We
pretty much have to put the
model into a corner, which
limits the lighting
options. For these
pictures, we use a single light
source with the large softbox
& let the light bounce off
the walls for fill light.
This works well. |
I
like the crouching-type poses
here. Somehow, it looks
like Brooke has been captured --
an exciting concept, I
think. I also like the
wide angle distortion -- it's no
so pronounced as to be
distracting, but it makes things
interesting. Also, I note
that I've included Brooke's feet
in the photo -- I am well aware
that I usually crop the model's
feet out of the image.
Somehow, it makes these images
feel even more nude than the
others -- there is no doubt,
everything is uncovered.
So, here's to the feet
fans. |
The
digital camera is set at its widest angle here, and it shows, but the
distortion isn't so back. For a change, it's nice to be working
close to the model -- she is perhaps a yard away. I like how her
foot anchors the bottom left corner of this image. |

Happy
accident.
Well,
perhaps "accident" is
a little strong, after all, I
negotiated with the model, got
her here, had the equipment, had
the lighting, set everything up,
was open to what was happening,
and was there at the right
time. During the secret
gallery portion of Leilani
& Madison's recent visit,
I had a similar
"accident". I
like it -- I like the
informality of it all.
It's nice. Maybe I'll try
to do it on purpose, but I'm not
sure it'll be as magical.

Unlike
the Jessica setup, we decide to get Brooke wet, and I am glad we
did. |
|
|
Throughout
this setup, the digital camera
is hand-held. If I was to
use the film camera, I would
have wanted to put it on a
tripod, but I suppose I could
hand-hold it, too.
Regardless, the digital camera
is light & easy to handle,
and I take advantage of it to
try different angles, like
looking at Brooke from above,
here. |
|
Well,
we got wet, we next tried some baby
oil. While I'll admit that the
results were a bit more
"glamorous" than my normal
images, I'm glad we did this. |
|
Given
the constraints of working in the
shower, I think we did well.
Sitting
Assessment: Given
that I was unprepared for Brooke's
arrival, I think we did a real good
job here. Things I learned
during this sitting:
-
I
could do more with different
angles, positioning the camera
above or below the model.
-
Wide
angle images are interesting.
-
I
liked the pictures of Brooke on
her belly -- I love the curve of
the small of her back.
-
The
images where Brooke is nude but
all the "naughty bits"
are not showing are exciting.
-
The
digital images require precise
exposure -- there isn't a lot of
latitude in the digital exposures.
-
I
can think of all sorts of ideas
for working in the shower.
What
do you think?
