Mr Fluffy does shiny … and likes it!
So this morning there was a beautiful full moon, low on the horizon, and as dawn rose Lin said to me
“Why don’t you go out and photograph the moon?”
“Because it’s cold and dark!” I replied.
“You’re not a very good landscape photographer if you won’t go out at dawn in the cold to take your landscapes, I’ll take my clothes off if you want?”
I tried to explain about the relative brightness of the moon and the darkness of the trees in the garden, to which, smiling Lin said, “I guess you would just rather photograph naked women in the studio, than trees in the cold and dark, wouldn’t you?”
“Who wouldn’t?” I smiled in reply.
I’ve been burning the candle at both ends, at the day job, over the last few weeks. Starting at 7:30am and running to about 7pm. Saturdays I’m doing 7:30 till 1pm. That’s why there have not been many posts from me.
Last Monday I took some time out, as you will have heard from Lin’s posts, to photograph the lovely Roswell Ivory. Apart from the domestic heating issue that Lin described the shoot went well.
As well as my regular art-nude shots we tried some shiny latex fashion type shots. I’ve been spending some of the little time I have free finishing the images and I very much like the results. The first image in this post is an example of the type of images we made. It’s one of the first that we took and it gives an indication of where we were going in the shoot. I do think the images became better as the shoot progressed.
The thing I have found though is that I can’t really decide on a category that they would fit in.
I also tried some glamour type shots, in colour, with the blue backdrop. Again, I’m not sure if you would categorise them as glamour.
I’d love to know how you would categorise them. Suggestions?

The incessent need to categorise is one of humanity's great failings. Categories are almost always of limited use, and usually only of use to a limited number of people.
I would place these photographs within the category of "Photographs I Like," a category that is of virtually no use to anyone else on the planet.
