Danny's Photoshoot Meme

[dalekboy]

Write to me if you'd like to know how I would like to photograph you. Don't tell me how you'd like to be photographed, it's my job to come up with something for you.

All your comments will be screened, so people will only see my replies to you. I will unscreen your original request only if you ask me to after I have replied.

Disclaimer time - I may need you to point me towards a recent photo of yourself since my memory for people's faces/bodies is often crap. Be warned, you may find the way I'd like to photograph you ridiculous, insulting, boring, obvious, exploitative, confronting, confusing, completely off the mark of how you see yourself, or completely uncreative. Worse still, I may not be able to think of anything for you. If I can't think of anything for you though, it probably means I just need to chat with you more, to spark some ideas.

Either that you or have no discernable personality.

Yes, I am mean. Tough it out, you bastards!

I'm game.

I may even be game for the photoshoot.

We've vaguely discussed this on occasion since making me turn out well in photos is a challenge (at least I think so).

The userpic above is one of the few decent ones I have.

See, on one hand I'd like to get a really nice portrait shot of you, probably set outside, with you looking off to the distance. The only feature of your face that would make that hard is your nose, I still think it's doable, but may need a much better photographer than me. You wouldn't try to hide it, but I'm wondering about the sort of angle and lighting needed so it doesn't distract from you.

The other would require a major set-up. You in extreem sweaty close-up, boxing gloves held close to your face, you're in the middle of a truly visious boxing bout. You're probably blurred from movement, lips drawn back in a snarl as you throw a punch, maybe a cut on your eyebrow leaking blood. This is not someone to mess with.

I'd definitely like to try the former sometime and I've seen enough of your photos to believe that you could pull it off.

The latter is very different but what the heck I'd be willing to give it a go. Probably because it is so far out of my comfort zone I'd like to go there and find out.

Oh and go ahead and unscreen me. :)
