The Sweet Spot

“Every model has at least one pose which makes them look awesome, that one moment which makes that person look the best they could ever look. It is the job of the photographer to find that sweet spot, to create the unique photograph of that person which everyone would want to see, that one person’s true piece of art.”

Quote by our intrepid photographer Mr Fluffy, yesterday evening after rather too many hours on the day-job, followed by a few glasses of rather yummy Nobilo White Cloud wine.

When asked how he is regularly inspired to produce such profound photographic wisdom, our resident artist modesty replied, “Dunno really. It just pops into my head. Probably the wine.”

(This modest self-assessment is probably correct, as after three glasses practically anything seems fabulous, especially arty nonsense invented by one’s husband.)




Last weekend Rich had a shoot with one of the UK’s top art-nude models, Pirate Maiden. She was delightful of course, as was her hubby who chaperoned her, and Rich certainly shot some cool piccies, some of the best work he’s ever done, IMHO.

After the shoot was over, and we’d taken a first peek at the photos (which I thought were great), he collapsed exhausted into an armchair.

“I feel weird,” he said, rubbing his temple. “Very strange, I can’t describe it, but it really feels odd.”

“Ah,” I said, nodding wisely, “That’s the feeling of actually creating Art.”

(I’m still in the dog-house for that one.)
