In the Carolina’s there’s this thing called “The Art of Porching” 
Hanging out on the Porch watching the Sunrise or Sunset,
or taking pictures…  

Throwback to a Portfolio building trip in Wadmalaw, South Carolina , a quick video clip taken right as the sun was dipping below the Horizon.

Faded photographs
Your eyes say a thousand words to me
Faded photographs
Shadows fill my lonely room

Can this world be a masquerade
Are you really what we see on the outside
And hidin’ what what you really are on the inside

Did a workshop with Michael Louis Photography Studio a month or two ago. Two exceptionally talented were featured. Petite Ukrainian Model aka Masha Poses and Nikki Marie.
This particular set, the idea was for the attendees to shoot the models while they shot each other, in this case Nikki shooting Masha. The twist, they were taking actual pictures.
I had them use one of my old Canon Bodies and pumped the ISO up as far as it could go! Something different…something that turned out pretty damn good. Nikki killing it behind the lens,
Masha giving Nikki all kinds of emotion while simultaneously they are both giving their all for the Photographers shooting them !

As deep as any ocean, As sweet as any harmony  … Mm, but she blinded me with science

I think a photograph, of whatever it might be – a landscape, a person – requires personal involvement.
That means knowing your subject, not just snapping at what’s in front of you. ~Frans Lanting

POSE – A way of standing or sitting, especially in order to be photographed, painted, or drawn.

Campfire at the Golden hour with Model Actress Makeup Artist Masha.
Even with the fire it was a little chilly, but the setting and mood was to good to pass up.

There is no abstract art. You must always start with something. Afterward you can remove all traces of reality. Pablo Picasso
