Description "There may come a time when a hard-boiled employer thinks you're awful nice..."

marylin monroe

------------------------------
Photographer : Me aka Dead Things
Assistant photographer : *flood aka Dark Violet
models : Camille F. and Nicolas G.
Assistant to Miss F. : Emeric M.
------------------------------
Atmosphere : August 2004. The weather was stormy and stifling. It was already very late in the night and the shooting was barely beginning.
We were a little crew : two photographers and four models (all four virgins to the camera), isolated in the big castle. We had little light and photo materials, loads of black coffee, more sets in the castle that we could possibly use in one night.
We were doing overtime.
Camille F. and Nicolas G. They were both curious, open, excited, jam-packed with intuition and natural seduction, seduction wich they not spilled on each other, but only to the camera. It was a real delight.
Camille F had never worn make up or high heels before. She was uneasy at first, and then, WILD! She was DYING for me to ask her to show more!
Nicolas kept his pro on all along, unlike the big bad wolf he embodies on this picture!
----------------------------
Missing prop : a cigare!
----------------------------
Aesthetic : First time I was trying to do NON-UNDEREXPOSURE! Tricky! Underexposure is okay when you focus on models and props. This time, it was very important that I took best advantage of the place and set. *flood helped me with the lights (that is to say he burned his fingers instead of me ) We both like cartoon aesthetic, with flashy colors, surreal logicless lights.
----------------------------
Concept : Don't worry, this is not blind feminism or blatent exposure about sexual harassment! Men are no wolves, and women are no angels... That's why, as usual in my Art, next photo will be the counterpart.
----------------------------
Overtime 1 A.M.

Tu parles francais?... de naissance ou d'apprentissage???

En tout cas, merci beaucoup, surtout pour l'expression dans les yeux (déssinés sous photoshop... shhhh... c'est un secret!) et pour la lumière, il y en avait tellement que toute l'équipe s'est à moitié rendue aveugle! MAis ca valait le coucoup

naturellement d'apprentissage... j'etais dans une ecole privee ou tu parles en francais. j'adore etre francophone.... quoi que ce soit genial photo. photoshop est vraiment Δ± ndispensable je pense. c'est aussi une autre forme d'art. il faut savoir manipuler pour rapprocher a nos reves...

There is such depth to this picture. So many things catch my eye at once that I need to stare at it longer to take everything in.

This is defin8ly my favourite of the series.

I love high-contrast shots, and this is really a great concept.

The only strange thing is... ehr, that pineapple near the phone?

However, I really like it. This is worth a fav, nice work!

nishler [2005-03-18 14:28:06 +0000 UTC]

actually some are wolves and eagles.... be it women or men
it all boils down to our different perceptions and experiences...
it's a very good subject to touch upon yet a very difficult one to really interpret
good work

Your models! The girl seems so naive and the guy so horny! The way he places his hand, he's bent forward! Very strong body expression! He wants her

DeadThings In reply to SYBILLINE [2005-03-13 11:04:08 +0000 UTC]

Wow, tks for him!! He posseses an exceptional range of emotions, colors and expressions. He masters his face mussles like no-one. He's the king of grins. And he know body language too...He is indeed a good model, and he doesn't even know it.
I do hope though that he doesn't REALLY want her :S ?!! :

Well, the light and colors, this is the best you did so far. The quality of the image is exceptionnal. As for the universe and concept, it's funny and light as usual... but a strong vibe to it. Kudos.

DeadThings In reply to ottavio [2005-03-13 11:00:59 +0000 UTC]

The best I did so far? Wow, that is sad, if I managed to do my best only with light and colors!
I was hoping CONCEPTS were my thing... light and color, thos are *flood 's things.
As for the suality of the image, it's VERY low, so pixelised (bad scan). As for the universe, funny's the word I'm aiming for.
Thk you for all.

Tks! A blast??? wow
I usually don't base my photos on mood and color (not enough to call it art imo) but for this time I gave in.
I'm so glad you like it.
