Honestly ? The best model I've ever seen in your shots....better lock her up in the cellar, she's got natural beauty. :)

2nd shot is fantastic. Looks like a playful model that would get into the spirit of the session.

She looks like "a natural" to me Gabe, seems very comfortable with the camera...I like her smile and eyes in your first shot, she seems to have a bit of a mischievious nature in that one! :-)>

I was thinking of the exact same thing, Mich. But I wasn't brave enough to say it... (*

Please don't keep me in the cellar!!! Mich and Star you are correct in your guesses. Thanks guys, you made me blush.

So I was right about that mischevious nature! C'mon, let her out of the cellar now! Cal's way too georgeous to hide away! ;-)>

I have known Catherine or (Caladonia) for way many years & have shot her casualy over those years a few times, but We never did anything quite like this. I think it's funny, because I want to redo these with the right make up and her bagpipes. All we had was a basic stage make up kit that did not have her acual skin tone, no lipsticks, one dry eye liner, old blush that was clumpy & neither of us really sure on how to use or aply it... As for her being a natural, Catherine has always been amazing at comunication through her eyes, I remember when I used to go to her parents house, and she would have a complete conversation with her 2 sisters with out even one word being used. That used to freak me out. But it is amazing how some one can speak in silance. My 2 favorate are the first and last shots. The entire shoot was done in my living room with 3 cheepy Smith victor lights, and a black cloth backdrop. So when we are all in NYC for the show, I may atart trying to get some of the other forum members in a make shift studio, and seeing if we can't get some really good shots for a forum member portrait section. What do you all think? -GABE-

Beautiful shots, both of you!

That sounds kewl! (But I'm kinda miffed because I can't afford to go to NYC and see this whole thing happen if it does.) (*

Great portrait shots Gabe and with so little equipment ! If I had formed a picture of Caledonia it certainly wasnt this one. Got to vote #2 my fav. just love the lighting and the pose. Getting the UK together might be fun :O) But feeling a bit sad for PC all alone down there, but I wont miss any more shots of him, LOL, gave me a right fright the last one ROTFLMHO :O)

Very Nice! What a beautiful lady you are Cal. And what a fine job you have done here Gabe. My only suggestion would be to keep the house a little warmer. Poor Cal has goose bumps all over in those first two shots ;-) BTW... Simple lighting set ups still seem to me to usually produce the best results
Slynky posted Fri, 20 September 2002 at 10:05 AM
oh yeah, i forgot, aside from the wierd bloody gash on the last shot, Cal is a hottie, heh heh. ...well she is
