Photo Wish List 2024

Tame 

Well Suited: https://pin.it/5lXkT3m 

This idea has been rattling around in my mind for a while and I am thinking this would make a cool series with a variety of models. Women in Mens’ suits is a fascinating look. I am looking for a fashion style shoot, outdoors, daytime or evening, in a city setting.  I have no specific female body type, or ethnicity in mind for this.  We would look at thrift stores for a man’s suit that would fit you.  Open to anyone. Collaboration shoot  

 Hats: https://pin.it/1DanZ8y 

I love big floppy hats on a woman, especially with the right makeup and lighting.  The plan is to work with you to choose and buy the perfect hat.  Old Hollywood glamour vibe is the goal. Basically, looking to do a head shot with the dominant compositional element being the hat.   The model will have strong lips and eye makeup with hair tied back. Studio, Open to anyone. Collaboration shoot 

Mother/Daughter: https://pin.it/5ALscfF 

Very formal shoot with one Mother/Daughter pair.  Looking for elegance and sophistication yet presenting your personalities as best I can. If I can get dark dresses or gowns, I will be very happy.  This is a studio shoot with flash lighting. Dark background. We will share the cost of a makeup artist for this shoot. Studio, Collaboration shoot 

Kinda Risqué 

Jewelry Shoot: https://pin.it/4MYCv6f Original Concept: Jewelry Concept (Revised).pdf 

I am coming back to this idea because the original styling concept was not clear enough.  The desired look will be much more jewelry saturated meaning more pieces on the models.  Different skin tones are preferred.  Specifically, I want a very dark woman for the pearls, medium dark for gold jewelry.  I may spring for some costume “ruby,” “emerald” or “sapphire” pieces for the right light skinned person.  Studio shoot.  I want topless with nipple covers.  The last time I did this, one of the models was in sweatpants.  All shots will be waist up.  I have a good quantity of pearls and I will look for some faux gold if I get any interest in this. Studio, Trade shoot 

Pin Up Art: https://pin.it/77SpDAL 

Let’s make some Kitch.  With this concept, you pick a few different pieces of art you like, and we can emulate them as close as we can.  There are a variety of paintings with the subjects being fully clothed to fully nude. We can change the nudes to suit your level of comfort by draping or even adding lingerie or pin up style dresses. These are jumping off points for your imagination.  You know you want to create some Cheesy fun. Collaboration preferred. 

Stone Texture: https://pin.it/7zwvrrL 

This is where the 3 Graces concept from last year germinated.  What I envision is a statuesque model nude but covered in wet fabric.  The wet is to have it cling to the skin.  I will use light fabrics, and I want to see how distinct colors work for this.  I want to use white, black, and red. We might try outdoors or in the studio. Fit or muscular models are preferred but I am willing to consider most individuals expressing interest. Collaboration preferred. 

Quite Risque 

Playboy Inspired Boudoir: https://pin.it/5PgjgPn 

I grew up reading Playboy. Yes, I even dug the articles as a youth.  Much of my esthetics around pinup/glamour photography is based on what I saw in the magazine.  If you look at the images on the Pinterest board you will find these are very modest, implied nudes. These can be a mix of studio and location shoots.  For the right person, I will consider hiring a makeup artist to get that 1950s-70s look. Open to anyone. Collaboration preferred. 

Implied Beach Nude: https://pin.it/1lhJY59 

Early morning Summer beach shoot, around sunrise.  I have a very particular idea involving a blanket, The concept I have is not entirely represented by the board, but some are close. The AI Generated Concept Sketches Sub Board are a little closer to the original idea. It involves the model sitting on the blanket, knees bent with her torso pressed against her thighs, with the part of the blanket she is not sitting on pulled up over her back and shoulders.  If you are interested, this whole shoot should take just a few minutes however, we can expand it once I get the shots I envision, we can work on other less risqué things. Preferred Collaboration 

Alfred Cheney Johnston/Early 20th Century Showgirl Glamour https://pin.it/1rhhbmu

Let’s make some early 20th Century Glamour from the emergence of Jazz, Flappers and Burlesque.  The images will be based on the linked boards, but I am not interested in reproducing them exactly.  The part I am fascinated with is the models interacting with the scenery.  The other important aspect of this concept is the use of dancers as models. (or trained gymnasts) What I see here is how the models use their hands in a delicate dance like manner.  That is a detail important to the final feel.  If you are a dancer or know someone who is, please refer them to this blog post.  I am open to anyone for this, but preference will be given to dancers. Collaboration preferred.
