Here you will see how he has directed me a little as well as let me be me. Though he forgot to get the whole costume (back of the bustle) or full body portraits to show the whole composition), But I'll work on that with him another time....
, a closeup of my face, J was instructing me what he wanted me to do. Originally all the pictures were in landscape and so I tweaked it to turn it into portrait. He loves the final outcome and has decided it is his best piece to date (that includes trips to the beach and the Promenade gardens in Douglas). That and it's natural and I was not expecting a click to be heard.
Here I'm starting to get upset because i had stood in that position for a little while and "my knees are hurting" could be heard , But it's the best view i could find of the bustle. "YEY" not too bad for hand stitching. And the key J helped me make which slots out for work so if needs be i might attach it by string so it can be picked up so Customers and staff can "wind me up" without it being attatched to my costume.
This one is my faveroite, I'm not looking at the camera and it is a natural pose apart from being instructed to"Lean" on the banaster of the stairs. I think next time I have him taking pictures of models, We night go out and about. We havn't a space for a studio just yet so would be intresting where we could find to take pictures.
He is going to take his camera with him to (my) work on halloween, that way weather I'm working or not he will be able to take some fantastic pictures of all sorts of strange and wonderful costumes of our friends in fancy dress.
