Experimental Vintage & Fetish photographs (Current)
I’m planning a series of shoots over the next year (studio and location) that will be processed using antiquated printmaking methods including Painted Lith Prints, Cyanotype, Argyrotype, Calotype, & Contact paper to begin with, looking to experiment with Gum Bichromite, Albumen, & Platinotype in the future.
I will primarily shoot in digital (so you can have a CD of the shoot for your portfolio) and will then make digital negatives to use with these processes. But I will also begin to incorporate my antique cameras in shoots as well for Ferrotypes, Ambrotypes and sheet film.
This is all geared towards creating a range fine art prints at some considerable expense to myself, so these shoots will be TF* only.
I will be able to cover some (reasonable) travel and should be able to provide a few items for costumes as well.Please note that there will be one or two shoots involving pro-mua and wardrobe which will mean that I can’t cover other expenses.
Themes I’m looking to explore are Pre-Raphaelite and Surrealist inspired portraits, Art Nude, Antique Nightwear/Underwear, Modern Fetishwear transposing scenes from a certain classic book of wonder.
Also note that visible piercing and tattoos will not be suitable for the vintage shoots.
Serious enquiries only - I work full time so they will be Saturday or evening shoots at push.
The majority of these ideas are for female models with scope for a couple of shoots with male models. Any MUA's, Stylists etc who would like to expand their portfolios can also feel free to get in contact with me.
