Ever photographed model who made your HEART swell?
yes, Unfortunately he was str8 and married. sob. but we've remained in contact and have become friends. He's even invited me over for dinner. He was just the nicest model ever. Very honest and tactful which I seem to find less of with the models I've been shooting lately. Jul 29 06 08:47 pm Link I have no heart. grrrrr - phffft phffft I'm a cold hard calculating precision driven machine that only exists to ...... ::: hold on, she just walked in .......... ::: bt Jul 29 06 08:48 pm Link Yes actually. Not only did my heart swell, but then it fell apart like leaves in the autumn wind. She was the first beautiful woman to step foot in front of my lens and WOW did I hose those shots up royally! That's when I first learned that just cause the model is gorgeous, doesn't mean the pic will turn out good, or even ok. Everything on my end of the bargain was terrible. The composure, the lighting, hell even the focus was off. Ever since then Iv made it a point to never make that same mistake again. She gave me my first hard learned lesson in photography. Now if she would only give me my heart back... Jul 29 06 08:52 pm Link No but I have had one chop my heart into pieces and eat it for breakfast lol!

She says she is my "guinee pig" and that I'm hers (we are both photographers) so when I can get her in front of the camera my heart (as well as my anatomy) swells for her. She has given me life and given me a son. She has given me inspiration and given me hope. She has given me the essential thing in life that every person on earth needs: love. Of course my heart swells when I photograph her because I'm capturing not just her beauty but her heart as well. Jul 29 06 09:34 pm Link CHProductions wrote: Are those violins I hear? Jul 29 06 09:35 pm Link Yeah, my heart swelled once, and we'll be getting married soon. I have been lucky enough to shoot some awesome women over the years, but there was just something special about Roberta. We chatted on line for years before I finally got up the nerve to tell her how I felt about her, and well, I guess the rest is history! Jul 29 06 09:43 pm Link  Jul 29 06 09:48 pm Link Yes, and it made life hard. Vitaly Jul 29 06 09:49 pm Link Vitaly Druchinin wrote: Ah yes, ah yes... the eternal conundrum of life!

She Posed like she had been doing it for years, Beautiful Looks,an even better Personality, and was a Makeup Artist to boot... she had a Great Vision and.... Sigh*... What was the question? lol!

Jul 29 06 10:23 pm Link veritably... shes my gf now.  oddly enough...i never asked. Jul 29 06 10:23 pm Link Marko Cecic-Karuzic wrote: No...no accident. You need to admire so you can appreciate.

Sometimes it's after, when I'm looking through the RAWs and imagining possibilities.. But.... If the whole thing doesn't have that effect on you... Seems like there'd be way easier ways to make a living.. Sometimes it's nice to be able to say to a person, "You're beautiful.." And not have it mean anything more than, "You're beautiful." And it's always nice to be able to show them the proof.. Jul 29 06 10:31 pm Link I fall "in like" with most models. ...we spend time together creating images/art. How can you not? My heart belongs to the one of 38 years with whom (it is written in the stars) I will grow old. Jul 29 06 10:38 pm Link LoL, notice models aren't participating! They are silently watching...but I seeee youuuu I never fall in love when at work, but I never fail to be mesmerized. I am too polite to stare, but I wish I could! Doing what I do requires that I pay close attention to the model, but any type of thought is distracting, so I have to empty my mind of any thoughts or emotions.

There is something attractive about everyone I shoot that draws me in. Some more than others. One even left me literally speachless. Never thought that could happen. Jul 30 06 11:16 am Link Ewwww, Models have Coodies! lol jk =] Jul 30 06 11:46 am Link niz3n wrote: Yep, we never outgrow puberty.

I am now too guarded to be a Romantic, I was, a hopeless one even. Jul 30 06 12:35 pm Link I guess 4 times in 33 years of shooting. Im very picky.

However I had a model who some how made me think too much about her after the shooting and I'm still thinking... oh gosh. Where I can find a Doctor to cure that thang...? : ) Jul 30 06 01:24 pm Link sure, and i've got the ex-wives, empty bank account, and zipper on my chest to prove it. Jul 30 06 01:26 pm Link Every model I have ever shot...Its crazy! Jul 30 06 01:31 pm Link Rrr. But then again today it's a dried up little fig. Like the Grinch in reverse. Jul 30 06 05:43 pm Link This is a weird forum here. lol I only read through 20-some of the replies and everyone said they have at least once (the wife thing doesn't count though i guess) i can actually say that i never have, whatsoever. i try to talk to my models on-line or e-mail a lot before the shoot so that we can get to know each other a little to ease the uncomfortableness during the shoot. but yeah, never fallen for any models. and the "artistic" perspective doesn't count. I'm an artistic through and through, so as corny as it sounds i find beauty in everything. Jul 30 06 05:52 pm Link There is an excitement and joy whenever I view something beautiful TTL. My heart races just a little, and I may mutter OMG in my head. During these times I feel so, so lucky to be seeing things the way I do. Sometimes it is a model, a landscape, an abandoned building, an insect, my son...whatever. When I really open my eyes I see I am surrounded by beauty. I feel I'd never appreciate many of them if I wasn't a photographer! Jul 30 06 06:05 pm Link Wow, that is by far the sweetest notion. Creating a captured memory of someone you utterly adore.. And even more if the object of affection has no clue.. Jul 30 06 06:07 pm Link |
