I love when i meet a model who is absolutely perfect for a Tarot card idea I have. I was talking to my friend Connie (who posed with her son for the Judgement card) and telling her of my idea for the ten and ace of swords cards. I wanted the cutest, most petite, goth girl I could find holding a broad sword bigger than she was. A minute later, Connie found Ambriella on Model Mayhem (where I’ve gotten several models for this project). I wrote her and she was totally into the idea. Hopefully I’ll get to shoot her again soon.

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.

Theresa sitting in B&W

Did a photoshoot with Theresa the other day. It was the first time she modeled for me (or anyone) but I think she did great. She’s quite animated and about the friendliest person ever.
The final outfit from the shoot was borrowed from me. Theresa has a very tomboyish look that is adorable and sexy at the same time. So I let her borrow my basketball jersey and a pair of boxers. I think it worked out quite well for her. I’m not giving up on lingerie, but this was a nice switch for a change.

These first four from the set are in the clothes she showed up in. I like to spend sometime talking to each model and just relating and being friendly. It’s the first part of getting natural emotions.
She has a gorgeous smile, but in this shot, I can tell she’s still kind of nervous.

Day 177 of 365 days. I’m still a little sore from yesterday’s wrestling, but I’m healing up nicely. It was nice to be able to sleep in on a Sunday. Basically spent the afternoon working on editing the most recent photoshoot I did (would love to have comments and feedback from other 365ers and fans,…
