Every once in a while its nice to get out of the studio. Amaya and I went to West Virginia’s Spruce Knob state park to do a photoshoot this week. These are some shots from that fun filled day.

Amaya 300
by mav • • 0 Comments
Amaya had this crazy notion of working with something like 1,642,334,563,434,278 photographers in 48 hours during her roadtrip. I was the absolute last on the list. She was dead tired by the time she got to me, but I’m still pretty pleased with how the pics turned out.
Yes, its the 300 effect processing again. I’m becoming as fond of it as I am of chiaroscuro backdrops. Maybe it’s a phase that I’ll grow out of.

Juri widescreen

Some other shots from my photoshoot with Juri. The model who posed for 2 of Staffs (and did a great job of it). These are some of my favorites.
I designed this one specifically to be a desktop wallpaper for a macbook. Really, I just like using that aspect ratio.

Yara sepia

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.

Brae Sitting

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.

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
by mav • • 11 Comments
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 black and white
by mav • • 4 Comments
Did a photoshoot with Cheryl yesterday. These are the remaining shots from it.
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.

Cheryl’s eyes

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.

Gina Silhouette
by mav • • 25 Comments
Did a photo shoot with my nine month pregnant friend Gina the other day. I haven’t edited most of the photos yet (I’m still working on editing the pics from the shoot before it) but I wanted to use this one for Class with Dave.
Anyway, Gina wanted nice artsy pictures of herself while pregnant. And since the baby is due any day now, it seemed like we should get them done sooner rather than later.
The class with Dave assignment was to create a backlit silhouette. And Gina wanted one anyway, it all worked out perfectly.
