And a lot of them are simply portraits of interesting faces. A few, with people I know well, are about what's going on between us and I suppose there are a small handful of pictures you might label erotic, because they were when I did them.

    As far as I know, I haven't shot anyone in hooker garb or even fancy undergarments. There's a leotard and some undershirts worn, but not the usual heels and stockings and other props that people associate with pin-up and boudoir styles...
    I've got to say I sure appreciate that Frank. Your models are beautiful, and when I see them, fully clothed, and the way you shoot them, their beauty and appeal is much greater than any "skank mode" shot, which always seem out of place to me. But seeing how you represent them, as you'd see them in their real lives, is very appealing. They don't need wilder costumes or less clothes to be knockouts.

    No push. Look at the edges - that's polaroid. The Cambo twin-lens-reflex is side-by-side vertical - like most pages in magazines. There is a bit of lateral parallax to bother with and here I was lucky. The idea was a square girl with square jacket and hair for a credit card. In the next shot she takes it out of the bag.

    Yes, I was wondering about the lighting in that one too. The whites of the eyes make the picture but have me thinking 'where is that bird?' Anyway, a wonderful piece of theatre.

    As far as I know, Christopher uses, almost exclusively, single diffused light sources. Is that right? With reflectors for fill?

    In any case, it is indeed stunning. As is everything here.

    Ideally no fill and never ever with a reflector. Sometimes a black panel on the sides.
    (plus a good make-up artist and some putty behind the ears).

    I think you should shoot progressive images. Then the baby. (don't stop there)

    Dear Allen,

    Merci...

    This young engineer is surely a talented soul, where she occasionally seems to be too critical about her natural appearance among her friends, but this time her criticism was limited to "Damn, I should have taken off my frigging socks..."

    Go figure...

    Again, thank you for your comments kind sir.
