My Wish List for Summer

Puddle Portraits
A fun-filled portrait series featuring individuals sitting, standing, stomping, splashing & otherwise styling in a puddle.  Looking for a variety of looks, ages, genders, species and attitudes.  Wardrobe is whatever the model is comfortable getting soaked.  As you can see from the sample here, I was comfortable in a pair of denim shorts, button front shirt, red suspenders & straw hat.  You may prefer swimwear, slacks, shorts, skirts, undies or even your birthday suit.  Subjects will pose with umbrellas, hoodies, baseballs, lunch boxes, brooms – whatever comes to mind – and lit clearly.  Ideally sessions will be shot immediately after rain passes, but perhaps not all…


Whispers
This series features two or more subjects, one whispering in the other’s ear.  These will be color images, shot against a dark background, lit with a homemade softbox above the subjects aimed at a large reflector below.  I may or may not use a 2nd light behind the subjects to add a bit of separation from the background.  All ages are welcome from kids to grands.  

Tails From the Glam Side…
A celebration of the female butt as seen by a glamour/pinup shooter, whether clad in denim, satin, thongs, bikini bottoms, spandex or deliciously bare, it’s all about dat butt…
This one is for you adult ladies with the killer bottoms, and yeah, there’s gonna be some nudity involved.  Nothing too far over the top, but if this doesn’t fall in your comfort zone, then it’s best to pass it by…

     A.:  Bottomless model, back to camera, wearing leather jacket, denim jacket, sweater, hoodies, T-shirt, halter, etc. 

     B.:  Topless model “sunning” herself in bikini bottoms/thong – hiding breasts from view w/assorted props (lollypops, hat, Frisbee, etc.)

Selective Color: A Sexy Celebration…
Selective Coloring is a technique that goes in and out of style fairly regularly.  Most recently “Frank Miller’s Sin City” used the technique with great success.  Shot entirely in Black & White, certain parts of each scene were rendered in bright colors, usually Red.  Lips, Car Finishes, Gym Shoes, etc. 

I want to shoot each scene in high contrast Black & White, with one, maybe 2 objects (lips, shoes, handbag, necktie, tomatoes, whatever) in bright, bright primary colors. 

Ladies – we’re looking for sexy here: lingerie, short shorts, lots of cleavage & legs, bright lipstick, etc.
Men – we’re looking for sexy from you too:  jeans & a white tank to full on pimp suit to romance detective suits

Props to suit the mood and fit the scene…
