I've been busy lately....

Photographing my music buddy Lauren whom I regularly record with and whom I'm co-producing an album with. Pity she's so ugly  :grin: (not!).

More pics to follow in due course but this one is a good teaser.

....Thanks  :happy2:

We've recorded enough songs so far for nearly two albums but they all need final mixing/tweaking and we don't have an album title yet. The pics were done because I bribed her with chocolate and she thought it would "be a laugh". Obviously she's free to use them for her own publicity too. I've got about 10 final images on the go and shot 116 pics.

Am enjoying using Aperture3 and InDesign5 with just a bit of Photoshop5. Tell me if you use InDesign because it doesn't export to png format and I have a Script which instantly saves both a png and a pdf, both in one hit (and as fast as your Lotus!).

^ Red version. "Blood runs down the streets" is in the lyrics of the song.

Her shoulder looks a little to much blown out for my eye, all detail has been lost.  :smiley:

Done on purpose, TC. The lyrics of the song are all about war etc. But I'll probably reconsider and revisit it.

Thanks for the feedback - It's appreciated   :happy2:

^ You were right, TC. It only needed a slight change to capture enough shading on her shoulder and I haven't lost the effect I was after.  :drinking: Thanks for that.

Much better old chap.  :happy2: Its a crime to lose a curvaceous shoulder, even in the name of art.  :wink:

Here's another shoulder for us to admire:

She has a nice bum too but I'm not sure how I can photograph it in the name of music or art...   Yet!  :evilgrin:

^ Further improvements: Better overall lighting to match face lighting in original photo.
