Fine Art Photographer
Brief snippets of verbal communication, most posing done with hand and eye cues. The conversation drifted through music, art, silliness and food, I almost always cooked while working in studio.
How’s this? Good nice eyes.
O.K. She worked at Friendly’s an aspiring model from Russia. Serious but we laughed.
What now? I’m tired. Not the real chat this is the look I asked for what’s it say to you?

When I was working with Subjects [Model a different kind picked by me not the internet] after a session a week or so we would review the contact sheets both selecting what we felt worked. I also would look again a year or so later which would allow me to see images that I hadn’t chosen after the session. Memory fresh just after the session our conversations, laughs and the smell of home made spaghetti sauce receding, like music the smell was a mood setter. A new view of form shape and emotion appeared. Now 27 years and the view is very different.
Stronger eye contact.
The session was a test for a period late 40’s Soft, romantic a women alone observed. We shot a couple rolls of color as the final images were to be hand colored. I printed two B+Ws neither of them are now represented. A different view, times changed and I see more today in the stronger self aware images.
Alone in her world this is more the feel I was looking for inspired by Louis Icart. She is still comfortable in herself just a bit more romanticized.
This image is the next step from a session to be hand colored. A warm toned print for the period. Then Kathleen Lepak adds the color with Marshall Oils and patience, the result was magic.
