Liz came over to do her shoot for the Maverick Tarot set, where she is my Page of Swords. Never wanting to waste the opportunity at a good photoshoot with someone so babeliscious, we took a bunch of other shots as well.
You know, I’m not sure its humanly possible to have a waist as tiny as hers.

This was more of an outtake than anything else. I tend to talk and joke around with my models while I’m shooting. And sometimes I’ll snap a shot when they’re not really posing. Here’s Liz laughing and adjusting her shirt sleeve between poses.

When we were doing her shoot, I took this half body shot and immediately said to her "you know, you’d make good desktop wallpaper." So I pulled this together and you know, I think I’m right.

This was a close second pick for the page card. Ultimately, I decided that the one I picked was much more rebellious and and bold and therefore used it for the Page, but I liked this shot so much that I wanted to do something with it. So I processed it with what I am calling my "300 effect." I like how it turned out a lot.
More shots from the Yara photoshoot I did on Thursday. I’m quite pleased with that shoot. I think I got a nice set out of it.
In this one I was trying some other photo processing techniques. Closer to what I’m doing with the Staff cards. I was going for kind of a "300" feel to it.
Had a photoshoot with Yara, a model that I met on Model Mayhem on Thursday. She’s my Queen of Swords for the Tarot Deck. Even though I only needed one shot for the Tarot set, I got a bunch of good ones of her. These are some of my favorites.

This won’t mean anything to most people (and 10 points to you if you do get the reference), but this one, more than any other just has a Hyrkanian feel to it. But the pose and facial expression weren’t quite right for the feel I was going for with the Queen of Swords card. Still, I like it, so I wanted to get it posted as well.

I love how her stomach is featured in this one, and with the sword on her head (even though she isn’t balancing it), this pic just really said belly dancing to me.

The problem with some of the tarot cards is they require very specific casting. Judgement, for instance requires a newborn baby and a mother. And since the major arcana cards are all nude, it required a naked newborn and mother. So, when a friend of mine had one I certainly wasn’t going to pass up the opportunity.
Connie was nice enough to bring over her four week old son, Thomas Jefferson so they could pose for my tarot deck. I am quite grateful, and I’m sure this will traumatize him 13 years from now.
Pinky came over and posed for me the other day. The result, yet another Tarot card. The first one in the Staffs suit. I’m still not totally sure I like the effect of this one. I keep floating between loving it and thinking its not quite right. I like that its vibrant and distinct. I was initially going for kind of an airbrush effect, but then started going with a tinge of "300"-style postprocessing. I really need it to have a distinct contrast with the swords cards, but I want to make sure its obvious that its processed.
So I’d definitely like feedback here. What do you think?
