The Candid

Brooke and Stephanie at Jordan Street

Brooke and Stephanie at Jordan Street

often times when i’m looking to create something, the most perfect moment comes when models aren’t trying to pose.  it’s the weirdest thing because they’re all trying to give you their best “poses” but yet, the things that happen in between are the ones that really capture my imagination.  this, truly, was one of those moments.

intro photo from the book Jordan Street, available in the iBookstore.

Nude and Chair – Polaroid

Tendu - Nude and Chair

Tendu – Nude and Chair

working in the studio near the end of our stay there, i’d found an old Polaroid 250 camera on eBay that i bought for $17 and started trying to use it with studio lights. the results were usually unpredictable, but often interesting. if i remember correctly, this was old, expired polaroid sepia film and i loved the response it had to the studio light and the tones of the final prints.

this scan of the original polaroid print is included in a section of polaroids in the book Jordan Street: Studio Nudes, 2008-2011 available now in the iBookstore.

Keira – Talc

Keira - Talc

Keira – Talc

Going back to September 2009, this was one of the first times I did a properly rigged overhead shoot. I’d clamped my monstrous Mamiya RZ67 to an overhead support, shooting straight down on the model. When I told Keira that i was going to cover her in talc, she looked at me with a worried expression and said, “what’s that?!?” When I told her it was simply baby powder she smiled and said, “Oh, okay!” We both ended the shoot smelling fresh like a baby’s bottom!

Another shot from the book Jordan Street and available as a signed and numbered fine art print.

Brooke, Rossland 2012

i’ve been holding back on some of the things i’ve been developing from this year’s trip to Rossland, BC in Canada in hopes that someday i’ll get all caught up with the film that i shot up there.  the dream of doing an epic post with everything collected and categorized is probably not the way to go when there’s good stuff like this to share right away.  brooke and i shot these after pulling over to the side of the road, up from where we stayed with michael and making a short hike into the woods.

enjoy,
scott

the wrath of fortuna

a beautiful autumn morning spend with my dear friend Nori.  we shared a few hours of love and some tears.  i’m going to pester her to hang out again real soon because i think it’s the soup her soul needs right now.  if you don’t already know, her husband is fighting a nasty battle with cancer.  so the emotion here is most certainly real.  so please, keep them both in your warmest thoughts.
