Eventual photo shoot
I’m finally going to get off my ass, confront my fears, and do something I’ve always wanted to do: model for a studio photo shoot! I figure, I walked right through my fears and took up pole dancing – why stop there? How long am I going to let fear hold me back from doing the things I want to do?
Happily, I will be working with kick-ass photographer Frank Lazaro (of Atlanta Urban Photography Exhibit fame). He wants me to scour the internet for stuff I like, and send it to him for ideas; but see, my problem is that when I see something cool (example: check this shit out; Angela rocks), I know it’s cool and I know I like it, but I’m not creative enough to come up with my own ideas. Eh, I’ll just show him a few good photos I’ve seen and let him run with it… the photographer is supposed to have a artistic vision or some shit, right?
Will keep you all posted. Any thoughts/ideas on what I should do or what would look awesome? (Maybe involve podcast equipment, somehow?) It might be weeks before this happens.
I’ve always been a huge fan of Steven Perry’s work, especially his Hindsight series, but it might be a little scruffier/grungier than what you’re looking for.
In which case I’d recommend popping along through deviantART’s popular portrait photography gallery. Lotta inspiration there, even if the site environment itself is a little questionable.
