Low Tek Photography

Thanks to my shitty luck this week I’ve got a ton of free time. I did a quick test shoot with a model last Sunday by the name of Tempast. When I answered the door she was wearing a grey wifebeater, grey shorts while carrying about 4 fantasy swords and 3 knives. All of them ranging from “Fucking Sharp” to “Please don’t point that at me”. Who needs an escort when you have a finely sharpened Ninja Straight Blade complete with a matching Tanto?

When I asked her where her wardrobe was, she says she didn’t bring any.

“Oh, well I guess that makes what we’re shooting today a lot easier to figure out.” Normally for test shoots the model brings along a few outfits or costumes to put on. Apparently, she didn’t have a problem not bringing clothes. Clothed or not, I still think I can take a good picture. =]

Bebe is a model from Washington DC. She’s got a great site up at TheBebeDoll.com. We did this shoot during DragonCon since she was part of a promotion group called Troma. She was a little worried about me shooting her since she “wasn’t like the typical skinny models I shoot all the time”. Hehehe, if only she knew.

So on DragonCon’s “Hangover Sunday” I picked her up early and we started shooting. She had a few outfits and we managed to shoot all of them, including a few without them too. This is also the last Liquid Latex shot I’m going to do for a while. At least until I can come up with something more creative to do with the stuff.

She was a lot of fun to work with and seemed really at ease in front of my camera.

Taken the day before my birthday. For those that know me, yeah I’ve lost some weight.

You know what? Taking a picture of yourself with an SLR and a softbox is fucking hard.

Those crazy dutch sex people did a write up on me and my photography. There will be a full interview with me in about a month I am told. Lovechess is an erotic computer chess game. You can see some of the screenshots of the game on their site. Apparently they also regularly feature erotic artwork and photography of up and coming artists.

I am kind of amazed at how much info he was able to find out about me. Ah well. The internet isn’t the greatest place to hold one’s secrets very well.

Yup today is my birthday. Didn’t do anything too crazy, I’m saving that for this weekend. I do have to work tomorrow…

Anyway, while I was shooting Genevieve, Fela was cool enough to come hang out and let me take some pictures of her under one condition: I couldn’t erase any of her tattoos. Except for this old one on the small of her back, but that’s another story.

So I decided to shoot her naturally…

…and by that, I mean covered in oil…

…in a cold studio.
