On a Rock

I worked with Doug Zimmerman long, long ago - first at a modeling workshop, then privately at this location in southern California (Devil's Punchbowl).

This shot attempts to make use of the harsh direct sunlight at the top of  the ridge to define Doug's muscularity. Doug's face is cast in shadows as a side effect, which is not ordinarily ideal. In this case it seems to communicate an inward focus.

This gem is an edit of an image from a shoot several years ago with Alex Haun.

It's from a series of images shot through french doors looking into a bedroom.

You may find other images from this series with Alex and other models on this blog.

In most cases these images were shot with a stationary camera on a tripod to keep the room stationary while with model moves.

The point of this is to create images that can be superimposed over each other to create multiple shots of the same model in the room. Examples of these images can also be found on this blog.

Updates

This blog has suffered some neglect this month as I've focussed on building a social media following on Facebook and Twitter. If you haven't checked out my Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/physiography) or my Twitter feed (@tmphysiography), please do. I have been posting work at least every day this month and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future.

Bryan was a young man who came to my attention through his talent scout. We worked together two times. This image is from our first shoot near the beach in Santa Monica.

This is another image rescued from obscurity yesterday in Photoshop. This is Michael Crowley.

Red Sunset 1

This is an image from a long ago photo shoot, captured digitally, but somehow overlooked. This afternoon I rediscovered it and reworked the color balance, the light and the contrast -- to good effect I think. 

More images from this shoot, in and around the pool, will follow.

After a break of some weeks, I am back to regular posting.

This image is a slightly reworked, moodier image of Jay.
