Daily Photo: Early Steam Rat (Incomplete)
Filed Under: Photography, Speculative Fiction, Uncategorized
I had my second model shoot tonight. Over the past three days, we sorted out costuming, a shoot location, and actually did the shoot. The model, Michelle, was fantastic to work with, and I look forward to working with her in future projects. I am planning to make her character in the Roundbottom storylines a somewhat important one, so I suspect we’ll be shooting again soon. The other all-star hero of this shoot was Sarah, who is pretty much responsible for the costuming here. She’s a genius a putting this stuff together quickly. I think we’re going to do some shoots of her characters, Miss Watkins, very soon. Miss Watkins will also be narrating a field recordings podcast as part of the Roundbottom project. Right I’m just building my inventory of photos and written pieces and podcasts ideas up unti I have 3 months of constant work to be released on a weekly basis.
Note that this is not a complete Roundbottom image and in fact isn’t very close to the way I do the sepia on those other images. This is a quick and dirty look, just to get a feel on which images I want to develop further in Photoshop. The real Roundbottom images are going to take some time. I was looking, and out of a little over 90 shots, I flagged 45 as picks. That’s an unbelievable ratio of good shots. I have some serious culling to do…

Will you reveal your secrets and tell us what that apparatus in the background is? (In real life, I mean — I’m willing to wait for the Roundbottom storyline for whatever it is in-story.)

Great photo … but also - beautiful model! She’s a stunner, and no mistake.

Thanks Paul. Yes, she is quite beautiful, but not in that bland, generic way that is so common among models.

The props help, of course. I keep trying to tell girls that they should wear waistcoats more often and carry large wrenches. This may explain why I am still single.

For me, it’s the goggles. Any woman with goggles on her hat or around her neck is automatically 2x cooler. Maybe more. The big wrench is vaguely intimidating to me. That thing is freaking heavy!
