Everyone,
Here's something I just put in the SG photographers' group. I think it is the closest I've come to expressing my ambitions for an SG shoot. If I've come halfway to getting an idea from my brain to yours, perhaps you're interested in working a little on this?
Hi all,
I'm periodically on this site. I'd be interested in shooting an SG set. I kind of toy with the idea. Check out my profile; I have some of my photos on there. I'm all about the layers; I like my photos to be different, to be trying to say something, or look at something in a new way... There's a lot of pictures of the girls on here looking pretty, and for sure a lot of the SGs are cute. But, I'd want to find the little features on an SG's body which are unique. Birth marks. Little moles. Maybe get a close up shot of them. With different kinds of illumination. I think bodies are so complex, I'd love to just be creative with a willing model. I don't know; I don't really, wouldn't really have a shoot plan until I met someone interested, and then I guess the whole thing would be very organic.
I think ultimately it'd be good to kind of divide a body into sections, and look at each one in a way that people aren't used to seeing it, and if that could be done in a way that comes to a finished product, which ultimately expresses the model, I think that could be good. If I were to do an SG shot, that's how I'd do it. But, maybe I do a set, maybe not. Anyone interested in having a coffee and just throwing out some ideas?
