I met Brae through Model Mayhem which I joined when I decided to do the whole Tarot Card project thing. When she first wrote me I knew she had the pefect look to be my Death card.

Ace of Coins
by mav • • 6 Comments
Continuing my Tarot Deck series. This time using Steph for my model. In these two cards (the first of the cups series) you can see another couple of concepts that will be continued throughout the deck. First, the artistic look and fashion of the coins cards, and also that the aces and tens will feature the same models with the ace being a close up shot of the ten card.

XVIII – The Moon
by mav • • 20 Comments
The fourth completed card in my tarot card series.
Mallory as the Moon. I had originally envisioned this as a card where she was standing and looking at the moon, but as we were shooting yesterday, she got tired of standing and wanted to shoot some sitting down. I really loved her head placement in this one and the arch of her back. I think the facial expression is perfect for what I wanted to convey.
The biggest thing I am unsure of is the placement of the moon. When I took the pic of the moon last week, I really had envisioned her looking at it, not away, but I do feel as though it kind of works how it is. Not positive though.

Jack of Swords
by mav • • 15 Comments
The third completed card in my tarot card series.
Shiima as the Jack of Swords. Commonly called a knight. I decided to rename them to Jacks for the same reason they call them Jacks instead of Knaves on the modern playing card deck. Namely, that K is the same letter for King. I’m still not positive on that. But its growing on me. I’m also of still of the opinion that the lens flare is a bit cheesy, but I think it adds something to the effect. Opinions?

More pictures from yesterday’s photoshoot.
This one was simply me testing the lighting for the shot with me in it for my 365. It’s more of an outtake than anything really. But I liked the look of it.

Red Light District: Text Sex

More pictures from yesterday’s photoshoot.
Turnabout being fair play, after Shiima’s "going down" picture, I decided we should do a reverse one. So we changed it around to get this second "red light district" shot. Shiima of course had to go with his look of total indifference, so we decided to add the cell phone so it gives the impression that he couldn’t care less about being moments from getting a blow job. Such a rock star.
I also added some grain in post to give it an even cheaper and seedier look. I really like this one for the back alley, cheap motel, sluttly, prostitution feel to it.

Shiima with Jack Daniels

Did a photoshoot with Shiima and Mallory today. These are the first three shots I finished from it. More to come, including two new tarot cards. Would love to hear people’s thoughts.
Shiima is a wrestling friend of mine. My former tag team partner, in fact, until he decided he wanted to be a good guy and I had to turn on him. Shame about that. Still he’s fun to hang out with, and the pics turned out good.

Red Light District: Safe Sex

More pictures from yesterday’s photoshoot.
An idea Shiima originally had based on some other picture he’d seen was just to have a leg draped over his shoulder and kind of the implication of oral sex. I modified the poses a bit and kind of got Mallory more into the shot as well. One of the racier things that I’ve shot, at least recently, but I think it turned out pretty well.

Mallory is a friend of Shiima’s and an asipring makeup artist. She did both her and Shiima’s makeup for this shoot, which I think turned out well. She’s also really cute. Yay for really cute.

Cheryl portrait
by mav • • 0 Comments
Spent the day with my friend Cheryl who is visiting from Seattle. Obviously no one can visit me without doing a photoshoot. So this is the first of the shots that I have processed of her. More to come when we’re done hanging out.
Back before I was a bum (errr… starving artist), I used to be a pretty decent user interface (UI) designer. Cheryl was my intern. Over the years she’s become a really good friend. These days, Cheryl lives in Seattle where she designs video games for Nintendo Gameboys (right now she’s doing Shrek 3 and Pirates of the Caribbean 3). She’s also one of the voices in the game the crazy successful Sims video games (she’s a little easier to understand in real life). So whenever you play a video game, keep in mind that it might not exist were it not for my supremely excellent mentoring skills.
