PHOTO ART & DEVIANTS
So another gallery of images is up. I use gallery loosely as there’s one photo in there right now. More are to come as I work through the photos.
This is Chloe. One of the most animated and expressive women I have worked with. Look. Proof! Right there!
So, Goofballery & Silliness is a thing now. Enjoy!
The Mister Devious portfolio has been updated again.
This series of photos with Courtney Crave has always reminded me of certain ghost photos, namely the famous Tulip Staircase photo and to a lesser extent Brown Lady of Raynham Hall photo.
My favorite has been, and probably always will be the Tulip Staircase, which is where the title of this series get’s it’s name. The original Tulip photo always bothered me. Not because there’s supposedly a ghost in it, but because I couldn’t reconcile the perspective, the shapes, distortions and light. It’s all awkward and strange, clearly a hoax, but so compositionally bizarre that it’s stuck with me for nearly forty years.
In response, I give the staircase a nude woman. Ha!
Here is the infamous Como motel and the Pines Motel.
So far, I have to say, the Como is the most promising. We’ll see, I’ll be shooting here next week.
Based on some suggestions from fellow Fetlife users, I checked up on a few locations for possible future shoots. The exteriors definitely had some of the elements I was looking for. However the interiors weren’t where I needed them. Plus they aren’t anywhere near as close to the areas I need to be in.
I’m off to check some possibilities tomorrow. More motel signage porn tomorrow.
A new portfolio is in the works called Deviations & Perversions.
Don’t let the title mislead you, especially considering my oeuvre*. These are shots that generally don’t fit with the context of other projects or series. These are thoughts, explorations, a photo sketchbook of meanderings. Most of the time, my work develops out of explorations like these. So, for now, these are explorations that haven’t led anywhere just yet.
I’m being very grandiose about a portfolio that has just one image in it. It’ll grow, though. It’ll grow.
* Fuck. I hate using words like that, but it lets me get to the point quicker. So, yay, I’m a hypocrite again.
