A Little Spring Fling

May 11, 2014 Filed inCreative,Family,Flowers,Photography,Photoshop,Thoughts

blog_11_may_2014One of the things that I love most about being in New York City is that it’s a 360 degree experience – especially with a camera.  There are not only people, buildings, art and architecture to photograph, but there is the street, the sidewalk, the bill boards, the grunge, the texture…. just eye candy everywhere.  And whilst we are happily ensconced here on the Lake in Charlotte, I thoroughly enjoyed soaking up ALL the City had to offer last weekend, and a note to self, to go back more often!!

“Spring Fling” is concocted by way of bits of NYC flotsam and jetsam and another of my ballerina shots. …..

And before I close, Happy Mother’s Day to all my wonderful “mothering” friends out there –  be it Mothering to 2 or 4 legged babies…., Mothering to those who don’t belong to you directly ….. and especially to those Mums far far away from their own…

And a BIG thanks to my LARGE small Men for the lovely flowers…… I love you both xoxoxoxx Mum ❤

Soft and Elegant

May 9, 2014 Filed inBlack and White,Model,NYC,Photography

blog_09_may_2014A first for me this time in NYC, getting my big girl pants on, renting a studio and hiring a model to shoot all by  myself!!!  It was a super fun and a very enlightening experience.  I have photographed Viktoria before but always in the middle of a group of photogs, so this was quite different.  She is incredible to work with, super experienced and helps make every shot a keeper!

Joanne Thieme Huffman - What a great experience and what a lovely photo!

gotham girl - WOW! What a treat! She’s beautiful and you really captured her elegance and softness!

Chris - Oh wow. I didn’t know you had to share models. This is not acceptable. Really, how do you shoot when everyone’s in there at the same time? I guess it has to be done,but it makes your images even more amazing.

I just thought of something. I think in the middle of all the photographers shooting at once, you should bring out some silly string. Really! What a riot! It would be expensive, but No On would forget your name!! (and you know those silly string images would be all over social media!)

Fine Art Frolics in NYC (**** Not PG!!)

This past weekend in NYC certainly made the inner creative do a major happy dance.  The Blue Girl above was shot with mirrors, a SOOC shot, no cutting and pasting.  The model then happily posed for paint splashing and loads of drippy=ness……

Featured above is “Miguel” – a dancer extraordinaire, who was more than happy to adventure into realms of paint, light an posing.blog_07c_may_2014
And finally, our renaissance babe…. her images will provide lots of fodder for creative explorations down the line….

(And FYI, if you clicked here and don’t like the less than PG images, don’t complain.  The header clearly expresses NON PG images and you can leave at any time.  These are tasteful Fine Art Nudes with artistic intent!!)

Alison - Quite beautiful. OXOX M

Joanne Thieme Huffman - I definitely have modeling session envy, These are incredible photos.

gotham girl - Beautiful!

Chris - Frankly, I was deeply offended when I saw the image of the woman with the pink paint dripping. I expressly told the studio to safeguard my images because I am very shy about my body. But then I remembered that in my shot it was green paint. So that must not be me, after all.

Incredible work. How you get those textures I’ll never know.

No! I won’t know! Don’t tell me!
