The Art behind the Photograph (models) Part 6

(This image became part of a collage of my models. This was from one of the last photo shoots that we did. It's funny how people just disappear out of your life.)

Simone and I went back a long way. She was just a young girl and then she grew up into a beautiful young woman. I found out she had a crush on me when she was younger. One of her brothers was not very fond of me…

(I was always trying something new. I wanted my images to be unique.)

Anyway, I presented Simone with my idea that I was getting a modeling troupe together and if she would be interested? Needless to say she was right from the start. We started out with a small show and then gradually got bigger.

 (At this particular shoot we created some great images. Each one of my models has that one photo that I really, really like.)

The more I photograph someone the more we both feel comfortable with each other and we can create something that we will both be satisfied with. If the model has an idea I always allow it to be showcased. If it isn’t working for me then I try to get the model to try it my way.

(This was part of that same shoot and became part of my permanent portfolio.)

Sometimes the pose is awkward, the color choices of the clothing or the background may not be working. As a self taught artist, it's all trial and error. Over time you get the hang of it, but I'm constantly challenging myself to create something different. My studio is my canvas and it’s always filled with experimentation.




A photographer can only do so much, but with the right model, art can be created.
