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've actually almost taken the sort of photo I think you'd be great for here (http://dalekboy.livejournal.com/152330.html). The Arse-Kicking Angel of the Lord. It's just that the pose with the hand is just a bit off.

But a whole sequence of these would be sweet. Big surly angel with a "Don't fuck with me," attitude and smallish wings. Arms crossed staring at the camera. Wielding a huge sword. Surrounded by demons and standing in a "Bring it on!" pose. There's so many great shots we could do, and you could so pull that off.

One of the things I love about you is also your ability to pull off the ridiculous well. So another two that spring to mind are one of you in a suit, looking surly and mean while drinking out of a tiny, very delicate, china teacup. I'd want it just being brought to your lips as you glare at the camera, with the cup dwarfed by your big hands.

The other version of that, you sitting down at a childs tea party set, pouring pretend drinks and having an absolute ball. Not sure if there would be children or toys on the other seats. Of course we'd probably have to seriously reinforce your little chair!

And yes, I'm aware that it's obvious who you are because of the link, but I'm still not going to unscreen you because I'm odd like that :)
