Unzipped...
Posted by dj.tigersprout (New York City, United States) on 9 November 2009 in Lifestyle & Culture and Portfolio.
a quick post from the results of my first legit photo shoot w/ a model sunday evening! i have a good amount of work to do with processing over the next few days to prep the 30 or so shots we will use, so i will post other shots at a later time once the final selection has been made -- but this was one of the last shots of the day, and something we aren't thinking of using for the 'story' -- and it was an instant favorite! :)
a big shout out to AM3 friend and local neighbor Peter Khoury for lending me his tripod as i had left mine at another friends house a few weeks back!! cheers to you mate -- it was a lifesaver!!! :)

k@ from Paris, France
Super gesture and compo, almost like an abstract with these triangles and the red velvet-like one is beautiful, theatratical or operatic mood for me here*

Tammy Warren-Cricket from United States
Welcome back! I know you have a great deal of work ahead of you. I've been shooting "haunted images" for a local book that is being published in my area about untold ghost stories. I have to tell you, the hardest part begins NOW. Going through each image and deciding whether or not this is IT. Then the processing that you have to apply.
I'm sure this was very exciting, draining, but fun for you!
I look forward to seeing your style show throughout your images.
This one is artistic and PLAYFUL. I love it.
9 Nov 2009 4:52pm
@Tammy Warren-Cricket: thanks very much Tammy!!! yes -- best of luck on your book as well!! it is certainly a lot of work... just trying to finish up... but sometimes i am not in the right mood... :P all the best to you and happy holidays!!! :) xxx

Evelyne Dubos from Le Mans, France
What a surprise when i discover this shot in your blog !! So much different... I agree with Calusarus : a nice beginning. The last shot of the day, you say... hum, hum... are you sure... :-))
9 Nov 2009 6:15pm
@Evelyne Dubos: lol -- i know, i think i have it all backwards!!! ;) thanks Eveylne!!!
@john4jack: cheers mate!
@MadScientist: lol -- yes, can you believe it? we had finished the shoot and there were still so many outfits we never got through... so i asked the model to put this dress on and we did a 10 minute photoshoot -- as the two of us are going to do some future work together. i am glad i did -- i loved this dress, and this pose!! :) cheers Manfred!

.. nice story behind this shot .. cool that you do photoshoots like this also. .. great spontaneous image, well seen and snapped!! .. interesting that deep red behind the model - must have been a pretty funky place!
19 Nov 2009 4:46am
@`Paul: thanks Paul! yes -- we shot this in the bedroom, so the red that you see should be the red comforter. the lens i was using was great for bokehs -- and kind abstracted any details in the visable distance! :)
