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 have? I don't remember that, but then I'm hopped up on painkillers at the moment so...

Actually, probably inspired by your River costume at one con, I think you're another salt lake person. Moving, dancing, never still. Actually, photographed in low light on a long exposure, with with just a couple of flashes so we get a still moment in amongst the lines of blurred movement.

Another thought, though I have no idea how I'd photograph it to look good, would be you as captain of a down and dingy space freighter. Something that wheezes and grumphs along, only two steps up from being steampunk. Or maybe not captain, but the engineer, complete with grease marks on your face where you've absent mindedly scratched while working on something.

You're so the down and dirty practical type!

Though of course then I want to get a soft feminine photo, all girlie. But that doesn't last before the image of you in the middle of a giant super-soaker battle comes to the fore, relentlessly and joyously drowning your opponents.

Now I'll need to look through my old photos. Depending on the camera, i may well have been going, "Is that in focus?! I can't tell!" Or I may have been going, "She's a fine looking woman... why does she look like that in the photo... ew!"
