Lingerie
The designs of Christine Vancouver are classic and so I gave them a classic treatment with lots of help from Liz, Charlotte and Natalie. I shot large format for the shots going for publication.

I also collected a series of digital close ups. As most people are aware the Polaroid Corporation stopped making instant film and so now I resort to using the digital cameras to check and make sure everything is happening the way I want it to before I commit to film. Natalie’s face is irresistible so I grabbed a tight shot of each look Liz and Charlotte came up with while I was doing “digiroids” for the shots that were going for publication.

Liz also grabbed some bts while Charlotte and I were doing our thing:
I can’t resist tinkering. I also wanted to shoot this with continuous lighting as opposed to flash. There is something about flash that interferes with moments like the ones I wanted to record for this shoot, so … here I am wiring up some lights to use. I have shot with fluorescent lights before. This portrait of stylist Alecia Ebbels is one instance. The shape of the light you get from these strips is unique I think. They are a royal pain to work with though.
Here’s a couple views of the rig. That’s Charlotte sitting camera side in the second image.
And a couple of me hiding behind the camera to round things out.
