2009 and on

So I think it's high time I actually make a blog and update it, and I seriously promise to do so every time I shoot, and hopefully people will read it, ask questions, etc.

First order of business, posting about the last shoot I did, and first official one with this fashion/stylist/makeup and hair person I met through JamieLeigh on Model Mayhem. Her name is Christina Keelan, and you can visit her blog and model mayhem site. She's done work for Total Skull (Sherri Moon Zombie's clothing line) and sister site Lipstick Prophets, amongst countless other things you may have seen and not really known about.

So in order to prep up for the upcoming year and long term project we're working on that will hopefully culminate into a fashion show, a book, and a gallery showing (we're somewhat ambitious for not having done anything quite yet)
The model I used for this is Corinne, who has been one of my main models from the start of my photography career. The evolution of it all can be seen on my flickr in the Corinne set, and you'll see how I've progressed over the years.
The original idea involved mirrors, and colorful makeup, and that's really it for an initial concept. I don't have a studio to work with, so everything's kind of set up on the fly and sometimes, situations such as backdrops or room settings plain just don't work, but with the backdrop we had (12 dollars from Fabrics R us) this is what we came up with. Overall I'm pleased, and I know Corinne was happy because she always wanted to do crazy hair and makeup.

First a little behind the scenes shot:



and for the final product:



Lit with one grid spot (I love grid spot lighting at the moment)
