For the last few years I have been vowing to reduce my workload with regards to underwater shooting. When I do too many sessions things get way too rushed and I fun times in the water give way to many grumpy hours processing the thousands of images. But 2015 is the first year I actually succeeded. In fact, I only held three underwater sessions, and boy-oh-boy did that ever work out better for me.
In the end there were a total of 14 models, which is a very manageable number. At no time over the summer did I get overly backlogged and I was able to turn around the shots in a reasonable time. The big question is, will I remember this valuable lesson by the time the 2016 season rolls around?
Want to see what things looked like this summer?
Shhhhh!!
I'm very quietly launching a new photo project. Why quietly? Because unlike my past large-scale projects that required getting as many people as I possible could, this one is going to be somewhat smaller. It might only use a dozen or so people, so instead of promoting it heavily I'm just going to see what happens organically. (more…)
I really did not think I was going to do much underwater photography this summer. By late May I had only set one firm shooting date, but also had plans to have a few less-structured shoots over the coming months, none of which I expected to yield too many new galleries. It didn't help that the first two of these shoots had to be cancelled due to freakishly unpleasant weather. (more…)
I'm a little late in posting this news, but I'm happy to announce that four of my pieces have been accepted into this year's Seattle Erotic Arts Festival, held the last weekend in May. I'm extremely happy that my huge Run Away project will be on display, along with three underwater shots from last summer. Everything will be for sale, so please plan on attending and throwing some cash around! (more…)
