Day 292 of 365 days.
Four, count them, four days in a row without a studio shot. If that’s not some kind of record for me, I don’t know what is.
It came to my attention that, what with being wrapped up on the Tarot deck and all, I was basically shooting all chiaroscuro images for almost every shot lately, and I decided that not only did I need to do something with a little more color, but it would be nice to get outside and shoot with some natural light. So I met up with one of my models, Amaya, and she took me to a gorgeous mountain state park in West Virginia to do a photoshoot. As the trip took me pretty much all day, it was a pretty simple guess what the 365 shot of the day would be.
Silly note, I actually took two shots like this. After looking at the first one, I said "ugh, my hair is a mess" and took a second. However, when looking through the photos at home, I realized, "it was windy and I was 5000 feet up in the air. It’s ok if my hair is a little out of place." I even kinda like it. Hooray for anime hair.
Hey man, great shot! That must’ve been quite a view from that vantage point.
@Ernie E: it was… it was great.
Wow! That’s a gorgeous setting! and yeah, messy hair in the wind is cool!
LOVE the anime hair!!! This is awesome. When I saw the thumbnail, I was like…."No way is that Mav!!"" And well it was! This is great. It’s good to see you outside.
@lrayholly: yeah. It was. I took over 400 shots of her out there, so it might be a while, but I should have some of them up sooner or later.
@PhotoKat: I go outside! I go outside all the time. I had a shot in the pool the day before! 🙂 Glad you like the shot.
Anime Hair! What a great new phrase, I’m totally stealing it for those great morning moments. 🙂
And congrats on getting your booty outside!
PS> I love how she’s all "meow meow" and you’re all like "oh yeah that’s right". 🙂
@kisluvkis: well, she’s a model. It’s her job to look sexy and stuff… And me, well… really, I just always look like that. I have one look. That is it. 🙂
Glad you like the shot, and the hair. Thanks.
Nice view, nice hottie, nice shot.
@MegaBee: thanx, thanx, thanx
Yeah, the hair is cracking me up. 🙂
Beautiful shot…and yeah, hot model!
Anime hair! It is totally anime hair, and it’s awesome.
Okay, will you explain to me chiaroscuro? I’ve wikipedia’d it and looked it up, but I just don’t get it. Since you do it, please to be getting it into my thick skull?

Seen in your 365 days set. (?)
@sadandbeautiful (Sarah): yeah, the way I comb it straight down all the time, I forget how long it is. Thanks.
@lalalaa Dolce Vita: sure… basically it just means low key images with a lot of heavy use of black shadows. You know, like most of my stuff.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen this Tattoo before… or didn’t notice it. Pretty cool design.
aha. Chiaroscuro. I think I get it now. thanks. 🙂

Seen on your photo stream. (?)
@Stephen Poff: Really? Yeah, its the logo I use on a lot of stuff. Anyway, thanks.
@lalalaa Dolce Vita: No problem.
it’s funny, i almost didn’t read the description before commenting. but i SO was going to say that i loved how the wind was whipping your hair up like that!
hope you had a good trip to wv with that teeny tiny little model 😉
@pi c’s: I did. It was beautiful. I want to go back sometime just to go camping. I also shot her for the tarot deck yesteday. At this very moment I am going through photos from both shoots while she’s sleeping on the couch. Hopefully I’ll have some stuff up in the next couple days or so.
Great picture here! The contrasts and intensity is great!
@mortgagestar1: thankyou
