Just in case some of your are wondering, I’ve been a complete and utter doofus and broken things on my site.¬† I’ve manged to sort most of them out, but there are still a couple of things that aren’t working at the moment.¬† Please bear with me whilst I sort these out.
Alternative Shoot
July 14th, 2008A couple of weeks back I was experimenting again with my photography.¬† I had originally planned on doing something along a gothic theme, however, when the model arrived it became clear that my original ideas weren’t going to work.¬† So instead I just let the session flow and tried out different things.
The first thing I decided to attempt, was something that was primal and had a dark feeling to it.  So adjusting the lighting to a minium I asked Misty to jump up on the table and try to look as primal and aggressive as possible.
To try and help with the aggressiveness of the shoot I even tried drop down to give the viewer a sense of being overpowered/under Misty, but this doesn’t seem to have come through in the images as well as I had hoped.¬† Obviously I need to drop down a little more to actually make it come through in the pictures.¬† All that being said, I’m still happy with the results, especially the second one.
After this set of images, we carried continued exploring other ideas that both Misty and I had.¬† I’ll talk about these some more when I upload these images.¬† However, one image that I would like to share with you know is a rather menacing image, well at least I think it is.
Misty had kindly brought along a surgical mask that you see Doctors wearing when they are operating (well at least on TV they wear them), and a pair of latex gloves.  Instantly I knew exactly the type of shot I wanted, and after a couple of test shots to make sure the lighting was right I bagged the one I was after.
I was interested in seeing what people’s reactions would be to the image, so as a little experiment I set the image as the background picture on my office computer.¬† Now when people came to see me they saw the above image looking right back at them from the two 20″ screens on my desk.¬† It created some very interesting results, most people seem to be captivated by the image, unable to stop staring at it whilst they try to make their mind up about it.
I’ll put some more images from this shoot up soon, but for now back to work.¬† As always simply click the image to get a larger view of the picture.
