The Last Year

More of Lola LaMour

Here is more of the shoot. The next series here is Lola in a dug-out canoe modeled after the ones used by Lewis & Clark on their exploration of the west. All that kept going through my mind was 'Did Sacajawea look this good? Probably not, she didn't have fishnet stockings!'

The first two are color and black & white of the same shot. I think this needs a light lighting her from behind. That should keep her hair from blending into the darkness. Something to keep in mind when shooting at night.



These next two shots kind of follow the form of the classic bubble bath shoots. It was something that crossed my mind when I put her in the canoe. On the next shoot I will have to locate a claw-foot tub, fill it with Lola & bubbles then shoot away. Also, with this pic it was shot with an aperture of 1.4f making the depth of field very narrow. The ones above were shot at an aperture of 8.0f lengthening the field of depth. So most of Lola is in focus.



Lola & I are working out some ideas and a time for a second shoot. Stay tuned for more of this shoot in the following days. Then later in the next month or so there should be a bigger better hotter Lola LaMour for all to see.

First shoot with Lola LaMour & for added dificulty at night.

This was an impromptu shoot. I had been wanting to shoot Lola LaMour for a few months and this night she was ready 'for an adventure' as she put it. The only lighting in place was the building lights and a couple of street lights. Trying to provide some extra light aiding my camera auto-focus I purchased a hand-held spotlight. But I found my D-cell Mag-lite flashlight was a better solution in providing focus light. Using the pop-up flash on my camera, with a Gary Fong Puffer flash diffuser I partially blocked the diffuser to cut down on the glare, this is the result.



This is the same shot but I hit it in Photo-shop with a slight bit of noise and film graining. It gives this picture a retro look and feel. Lola was not happy with the rain slicker look and I have to agree it was not the best choice but it was what was available. Next time we will try this pose with a faux-leopard skin coat. That should bring this picture right into something amazing.



This is the first of about 5 shots that will be displayed from this shoot. They should be out in the next couple weeks.

I would like to thank Lola LaMour for all her hard work this night. She was a trooper and I look forward to doing some better work with her in the future.
