Last week my friend Charity and I had the pleasure of starting to shoot our "real" women! We had such a blast and learned a ton about lighting and the female form. I shot in black and white and bumped up the ISO to filter out her skin. To be completely honest, it was strange at first, but I got super comfortable and had such a great time and learned a lot. I think our model was super comfortable and loved her pictures. I also took some shots of myself for our emulation project. It can definitely be an intimidating experience taking pictures of yourself. I am wanting to emulate Nan Goldin and Guy Bourdin. I love the honesty and the "not giving a shit"attitude Nan Goldin possesses. Guy Bourdin's shots are sexy and I love his black and whites and colors. I touched upon some of his bondage shots as well.
Our model was amazing and truly a real woman. She feels super sexy in her skin and it was such a pleasure photographing her.
I think my goal of helping me feel happier in my skin is starting to come to life.
I purchased a remote to take pictures of myself. I love it! These pics are in hopes of emulating Guy Bourdin's photography.
My Nan Goldin shots I am not entirely thrilled with, but I tried to capture the feeling she has in her self portraits. I will focus more on my Nan Goldin emulation more next blog. Need to channel my inner Nan. Enjoy!!
