May Day and the people are in the street ... well, mostly sitting on the curb. I remember back in the day when they communicated by tom-toms and MARCHED and now they tweet to OCCUPY. More signs of old age. lol.
May is a great time to play in the sunshine but I love to shoot in the studio with the AC on ... more nipply.
May was named for the Roman god of the elderly so this is my time.
May is the month of Cinco de Mayo, the Kentucky Derby, the Indy 500 and according to the Hitchhiker's Guide, May 25 is Towel Day.
It is a perfect month to shoot with sombreros, fast horses, fast cars and a towel.
Any ideas?
As you can tell, I am a little older ... turned 50 last year and it is starting to show more and more each day … than about 99.37% of the girls here but that means there is less competition for "mature" women. People say "Coco, what's your secret?" No secret. Irregular exercise, marginal diet plan, poor gene pool, hemorrhoid cream under the eyes, MAC, Maybelline, Max Factor, turn the bad angles away from the camera ... more and more of them ... and Photoshop baby! lol.
I am here for something new and exciting. I am not interested if you say "show up and we will figure something out" . At my age, it takes a long time to get ready so without a plan, I would rather eat chips and sit around scratching my belly .... sounds good just thinking about it.
I like to do things that are tasteful, fun, adventurous and classy with a little bit (maybe a lot) of sex appeal. I am open to fashion, lingerie, pin-ups, old Hollywood, g/g, body painting and implied. Haven’t done latex yet, but open for that someday. I don't do totally naked nudes ... ya know, all that naked stuff (women of age need some help) though being nude is not a problem as long as I have a little protection. That being said though, nudity for art like drawings, painting and creative images are fine ... just no photos for "art's sake" bs. I am into great pin-up art in various forms but mostly, it has to be fun.
Be creative and let's see what I can do for the sake of art and hopefully beauty. My time is very precious so I only do this for excitement and/or (lots of) money. If your concept is something that thrills me, the money doesn't matter. If I can do all of these, it is going to be a good day.
I always bring my driver/escort who is there for the entire shoot. He will stay out of the way but I use him as a mirror so he can tell me what looks good or not. (this is not negotiable unless we have worked together before). Some photographers are so full of themselves about not wanted to be interrupted but no one is that good.
At the end of the shoot, I will bring a flash drive to download the files so I can review them and discuss them for PS. Some photographers want to control the images and if you pay me(a lot) for the shoot, they are all yours. Mostly, it is about sharing and collaborating. I also prefer few photos and more costume changes. 50 pix of one outfit is good for just one usable photo so shoot all you want but it will be a waste of time. 50 pix of 3 or 4 outfits and we have something to work with. Make each click count. Always have a plan and let's do it. Location, setting, theme and wardrobe planning makes for great fun for all.
If you have a model release, let me know and send me a copy in advance so we have an understanding before we shoot. If your release requires me to relinquish all rights to you for no pay, I will not sign it so save your time. We can share the use of the images so allow me the right to approve anything that you use.

Mostly, let's have fun. coco
