Chantelle

single handedly the most influential woman in my entire life,
who i may add, has not had long hair in almost ten years.

please click on the photographs individually for your viewing pleasure, well worth the extra second of navigating

taking a break from the studio

(i don't know why they appear blurry, just click on them for larger res files if desired.)

Okay, I changed my mind and found this set and decided I liked it a little better. Shot at the old abandoned Castle in Chapel Hill that is totally haunted. The film at the bottom are the original negatives. The first negative, the lighter one, is overexposed at 250th of a second. The bottom one, the under exposed one, is at 1/60th of a second. There's reciprocity in action

Katie Grossman modeled for me in Chapel Hill recently and this one of the locations we stopped at. The bottom three are the actual film strip negatives. Notice the tonality difference in her face...? Yeah, maybe one day I'll get the film scanners to cooperate with me. Until then...

silhouettes

this was for our last portrait assignment. we were to have a female and male model and to take 12 poses of each; 6 feminine and 6 masculine. point of the project was to notice subtle body changes with emphasis on the three main forms of lines bodies make, "i," "c," and "s," shapes. first two of sarah are masculine "c" and masculine "s" shapes. first two of matt are masculine "c" and masculine "i". last two are feminine "s" and feminine "c".

just to get things going

a picture of my friend johnny trauma. i was going for lines & texture; which is why his head got eliminated. [okay, so really, i tend to cut out heads in a lot my pictures, but it seems like a good enough excuse for this particular image]
