From the Air

Found these in a folder of image from a trip I took two years ago… spurred on by @wachterface’s twitpic from today.

Pinhole Experiments

Take your pinhole camera, add low light and the slow shutter speed it requires, add a sprinkle of camera shake, and serve.

I’m working on my Karsh lighting chops.  No one but myself to shoot in my cold apartment.

Mary in the Stairwell

Dasha

Today, Meg and I got the chance to test a model from Elite.  Dasha was young, Russian, and very beautiful.  I’m not a fashion shooter by any means, but with a model that looks like that it’s kinda hard to screw up.

Thanks to Seiji Uehara for hair, and Colby Smith on make-up.  They’re the real the heroes of these photos.

Jessica

Sometimes it’s fun to go back and play with an old image you never got around to.  This shot was taken when I shot Jes for my 365 Portraits project last year and I bumped into it while flipping through the 60,000 images on my drive.  I’ve got enough raw material (pun intended) to keep me busy for years if I wanted to.  Exercise is good.

Eggle-who?

Two more from Somerville, and two more where I’m trying to be Eggleston.
