Thrown on the Floor

2013Jeremy K

I am broken. A doll thrown on the floor. Maybe someone will pick me up again.

Same location 3 photographers

Like everyone who is in the photography business I have a favorite location to shoot.  It is only available 2-3 months out of the year and no I will not tell you.  A woman has to have a few secrets.   :-)

Anyway I first brought Andrew K in 2010.  The deep grey of the cement, grass and even my hair makes the almost purulence of my skin glow like the moon.  The asymmetry of my pose, the wall and the foliage pulls your eyes more to the center of the image.  As a note this was I think my second nude shoot and first with Andrew.  Needless to say this and my jumping images  cemented him as a consent partner.

And again with  Bill of Pixel Elegance in 2011.  Bill came up from California on a vacation and stopped in my hometown.  I love the desaturated nature of his editing.  Also one thing that amazes me is my ribcage to hip connection, no other photographer has managed to make it look so...AWESOME.  Seriously most of the time if my ribcage pops under my pelvic bone (at least what it feels like) it looks strange and unnatural.  But here we managed o make it look sexy and intentional.  It helps that my hands, feel and expression are relaxed.

Note when one is modeling one of the easiest ways to make it look like you are relaxed it to keep you extremities and face relaxed.  Its hard but it totally works!

And finally in 2013 with CCP Photography.  This was the most technical as there are 4 of me, yet also super fun to shoot as we had to block each pose to prevent overlap.  The harsh light was not helpful but its all good!

Each time I got different image with their own unique style.  Though they are the same location I feel they are vastly different. Each reflecting the photographer, the light and our experience together.

I fixed it!

I finally fixed my computer!  I should have done it weeks ago but I was busy and I thought it was going to be way harder then it actually was.

This is one for the most technically challenging images I have ever created with a photographer.  Charles found a beautiful image and making of a dancing story.  The photographer captured the movement of the dance yet still had a sharp image.

We created this image by having a strobe on, but not up to full power.  I would start a movement when the shutter on the camera was opened and try to hit looking into the strobe when Charles manually flashed the strobe and closed the shutter a split second later.  The time on this was so hard to do but when we got it right we got it really right. 

We plan on doing this shoot again when we can rent a theater space with black walls and floors and possibly bring a lead (man) in to help with more complicated dancing movements.  I will post more images from this shoot in the future but

New photo Monday

Not rain, or wind, or rocks, or missing the trail head will stop a determined photographer and model from shooting.

I have a tun to look forward to in the upcoming month! Three photo shoots! :-D 

And a dead C drive on my computer. :-( Until I reformat it (maybe tomorrow) I will be posting images out of my email. As 99% of my photographers give me images on a disk....we will be seeing a lot of Absolute Reality Studio's work! As he takes lovely images I don't feel this will be a hardship on anyone. 

Ps. Next week I get to work with him hiking around the woods. I might even get a second model to come along! -squee!- I am so excited!

You can always use more of me! Right? Right?

Charles is so fum to work with.  He falls under my creative and really good technical photographer categorizes.  This was fun shot to make happen!  Plus could the world really handle 7 of me?

A dress of shadow lace

I have another image here from Andrew and my shoot a few weeks ago in the barn with one patch of light to play with. I love how the shadows of the plants outside play across my back like lace and there is even a bracelet of shadow on my left wrist. My spine, normaly an unnoticed detail of the back, acts as a zipper to this shadow clothing. Standing out starkly from the shadows.

I must have been gripping something with my left toe as they are the only tense part of my body that I can see. One of the hardest part of modeling is to look completely relaxed in any situation.  Hands, toes, your jaw and eyes can betray cold, something hurting or not feeling 100% comfortable in the situation. The trick to modeling is to know when to show you are colder then hell sitting in a stream or to look as if it is a hot spring, the one place in the world any person would want to be.  Luckily here my tense  toes add to the shot rather then distract, adding interest rather then worry.
