Weekly Photo Challenge: Up – As Curious As She Can Be

1 Curious Petal

Looking up, what does she see?
A bird, a cloud, a passing bee?
Always wondering, always free
She’s just as curious as she can be

Just a silly little verse I wrote about my Kittycat, Snowpetal. She’s always curious and always makes me smile.

It’s A Kn0ck0ut!

1 Knox_021A

Well, it’s been a while since you’ve seen a post about my family! A while back, I did photos for my sister, Mandy. I was going to do photos for her husband, Knox (Kn0ck0ut), but with our crazy schedules, I just got the opportunity to do them yesterday.

Knox has a great avatar. His skin and shape just lend themselves to photos. I truly enjoyed adjusting lighting and angles to capture his masculinity. And there was never any doubt in my mind it would come through in his photos.

I’ve decided to do a gallery so you can see more of his photos without this post being a mile long. You can click the photos for a larger version.

Like I told Knox, doing guys is hard. Erm…I mean, shooting photos of guys is difficult! But I think he’s a total Kn0ck0ut in these photos, if I do say so myself! 😀

Dina

Dina contacted me after she saw another client’s photos. She was so excited, we didn’t even set up a confirmed time for her appointment! But we managed to connect the following day, and I met her for the first time when she arrived at my studio.

When I saw her, the first thing I thought was how dramatic her photos would be with her bright, white hair. I found myself focusing on that as I shot her photos. I wanted to show off her sensuality, but also bring in an element of softness.

The results:

1 Dina_010_021softA

1 Dina_010_040PKA

It’s always harder for me to photograph someone I don’t know. I am a “mood photographer”, and sometimes I have to just go with the feeling I get from someone I haven’t spent time with. I hope I have captured the essence of what makes Dina who she is.
