You all know I take pictures eh?
It is a challenge for me, find a model, set a stage, shoot, shoot, shooooooot… then comes the problem of tossing out the blurry ( I have very shaky hands) and selecting the ones I like… all of that takes a little time and effort but the real test of my judgement comes after I have pulled the wheat from the chaff. Then it’s a question of “how do I make the pictures I like better”
That is the part of the process I actually enjoy the most… pulling great ( to me ) images from good pictures. It is something I take the most pride in.
This past weekend I had a new model. She was great to work with and though we have known each other she was nervous and a little uncomfortable to begin with. That evaporated soon enough and when the process of shooting was over I had to take some time before the next steps.
So today was the day that I decided to really look at the pictures. I tossed the blurry, and kept the ones with good lighting and composition. This evening I started to think about editing.
In a way I am really frustrated, of the ones I have kept… there are few I can improve on. These shots are good and there will be cropping and straightening. But everything else is already done.
Why are they so good?
I can’t tell you, I’d like to say it’s because I am awesome ( and I am awesome ) I may say it’s because the model was incredibly wonderful to be around and work with ( all things true )… perhaps it’s because there was a long friendship behind the whole experience and being friends that long tells a tale of some love … truth being I don’t know .. But as I look at the images I think maybe I wont ever do as good as I have…
