Every year as I try and work on an art series, it takes SO MUCH WORK to get that first shoot... usually I have a hard time to describe just what I want to shoot and what it means.

Then I shoot the first look, and say "this... I want to shoot this" and the floodgates open.

I have been spamming and casting for 2013's "sins and virtues" for several weeks... to no avail. But it looks like I may have someone on board for "Temperantia" (temperance, opposite to gluttony) soon... and let the awesome commence.





Superbia (Pride) is going to be the hardest to cast though...

I fail at casting, both as a model and a photographer. I get such a specific idea of what I want in my head that I never find the right people tongue

It still boggles my mind that people don't jump for the chance to work with you. Every time I see your castings, I'm like "ooohhhhhhhh!! ...I bother him too much" haha.

Good luck with your shoot!

I need to shoot it all!

For "sin city" the merest mention of "partial nude" and people run and hide, though.

For 90% of the photographers in this town, it's understandable. There are some jerk people. But...all they have to do is CHECK YOUR REFERENCES AND/OR LOOK AT YOUR NON-TRASHY-PORTFOLIO! I mean, c'mon! You're awesome. smile Got meee nekkid a few times tongue
