More fun images

Here are some more fun images from our recent shoot.  We had run out of daylight but persevered to take a few more photos in the more challenging night-time environment.  I love the photo above of the Mona Scarf on our gracious model Sara.  Our models really deserve some kudos for going the extra mile.

In honor of Lady Gaga using a parasol, here is one of our own night shots.  I love the mystery of this image and how the shape emerges and blends with the shadows.  This was taken at the St Peter and Paul’s Church on the very same steps where Joe DiMaggio and Marilyn Monroe posed for their wedding photos.  Our lovely model, Monika, looks so glamorous like something from a movie where Fellini’s La Dolce Vita is blended with a Hitchcock or film noir.

Sorting through images

I just picked up the disk of images from our last photo shoot in North Beach, SF.

Now is the hard part of sorting through them!!  Decisions, decisions.

Here is a lovely image of our model model, Sara, in the first plastic raincoat.  I love the look of the plastic and the floating lines that recall a child’s simplified drawing.  I think feltmakers will appreciate the waterproof nature of the raincoats with the felted appeal of the finished dress underneath, as much of feltmaking involves using plastics whether in the form of waterproof shoes, aprons, buckets or plastic resists.

Lesson learned: you don’t want to go too thick on the plastic!  Drape matters
