Honestly I would not have guessed that you'd say that. Should that tell me more about you or me? To me this shot is analogous to the punchline of a good bawdy joke: an initial shock followed by a gut laugh when you realize how utterly ridiculous it looks.

Re: PESO And now for something completely different [nsfw]
An unexpected bonus for me of working in creative studio settings is getting to know really interesting people, like this young woman who I can now call a friend. Models have an undeserved reputation as shallow, dull people, but that hasn't been my experience so far -- maybe I've just been fortunate. Alina, for example has the intelligence, drive and insights to become the CEO of a green tech company or something similar one day. Thank you Derby.

A tremendous number of my best photos can be described as: We were doing a fetish shoot, and things got silly. Thank you, Larry! I agree it's a bit dark. It's the model's edit (she's a photographer and graphic designer too) and she wanted a pseudo Polaroid look. Other than colour grading she did nothing else to it as far as I can see. It would be a bit dark because in order to accomplish the handstand she had to move to the right of my light setup where I had an overhead gridded softbox. -- -bmw -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
