Captivating Before I explain about how I did this image I have to say thank you to two wonderful women without whom
this image would never have happened The first of course is the beautiful model Mahalia who is an absolute treat to work with The second is Barbara Meier I was having lunch with Barbara in a restaurant when a waitress walked by and I made a casual comment to Barbara that the waitress had a wonderful look and that I would love to photograph her Barbara embarrassed me by calling the waitress over told her that I wanted to photograph her said all kinds of nice things about me and my work and said that she should definitely work with mehelliphelliphellipWe did and the result was the image ldquoCaptivatingrdquo
About the image In our consultation session Mahalia and I both agreed that we wanted to create a lsquodifferentrsquo type image one that not only looked beautiful but that had impact also While not a professional model Mahalia is able to produce a wide range of lsquolooksrsquo from classic 40rsquos glamour to cute and silly to a deep haunting look that is absolutely riveting Because she required very little direction regarding posing and expression it made my job much easier As a result I was able to focus on composition lighting etc It was and is a great partnership Over the years I have collected a lot of lsquopropsrsquo (Some very unrefined people might call it lsquojunkrsquo-) One of my lsquopropsrsquo is a wooden-framed window which came from an old house in Novato that was being torn down I hung the window frame in my studio from a boom stand had Mahalia wear a dress I picked up in a consignment shop a few years ago positioned my lights to the side to create a moody effect and then had fun capturing a number of images with a variety of looks and expressions We ended up with quite a few great images but this is the one I kept getting drawn to so that is what I went with I added the lsquowallrsquo around the window frame which required extensive work in Photoshop but did very little retouching on Mahalia (she has a fresh beauty that I wanted to preserve) I had a difficult time (as a lot of us do) coming up with an appropriate title I came up with about two dozen titles before hitting upon lsquoCaptivatingrsquo As soon as I said it out loud I knew that was the title I want to thank the judges for all the nice compliments about lsquoCaptivatingrsquo I passed them along to Mahaliahellipwe both appreciate them very much thank you (I just sent lsquoCaptivatingrsquo off to Nationals todayhellipthink positive thoughts for us-)

Captivating Before I explain about how I did this image I have to say thank you to two wonderful women without whom
this image would never have happened The first of course is the beautiful model Mahalia who is an absolute treat to work with The second is Barbara Meier I was having lunch with Barbara in a restaurant when a waitress walked by and I made a casual comment to Barbara that the waitress had a wonderful look and that I would love to photograph her Barbara embarrassed me by calling the waitress over told her that I wanted to photograph her said all kinds of nice things about me and my work and said that she should definitely work with mehelliphelliphellipWe did and the result was the image ldquoCaptivatingrdquo
About the image In our consultation session Mahalia and I both agreed that we wanted to create a lsquodifferentrsquo type image one that not only looked beautiful but that had impact also While not a professional model Mahalia is able to produce a wide range of lsquolooksrsquo from classic 40rsquos glamour to cute and silly to a deep haunting look that is absolutely riveting Because she required very little direction regarding posing and expression it made my job much easier As a result I was able to focus on composition lighting etc It was and is a great partnership Over the years I have collected a lot of lsquopropsrsquo (Some very unrefined people might call it lsquojunkrsquo-) One of my lsquopropsrsquo is a wooden-framed window which came from an old house in Novato that was being torn down I hung the window frame in my studio from a boom stand had Mahalia wear a dress I picked up in a consignment shop a few years ago positioned my lights to the side to create a moody effect and then had fun capturing a number of images with a variety of looks and expressions We ended up with quite a few great images but this is the one I kept getting drawn to so that is what I went with I added the lsquowallrsquo around the window frame which required extensive work in Photoshop but did very little retouching on Mahalia (she has a fresh beauty that I wanted to preserve) I had a difficult time (as a lot of us do) coming up with an appropriate title I came up with about two dozen titles before hitting upon lsquoCaptivatingrsquo As soon as I said it out loud I knew that was the title I want to thank the judges for all the nice compliments about lsquoCaptivatingrsquo I passed them along to Mahaliahellipwe both appreciate them very much thank you (I just sent lsquoCaptivatingrsquo off to Nationals todayhellipthink positive thoughts for us-)

Captivating Before I explain about how I did this image I have to say thank you to two wonderful women without whom
this image would never have happened The first of course is the beautiful model Mahalia who is an absolute treat to work with The second is Barbara Meier I was having lunch with Barbara in a restaurant when a waitress walked by and I made a casual comment to Barbara that the waitress had a wonderful look and that I would love to photograph her Barbara embarrassed me by calling the waitress over told her that I wanted to photograph her said all kinds of nice things about me and my work and said that she should definitely work with mehelliphelliphellipWe did and the result was the image ldquoCaptivatingrdquo
About the image In our consultation session Mahalia and I both agreed that we wanted to create a lsquodifferentrsquo type image one that not only looked beautiful but that had impact also While not a professional model Mahalia is able to produce a wide range of lsquolooksrsquo from classic 40rsquos glamour to cute and silly to a deep haunting look that is absolutely riveting Because she required very little direction regarding posing and expression it made my job much easier As a result I was able to focus on composition lighting etc It was and is a great partnership Over the years I have collected a lot of lsquopropsrsquo (Some very unrefined people might call it lsquojunkrsquo-) One of my lsquopropsrsquo is a wooden-framed window which came from an old house in Novato that was being torn down I hung the window frame in my studio from a boom stand had Mahalia wear a dress I picked up in a consignment shop a few years ago positioned my lights to the side to create a moody effect and then had fun capturing a number of images with a variety of looks and expressions We ended up with quite a few great images but this is the one I kept getting drawn to so that is what I went with I added the lsquowallrsquo around the window frame which required extensive work in Photoshop but did very little retouching on Mahalia (she has a fresh beauty that I wanted to preserve) I had a difficult time (as a lot of us do) coming up with an appropriate title I came up with about two dozen titles before hitting upon lsquoCaptivatingrsquo As soon as I said it out loud I knew that was the title I want to thank the judges for all the nice compliments about lsquoCaptivatingrsquo I passed them along to Mahaliahellipwe both appreciate them very much thank you (I just sent lsquoCaptivatingrsquo off to Nationals todayhellipthink positive thoughts for us-)
