The Glamour Photographer’s Notebook: The Lesson of the Rose
(Read the full article...)I recently had a photo session with one of my favorite models, Tiffany. I wanted to bring out that feeling that comes from getting a single rose. I wanted to achieve a soft, warm feeling. I draped Tiffany in a shawl that seems to bring out that softer feeling. In a classic fine art pose, I had her look down her right shoulder and avoid eye contact with the camera. It is a pose with thoughtfulness and a bit of repose, while definitely showing the love and tenderness I was trying to get. I used one of Dianne Fleming's backgrounds (576-746-0818) that she painted for me a few years back. It is titled "Copa-cabana". Its pink, purple and green tones enhanced the feeling of warmth and intimacy I was trying to achieve.
