I'm working on new series, incorporating some of the images from the failed illuminated manuscript attempt. I will be doing some more shooting in August, when I have the time as well, and I am really looking forward to that. I would love to post a new image here but it has nudity in its content. Eventually, I will have a separate link to it for you all to peruse. In the meantime, I started a new job, in addition to my modeling, which I am not thrilled about but the bills must get paid.
Hope all is well with my fae friends and have a wonderful weekend! *hugs*
Thanks to the fairy muses that inspire me, I am working on a new project. I spent 2 years on a body of work that didn't fare well, which led to a depression and a frustration including thoughts that I really wasn't an artist. Well, a few months after these thoughts began, I put that series on a back burner and just started shooting again. Now, between the new images I have, and some of the previous ones, I have a stronger concept.
During the summer months, I do most of my outdoor photography. For those that do not know, I photograph myself but sometimes use models with me. I've managed small groups of 5 people, including me but I would really like to do a larger group. If you live in the New York tri-state area and want to model for and with me as a creature of the wood (male or female), please contact me. I can offer travel money, lunch and prints for your time, as I do not have any gold stashed away in which to pay, unfortunately. I do also require a model release, even if you are in masks.
Serious inquiries only. I will conduct an online interview via email, including a photo of yourself to get an idea of what you are like. Realize I do not know you, so there is a bit of trust needed. If I decide not to use you, please do not take it personally. I will know what type of person I would like based on gut instinct.
I take my work very seriously, but how can one not have fun dressing up in fantasy costumes?!
Thank you for reading this and I hope to hear from you soon. :)
If you're not already familiar with it, join Model Mayhem (sample: my page). Once you've done that, you can post a "casting call" on your page, which will show up (for a short while) on the main page as well (you can renew it too).
Of course we're pretty unique here in the photography world, so if you keep bringing eyes to your site, you wont need any front-page announcements to bring you the people you need...
I need to find someone who does modern day illuminated manuscript artwork, somewhat locally to NY, so I can pick his/her brain about some things. If you know anyone, can you please have the person contact me? I'd greatly appreciate it!
Oh yeah - Houston went well. I've landed an exhibition in Amsterdam and possibly my third in England. :)
On Tuesday, I am off to Houston, Texas with my Illuminated Journey portfolio and a more "traditional" black and white portfolio for exhibiting, selling and/or publishing opportunities. Galleries, museums and publishers from around the globe will be there for me to present my work to. Please wish me luck!
What LOVELY photos! And the locations are dreamy! Wherever did you find them? Actually they would be perfect backdrops for photographing MY work, too... Hmmm, perhaps I can talk you into divulging the location... Absolutely gorgeous work!
Hello AnnMarie, thank you for joining our EF community & bringing your amazing work here. I have always loved black & white photography, it was just so expensive years ago to get the films developed - yay for the convenience of digital;) I think that's why I love the old movies so much, such great contrast & atmosphere... Congratulations on your latest exhibitions, how wonderful!
Smiles,
