*Lighting was played around with the entire time to find better ways to emphasize shadows and etc.
The model used in this shoot was none other than Bibbit, formally known as Holly Kay. I would just like to clarify that all these photos were taken candidly over a 45 minute conversation that Holly and I had. All these emotions are real because I would feel uncomfortable for the rest of my life if I asked people to formally pose for me. This is just a personal opinion and not one to disrespect anybody else, I do believe genuine moments make the best photos and that taking formally posed photos are, quite frankly, boring and don't give the viewer an opportunity to feel the authenticity of the moment.Now I know what you're all thinking, "Wow Jwan why don't you just become Richard Avedon", and to that I say: I thought Zanini's drawer Avedon was named after an avatar or an underground brand of condoms, and I thought the picture of that white-haired bastard Richard Avedon was Donald Sutherland, Suferland, Suverland, I don't know. So this was purely coincidental. For these pictures I tried to stick to profiles because i'm obsessed with David Bailey and his profile photos, death before no Bailey xo.
"Holly you're actually the biggest choncho i've met in my life"
"hahahahahahhhhhhhahahahahahahahahahahahha(laughter)"
SO I know the lighting equipment in the back might be a bit of an eye sore, but not really at all. When I showed Zanini this picture she said the equipment at the back was, and I quote, "Some Annie Leibovitz S**t", which is exactly what I was going for, and she spotted it so cheers Zanini you lil Sherlock Holmes you. (I'm not being sarcastic I'm being dead serious) (And that wasn't sarcastic either, seriously.) Wow even I'm getting lost in my sarcasm . So just making sure my statement was NOT sarcastic.
Shutter Speed: 1/60
Aperture: F-5.6
Lighting: 1:2
"Holly holy s**t you're so friggen pretty"
" Jwan what the f@!* are you saying, ohh my god wow okay no shutup"
"Holly so help me god I will punch you in the throat if you say one more word"
"Alright i'm sorry"
Shutter Speed: 1/60
Aperture: F-5.6
Lighting: 1:2
I can't remember everything I'd said i'm sorry
Shutter Speed: 1/60
Aperture: F-5.6
Lighting: 1:2
So really, it's safe to say that I inspired Avedon, rather than him inspiring me.
