This a shoot I did with Becky in downtown Fort Collins. I was going for darker stuff but also playing with colours, lights and the effects you get from long exposures. I think it was very successful. I'm so happy with this shoot that I could darn near piss on myself. Now there's a picture you really wanted to see isn't it?
Film: I forgot to mark which roles I did in which order, so I'm not totally sure. I think the order is Velvia, Astia, Velvia then Astia. 36 exp rolls each.
This first sequence was taken while there was still some daylight, but it was fading. Some are on a tripod, some hand held. I love the sequence where Becky is standing by the door. Great colour. All throughout this shoot I used flash, sometimes with coloured jells over it.
Then we moved to an alley. I used the tripod on these. In fact, you can see the shadow of the tripod in some of the photos. Great job there Skippy. Note to self: Tripods cast shadows. Becky also found a fan club in a group of young girls who were convinced that she was going to become famous. By this point it was dark.
You can't tell it, but Becky is engaged in life & death battle with numerous insects in these photos. She emerged triumphant in the end.
A few dark and serious photos which I like a lot.
Then, out came the syringe. I did not intend for Becky to have this much fun, but once she had it I wasn't going to take it away as she might have used it as a weapon. These are mostly hand held.
Hand held again, taken on an island in the middle of College Ave.
I love these. The colour came out wonderful. Very impressionist. Taken on a staircase leading down to a business. Turned out to be a great little space to use. I'll be going back again for more.
