The Couch with Natural Light

July 08, 2020 in Black and White Film, Nudes, Photo Sessions

I’m starting to venture back into photoshoots which feels really great. Just small ones for now where reasonable social distancing can be observed. So that more or less means working close to home . Hey, I’ll take what I can get and I’m just thrilled to be practicing a creative outlet again after working in isolation if at all for the last several months.

This image was made on the couch in my living room using only natural light. The model was one of my personal favorite people to work with, Theresa Manchester, who always manages to bring a great level of professionalism to every single thing we do together. I’m very fortunate to have living room windows that face directly west which means I get some incredibly brilliant light late in the day. There is a lot of great detail going on here in the wrinkles on the feet, something I quite enjoy when done properly and I think this is a great example.

I'm not going to say I miss the summer. But I sort of miss the summer. lol. I say this of course right before I put on three layers of clothes to bike to work before the sun comes out. Oh well, at least coffee tastes like the most amazing thing on ea
Inside the rocks and dunes and formations of the earth. Actually, more just trying to angle the frame to get the least amount of bird poop in the final image as humanly possible.

I'm back home after some wonderful travel time. Back to the grind today. I'm hoping to ease into regular life but I have a feeling it's going to feel more like a wrecking ball crashing into my brain.

I think I've officially hit that age when I can no longer keep up with the changing world. I honestly don't think this is a bad thing necessarily. If the world wants AI, and smart watches, and META glasses, it can have it. I'll just be doing my thing
This was one of those days that felt like summer before summer was the cool kid in the class.

Making photographs in blank spaces is always such a different mindset. Not necessarily bad, or good, or better, or worse, just different.

I can pull off a cowboy hat sometimes. I like to walk around in a flannel shirt and a ten gallon hat and a camera attached to my hip. All I'm missing is the horse. Evidently my cool factor only goes to 8 and not to 11.

I always find the lighting on the hottest days to be the most difficult to work with. A little bit of persistence always wins the day though, which seems to be my theme lately.
