Low Tek Photography

[View with PicLens]

More often than not, my imagination far exceeds the limitations of my budget. It’s frustrating a lot of times because I have shots and themes that I’ve wanted to shoot ever since I got serious about photography. And like most average Americans, I never have enough money to truly create what I want. So when I can finally devise of an easy (ie, cheap) method to shoot a scene, the hard part is finding a model who will do it. You have no idea how difficult it is to explain an idea like Septem:Luxuria and not sound like a completely psychotic pervert.

Luckily, I have Fela. Fela knows how crazy I am, but also trusts me enough to know the difference between sticking foreign objects in her for the sake of art, and being perverted. After finishing the Septem:Luxuria shot I went back through the set and realized that I liked how a lot of the other shots came out. So I picked out a few more and decided to polish them a bit.
