Faux Wall

I’m experimenting with creating backdrops. I put this one together quickly after dinner last night. It is about a yard and a half of striped fabric and a baseboard to simulate a wall.   Issues: getting the fabric not to pucker or drape. I’ve got ideas on how to remedy this in the future.

Bibi has proved useful…

Snoopy was pulled onto my set.

Buddy was a bit more reluctant, but I managed to pull this one off.

On my next test, I’ll be sure to iron the backdrop.

Model Shoot: Natalie

Yours truly is getting a two-page spread in a local magazine (more on that when it is published). The concept involved three models, and one of them asked for a few shots by herself after the shoot. I was happy to oblige.

Nevada

Nevada is a nursing student at UNR and a transplant from a farm in upstate New York. She is a wonderful young woman. She approached me a few days ago about doing a shoot with her and as I had some ideas I wanted to try out, it was a perfect collaboration. We spent about an hour and a half in the natural light studio yesterday, and I’m quite pleased with the results. Here are just a couple.
