Sussex Photographer Bernie Greene scratching out a tune while trying not to fall off the roof

Louise

Had a fun session with Louise Taylor on her roof last night. Here are some of the results.

When she started getting cold we went inside.

Not because she was cold but because it is a lot of work to retouch goosebumps.

She did her own makeup and wardrobe too.

What’s happened to the 365? Not sure yet. It is currently suspended while I catch up on some more urgent work. But I also have to figure out if it belongs on this site.

Well I needed to get the processing finished on Barbara’s session and I had a bunch of other non photographic stuff to get out of the way. All of which left me without having made a 365 pic for today. I could still do one but it is now 2:00am and I don’t have anyone else around. I will continue tomorrow.

So these are all from the session last Wednesday.

Chesterfield

I have this affect on women.

Hat and Mac

I like the movie scene quality of this one.

Smoking

She can be ice cold and totally hot at the same time.

Golden Mac

Love the colours of this one

A New Hat

I can just imagine her walking into Raymond Chandler’s imagination.

Head Shot

Loveable or what?

And then came Joey…

The Boyfriend

Barbara and Joey

and that was that.

Bond Bad Babe

Another from the session with Barbara Lanik on Wednesday. Note this is not a 365. It is nearly 9:30pm and I still haven’t got that done yet. I was thinking if I post this I might be let off but that won’t cut it so I’m going to have to find a shot somewhere somehow with someone. It’s gonna be hard to match this so don’t get your expectations too high!

Saying Goodbye

I’ve been working flat out proceesing all the images from the session on Wednesday with Barabara Lanik. This is from that session too so it isn’t a real 365 shot. That means I’ve failed. Wanna make somethin’ of it?

I’m really happy with the images we got on Wednesday. Barbara is so easy to work with. It felt like she could see the shots from my viewpoint. She worked really hard for nearly eight hours.

Barbara

This is Barbara who acts, sings and models and who lives in West Sussex. Today we worked together for about 8 hours and made several like this and others with a little film noir flavour. I love the pinup pictures of the ’40s and ’50s and so does she so we had a lot of fun dreaming them up and getting them done.

Jasmine has left. She was a great model. I’m having to resort to using myself again. Too bad eh?

Bernie

Anyway back from London now sitting near East Grinstead.  Good to be able to work with a decent monitor again and a proper keyboard. It is very difficult to process images using a laptop display.

I’m continuing with my experiments with Hollywood photographic lighting from the 1940s. I love it. Fun and dramatic stuff. This one uses three light sources. The one from behind and above is at full power and is a bare strobe. The other two are at about 1/8th power and are also snooted so as not to spill light into areas where I didn’t want it. See if you can figure out what the placement of them was.
