Corset
December 8th, 2006
CareLyn Anita wearing her corset. Shot last night in my Chicago hotel room. CareLyn is a great model, a fun person to be around, and very good looking. She’s also only 4’11” tall, not the standard model height, but that’s never been an issue with me. In fact, I really like short models. And, you wouldn’t have known she was that short from this photo if I hadn’t told you…
When I left for Chicago I had shoots scheduled with 5 models. So far I’ve done one shoot and two models have cancelled. That’s pretty much standard when working with “internet models” so it’s not unexpected. At least these two had the courtesy and professionalism to let me know they were not going to be able to do the shoots we had planned. Still, two more shoots scheduled while I’m here.
I’m pretty disappointed in my hotel room as a shooting location. It’s a nice room, but lacks style. My Sunday shoot is the only one I’ll be doing during the day in the room and I’m hoping using daylight will help me make the room look more interesting. We’ll see. Tomorrow’s shoot is at a studio/home location, so that should offer more possibilities.
I spent today at Calumet Photo learning about some new printers and software. I learned that the NIK software is pretty much just a way to replicate cheesy filters and effects that we used to do in camera. Not much application for it in creative work. But the new Nikon Capture NX software looks useful. And I’m pretty impressed with the new Epson 3800 printer. Both color and black and white prints look great. In fact, I’d have to say that it goes beyond what is possible with conventional darkroom materials, color and black and white. Now I have to see if I can justify buying one. How many 16×20 prints would I have to make to make it pay for itself? Hmmm…
