It’s been many years since I’ve shot a nude model. I’ve been wanting to though and it manifested itself last weekend.
My muse is crazy about flowers, so we got to the Sydney Flower Markets and bought a shitload (not an understatement) of roses. I’ve never been into flowers (yep I’m one of those guys) and have only ever bought them because of how they make people feel, but I’ve always hated it that I don’t feel good buying them, call me selfish but I prefer to give presents that I’d like to keep for myself!
Having said all that… I think I’m converted. Seeing these flowers go from messy wet bunches to de-stalked individual flowers, and deconstructing them down even further to just petals created a new appreciation of flowers for me. I ended up spending more time focussing on flowers than skin!
I hope you like these pics as much as my muse and I do, if you do decide to leave comments, please be nice!
I like this man and yes the flowers are the main event! Beautiful muted processing too. VSCO?
Looks like we have another photographer who’s hooked :D Love this medium!
Hey Paul. Thanks! I’ve only just got VSCO on my iPhone, was playing with it for a little bit (for Instagram) but dropped the ball. Nice looking app though! Processing on these is mostly just a few adjustment layers in photoshop (curves, exposure, hue).
Looks great. The smoking shoot looks mint too! Tough job right…. But someone has to do it :D
LOL Paul, the Blackhawx one actually was more of a “job” in that it was paid work. I’ve got mixed feelings on that, whether I want to shoot for money, or not.
