Photo Perspective

Mimi Ko is here this week. With her help, I'm upgrading the photography lighting for the studio.

I'm enjoying experimenting with photographic images. Working in less familiar territory always seems to pay off. The poppet image is a group effort. I made the Poppet and umbrella, Ben sculpted the cat, Mimi lit and photographed them, I added the effects on computer.

I liked the desert photo of me because everything about it is Mimi's unique sensibility. It becomes recognizable, looking through her portfolio. She has a certain way of seeing her subjects, even when they're not seeing her.

The last one, taken last night in available light (both subjects were actually sleeping on the sofa) I'm pleased to say is my own work.

We'll be back in the studio tomorrow morning. I highly recommend working with something new and unfamiliar. It seems a good tool for expanding vision, getting unstuck or boosting creativity. And...it's fun.
