Click thumbs for full-size portrait-format shots!     Tell me all about the wild rides! Life’s careless when you follow the waves, and easy when you lead, emerge on top and grow richer for the time you spend. These are byproducts of a photo session I had with a friend for passport photos in early August 2011.
Years and spaces now lie between us and those final days in Germany. Even then, the lines on her face talked to me about where we were headed, and when I look back now, it seems like they’re still speaking. Daring me to reach out to her through the screen. And I feel like I can. She never ages. She once told me she wanted to be forever young.
Whenever I look into the mirror, thousands of stories look back at me, and I often stop and ponder. I ponder how many parallel universes there are with me in it, and in how many ways I’ve already died in them. I find it hard to understand that all of my life is just part of the same world, and that I’m still around. This is a scene from the movie “The Intruder”, a haunting story by Jacques Bouchard, made in Montreal in 2008. More pictures from that set will follow.
The studio wasn’t furnished. It was alive. Flashes lit up the air, voices chattered, models laughed and mucked about, eyes and cameras on them. Photographer Mark‘s Montreal visit from Atlanta culminated in a lighting workshop. It was November 6th, and he had invited photographers and artists from the entire city. Backdrops? Simple. White, black. Props? Few. Outside: the street. A flash and umbrella. A softbox. Well-chosen lighting breeds excitement. Vibrancy. Liveliness. |
