A Smile Is Worth........ A Lot

From my shoot with the lovely Lara.

This by the way was my favourite picture of the whole shoot.

deviantID

I'm a self taught photographer / artist. Currently looking to do more photo work, and make more model contacts, something that I find has brought a lot of enjoyment into my world and something I'd like to keep doing, for as long as people will keep working with me.

I'm passionate about what I do and love photography, though I admit I'm doing it pretty much for myself and for my own online gallery at the moment, which is how I got started with all this in the first place having had several galleries over the years but things change photos get done, removed, deleted, and life goes on.

I have always liked the look of a skirt suit, long fitted skirts with dressy tops or shirts, or long fitted dresses that show the shape of a woman's hips. I have always been fascinated with the suits of the 40s, 50s and the look of those, the way a woman could wiggle the hips and the look of a tight skirt would send one wild, or the subtle hint of a leg through a slit. Things like that are so much more sexy then clothes that leave little to the imagination.

That's not to say I do not like modern times, but just that I like those themes of the past, and the look of that period. I just fell head over heels in love with the period of the 40s and 50s and pencil skirts, (I think they call them "wiggle skirts") and those skirt suit type outfits. I'm probably romanticising the period a bit here but hey that's me.

However that isn't to say I am stuck in that period as you can see from my profile I've ventured into some daring ideas with my "Vamipire in the city" series which is only a small sample here the rest is at my DA page, the link being at the top of my profile page..

I will dare to venture out of my comfort zone if I feel good about an idea but I DEFINITELY AM NOT INTERESTED IN ANYTHING to do with nude work at all.... The cloest I would venture to that is maybe a bit of lingerie or underwear...

And that's about it. That's me in a nutshell.

Today is a sad day. R.I.P. Digital Camera

Mon Jan 18, 2010, 9:47 PM
I had my camera sitting on the desk and had just uploaded pics to the PC.... Strap gets caught on desk drawer as I open it and in a flash the camera goes flying onto the ground.

Camera not working any more .... Viewfinder is cracked... XD card slot won't work any more and in fact the XD card went in and kept going. It's floating around loose inside the camera.

R.I.P. Camera you will be missed.... "cries"

Your photographs of Lara are lovely indeed. I am currently enjoying her newest postings and you have done a very good job of utilizing lighting, reflections, and showing off her beauty in an innocent and admirable tone. The shot of her sitting by the pond in her red dress with the one strand of hair running down her chest is my favorite ([link]), and you have made that possible! Keep up the great work!

Thankyou very much for the comments I love comments.

I have to ask Lara what she meant be edits because as a rule I don't do photoshop or such. I mainly do cropping and that's about it. Though on rare occasions I will fiddle with contrast and lighting. But as a rule I hate doing that to a photo. To me it just then doesn't stay the original picture that it was, becomes something else.

You are very welcome.

I don't know what she meant either, but this was the original photograph that she posted [link] I told her that I loved the idea of the image, but there was a strange distortion to it. Shortly after she posted this photograph [link] and said that this shot is the unedited version. Perhaps she tried to edit the images herself?

It's just for me. For my own personal tastes I don't like editing photos, and also lack the right software. I'm not trendy and don't have photoshop LOL.... Or a pirated version like what most people tend to do.

I have a program called PhotoImpact but I rarely use that either. I just feel that once you edit a photo the subject no longer is the same as when you had first taken the photo. Just my opinion.

Aaawww don't you know flattery will get you everywhere :D

Thanks......

I don't think I'm that good...

Question though for you.

On pictures 34 and 35 of my latest shoot I wasn't sure but put a warning there for the picture as I was worried about the pose... Should I leave it with the warning or remove it because really it's not that out there and is tame.

The pose is suggestive, but honestly? There's no nudity or anything so I wouldn't worry.
:iconadelaidejohn1967:
~Adelaidejohn1967 Oct 25, 2009, 8:20:18 PM
yeah I will remove the warning.... Just when you went there can you capture what the page looks like when you are in the gallery? Does it show the picture or something else?

It looks just like every other picture. I think the only issue is for people who have their settings to not view "adult" material.
