I thought that since I've been shooting people without clothing I'd shoot clothing without people. It is more difficult than I thought. You can't tell the garment to shift a bit to the right, to bring the hem up about two inches, etc. And working alone can be lonely. But I learned some things yesterday hanging this underskirt from the rafters. I could have used a team. I am more curious about product photography now that I've tried it. This is the best I got in my brief try yesterday, and it is really not good. But as I say, I learned and will get better.
A friend of mine walked in after I had finished and the underskirt was still hanging from the rafters. He got a kick out of it. In truth, it did look cool hanging out in space alone, kind of ghostly.
The first rule in writing is to leave out the boring stuff. I just broke that one. But my imagination has become as depressed and boring as my life. Prosaic. So this picture. . . well, it offers a little whimsy and, with lots of luck, a spark while I wait for the knock upon my door.
I did a series once with a white shirt...talk about boring!
ReplyDeleteBoring seems very popular these days. Keeps one out of trouble. But I'm not much good at it. Pissing people off seems to be my forte. If only I were not such a sensitive boy. . . .
