In an address to the 2016 National Book Festival, Stephen King related a story that resonated with me. In it he tells about seeing a woman on an airplane reading a copy of his just-out-in-paperback Carrie and he advises not to do what he did (but like him I did it too)…

I recently took a look at my on-line modeling portfolio and was surprised to find that several of my images had exceeded one thousand views. That may not seem like a big number to a famous photographer but ,to me, seems like a lot of views.

Nothing is harder for a portrait subject than standing in one place and trying different poses. Look to see if your model has something to lean or sit on. If you’re outdoors, have her lean against a rock…

And so my friends, we have come to an end of #corsetmonday, at least I think so. I have gone through all of my folders that were labeled “corset” and selected some images that I like and won’t get flagged by the ever-present nanny software. More on that later…

Thanks you, Dawn. I feel I have a lot still to earn about portrait and glamour photography but I would have made it this far without your help and encouragement.

#filmfriday is off this week as I struggle to deal with the crazy weather we have been dealing with lately in Colorado. I am hoping for one of two things to happen but both would be cool too: The weather gets better so I can shoot some film or the weather stays the same and I finally get a chance to do a model shoot in my home studio using film. In Film Friday’s place today is my take on shooting glamour—in infrared.
