Jenny - Sofa

I made a book! Look at the top of my profile for the special link where you can investigate.

this is the photo that started the whole sofa series. it's still my favorite, preobably because it wasn't planned so neither of us were thinking about what the final product would look like. jenny now is mad that all the other girls get to clean up their places and whatnot but i like the dirty carpet in this one -- i mean come on, roommates, rental carpet-- it's so SF.

still my favorite.

merkley??? says:

Once upon a time I called my friend Jenny.

"Hey you wanna take some pictures today?" I said.

"YES" she said."

"Where?" i said.

"Your house" she said.

"Bah, I've taken too many here" I said. "Your house"

"OK"

Click click snap snap, some clothes get lost etc...

THEN -- we ate burritos.

The End.

ronsta 2000 says:

ok when you light your photos, are you using only the soft lighting shown in the photographs, or are you bringing in your own (telescope lights, etc?) either way, looks A+
Posted 45 months ago. ( permalink )

merkley??? says:

thanks everyone.

i never haul lights -- too lazy. on board flash only -- it's all manipulated in PS.

i get asked a lot. perhaps i'll write a tutorial called Fancy Schmancy Lighting For Cheap & Lazy Motherfuckers.

What wonderful triangular symmetry. You have a great command in combining classic art concepts with contemporary subjects.

Paulette Quinto says:

wow... your pictures are great!
Posted 43 months ago. ( permalink )

rsaltydog says:

I like the lightswitch there. It works really well to counter too much symmetry, without breaking it.

And the cat is just awesome. So intent and focused, I'll even excuse the pun.

and as for her concern about the carpet - I notice it matching the wall, and the the texture of the colour... I don't notice or consider that it may be dirty.

I had a great comment which I think is cute, but some might think it crass. So I'll be good, for goodness sake.
The message is this: fantastic color, superb composition and a great idea.
May all your photos purr.

thanks for mentioning Garcia Alix -- I had never heard of him so I googled, I can kinda see what you are saying a little but not a lot.

nudity seems to be the main thing but not much else.

still thanks
