Enchanted Mermen

Dwain in the Doorway

Regular readers will recognize both Dwain and the French Door location. This was photographed several years ago and recently reprocessed.

Dwain in the Doorway

Dwain is one of the best models I have ever worked with. Killer face and physique and a creative mind. Over the last few years I've done a series of photos of models in the open doorway of this bedroom. This week's image is Dwain's contribution to that series.

Mermen Revisited

This week we return to underwater images, but with different models, and in color. This is from a couples shoot earlier this month. The image has been processed in PhotoShop to create a cross process effect. For those of you who are not photographers, cross processing is a film based technique that involves shooting on film for prints but processing the image in chemicals intended for slide film or vice versa. Using the "wrong" chemicals creates interesting effects with colors and usually increases contrast. Although I usually stay within the black and white color palate, some of the underwater images from this shoot grabbed me by the collar and insisted they be rendered in color.

Should I venture more often into color images? I would love to hear from you.
