I think that Izzy had more fun doing a suspension than anybody else. She had been pestering me for quite a while to do one, and now I could see why...

"I am not interested in rules and conventions... photography is not a sport. If I think a picture will look better brilliantly lit, I use lights or even flash. It is the result that counts, no matter how it was achieved." ~Bill Brandt

I love a point of view like this. To me, it seems to force the viewer into the image and become part of the image. When you shoot from below, typically a subject can make the viewer feel as though the subject is in control of a situation. The simple act of looking up at a subject/object can impart a loss of control or the idea that the object is unobtainable. In this case, since the subject is bound, it throws that notion topsy-turvy— which I think makes for a nice tension.

She looks as if she's just a little bit afraid...

Come on little miss and do the twist. Oh yeah, just like this...

Biteable: a term to describe a person of the opposite sex that is so incredibly cute that you just want to give them a nibble. Not so hard that you get a full course meal, but hard enough so that you could accurately rate them.

Cold shower stare. Also, a close-up on the cold shower stare.

I've done so many of these sort of formal, sitting on a stool shots over the years— I could probably gather them into a decent series.

Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever…  it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything. ~ Aaron Siskind

Old film shot. It was taken a couple of hours after the piercing, so the bloody holes are still visible.

I've done this type of rope dress too many times now— it's time to move on.

Fun With Photoshop. I can't decide which one I like best– so here are three different versions. I usually do the depth of field blur with the lens only, but sometimes it's interesting to play around with Photoshop to get different results. The thing with PS is that it can look a bit fake (because it is...), and with the lens it always looks real.

While the thigh high suspenders were perhaps unnecessary (but a nice touch), the shoes definitely were necessary— the tar rooftop was really dirty and sticky.

Same thing, different points of view...

“Being in the womb was like taking a nine-month bath. I wanted to take a shower, but no matter how hard I kicked, or how loud I screamed, my mom wouldn’t listen.”  ~ Jarod Kintz

Trying out a new tie, with some new hemp rope. It's actually quite simple, but I love the versatility of it.
