I skipped out to join one of my Charlotte Meetup Groups tonight to have some serendipitous photo fun.
The “Creative Lounge” as it’s called is held at a pro photo studio that spends it’s days taking cutesy pictures of babies and what not. Once a month it turns into a playground for creative minds with cameras where there are a variety of models (usually fairly inexperienced, but not always) who are willing to just “mess about”, get made up, pushed and pulled and even frolic in beds of rose petals.
The downside is that it does get a little crowded and some folk are pretty “pushy” and hog the model, but for the most part it’s quite good fun and Lightroom always dishes up a few 5 Star images after the fact!!
Here’s hoping your weekend is off to such a stellar start!
(and thanks for comments and emails regarding my previous post! rather honored to be considered anyone’s Mentor – way cool indeed!)
Bren - Love seeing the results of these staged photo shoots you go on, such wonderful shots. love the play of shadow and light in the rose petal one and colour tone in the second is just dreamy. good stuff as always!
Joanne Thieme Huffman - Great photos. How cool to have access to a modeling session.
gotham girl - Now how fun would that be! I did go to a sketch event in Philly once and we had drag queens to sketch. Lots of fun with friends! But a photography shoot would be super super fun! Love the images. Oh, you’re welcome on the comment. So true you know.
