Model call!

I’m after a few people for photo ideas I have. You may know people through your various activities who would be ideal for them. There’s no charge for photography, as this is pure play.

My own images in the inspiration galleries below have the Smoke&Mirrors Studio logo in the bottom right corner.

What can you do with fishnets and some careful lighting? Something just like this.

The seven minute video contains 140 images of women, almost all from Christchurch and Canterbury.

I love photographing women in fishnets, and the photos always turn out great!

I don't know if it's the way the weave of fishnets accentuates the shape of the legs. Or the way the black net against the light skin creates a lot of contrast. Or the way fishnets are still often seen as being a little naughty.

Add in some carefully arranged lighting, a chaise lounge, posing suggestions, classic black and white photography, and the results are worthy of being seen.

As usual, my model is new to being photographed and was nervous going into this. But we have enough wonderful photos to fill a book.

Taken at the Smoke&Mirrors Studio in Christchurch late last year.

From a recent fabulous fabric photo session with a long-term collaborator.

In the bay windows of my studio (behind the model) with a floor fan set to storm mode.

Love this photo!
