if you prefer.
In addition, we’ll also provide food and drink throughout the day. So the only thing you will really need to bring is yourself and your camera.
And all of this for just £225 per person. To secure your space all we require is a £100 deposit, with the remaining balance to be paid no later than 14 days before the event (all deposits are non refundable).
We now have very limited spaces left for this event. So to avoid missing out, contact us directly via our Nexus 13socials, or DM Iphotouk/Switch 89 to book now.
We look forward to welcoming you on this cinematic journey at Basford this autumn.

“It never ends…”
A darker, more battle-worn take on Marcus Phoenix from Gears of War, captured at Secret Con UCAP Bunker, Portsmouth back in March 2026.
The heavy armour, the scarred look, and the cold blue lighting all helped push this frame into that brutal, frontline feel Marcus is known for.

“Follow her laughter too far, and the forest will forget how to give you back.”
Leshonka, daughter of the Leshy, is a woodland spirit born from Slavic forest myth — beautiful, playful, and deeply dangerous. She lures the unwary deeper into the wild, but those who respect the forest may find a guide instead of a curse. Cross her, and you may wander until you forget your own name.

View Instagram Stories in Secret
The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
