You’ve seen Carrie K. featured here before, albeit with much more clothing.
Carrie and a friend swung by last night to help us explore a few different lighting setups in studio. Bonnie Ferguson arrived bright-eyed from our early morning shoot in the cemetery, plus a full day working at the mall – thank you Bonnie (who stuck around to do a completely different makeup application halfway through). Brien Gehring is almost always at my side as a trusty assist – so our team was complete – set for a night of photographic debauchery.
Carrie’s ink is a reason alone to ask her to shoot, she’s a traffic-stopper even without tattoos – so twist my rubber arm (My favourite subject is the human canvas). We exchanged text messages throughout the day and decided to do a modern pinup, or “Maxim” magazine-inspired studio shoot which was a great way to end a solid day of shooting. I’ve been on a hard-light diet for the past couple months accompanied by high-powered studio strobes and small apertures – so it was refreshing to setup our 56″ moon unit (octabox) and squeeze as much as we could out of a very basic one-light setup with intensely shallow DOF (everything you see here was shot at 1.8).
Take special note of the frames with Carrie’s hair up, you’ll see them again soon on this blog – with a slight transformation
