Day 354 of 365 days. I hurt myself today, just to see if I could feel I was supposed to have a photoshoot today, but that ended up getting cancelled because I could never get in touch with the model. Instead that gave me some time to work on getting caught up with previous photoshoots…

Rima contacted me about posing for the Tarot deck on Wednesday and we shot her on Thursday. It’s about the fatest turnaround I’ve ever done on a shoot, but it was another case of just trying to get a shoot in when both the model and I happened to have time.

I was quite happy to work with her, since through happenstance right now, the deck was very "caucasian." It’s been hard to find people of color for it. Especially women. I was hoping her complexion still comes across well in the B&W.

The big challenge here was representing "love" while only using one person so that it conceptually fit with the other twos in the deck.

Interpretation, comments and criticism welcome as always, and in fact encouraged.

Just posting some pics from shoots that I hadn’t gotten around to editing till this morning.

This is an alternate shot of Sarah that I was going to use for her tarot card. I ended up going the other way because I really liked the mystery of hiding her face behing her hair. Still I like this one a lot. Her skin complexion looks great under the lights.

Day 348 of 365 days. Here’s the difference between one of my parties and anyone else’s. I actually have to take measurements in the living room to make sure my decoration concept is going to work. You know, with this level of neurotic attention to detail, you’d think it’d be easier for me to find…

Sarah was another of my very early picks for the tarot cards, but it took me a while to get to her. I had been saving the Page of Staffs for her because I thought she was perfect for it. If there was a problem it was deciding which of the many great shots of her to use for the card.

There will be more shots of her posted later.
