The Long Awaited Naked Photographer Post – sort of.

Yep, that’s right boys and girls.  Step right up and take a seat for the palest show on earth.  That’s right, I’m in front of the lens again and this time, I left all those pesky clothes in the closet.  Now, before you cover your eyes and after your gaze, understand that all these photos are safe for that bastion of purity and safe haven from all things prurient; Facebook.  Nary a female nipple, nor hint of my southerly charms shall inflict your innocent eyes.   Fear not for I those posts are not ready.   Yet.

Read on to see what happens late at night when a photographer is bored and his wife is out of town and the models have all gone home.

A Self Portrait of a Photographer in Leather

Took this after finishing a shoot where the model specifically wanted the high-key, single light look ala Terry Richardson. The setup is simple enough;

  • White paper seamless for backdrop
  • single naked strobe parallel to and just to the right of the lens.
  • model within a few inches of the backdrop

That’s it.   Stupid simple setup.  Getting exposure right at +2 compensation took a few shots, but once it’s right, lock down the camera, set the strobe and start taking photos.

This was from a quick set of me just playing around with the remote after the session.   More self portraits coming while I work out logistics with a couple of fantastic Atlanta area photographers to put me in the hot seat in front of the lens.  I can’t wait.
