Nadeshiko

Local model Nadeshiko Yamato came by the studio a couple months ago. I thought this photo really summed up what she is like: Very pretty, yet understated, with a definite subtlety about her. It’s almost as if she is about to say something but is holding back. That is what the shoot was like – very quiet, hardly a peep from her, it seemed, but not an awkward silence. It was more of a natural comfort with who she is. Quite an interesting experience.

Heather – Tattoos

Carl — Thu, 13 Jan 2011 16:59:56 +0000

Heather came to visit me to be part of my tattoo photography project. I have a video interview to edit, as well as a few more up-close photos, but here is a sneak preview of her ink.

Model: Kateri

Kateri came to the studio to get some photos for her portfolio. She does belly dance, among others styles, here in the DC area and was curious about trying out modeling as a sideline or something to round out her portfolio.

The funny thing about her was that even with the large number of photos I took (about 900), not a single one was bad. She is not just beautiful, which you can tell from the photos, but is so well poised that every time I snapped a photo she was on point and looking sharp. I have never worked with someone whose gracefulness and beauty made its way into photos as consistently. It was a true pleasure to shoot with her.

Check out some other photos from my shoot with Kateri.

Tattoo Diaries: Christine, Part 5

Carl — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 17:03:08 +0000

In this episode, Christine continues the narrative of her body art, talking about the tribal and butterfly tattoos she has on her back, as well as the one she shares with Angelina Jolie, which represents her struggle with an eating disorder.

Christine is a model I met who is covered in well over 20 tattoos, each one with some meaning or story behind it. As such, this was a very lengthy interview and will be broken up into five different videos. Be sure to check back to see the new videos and photos as they become available.

My last post featured an unedited photo of Vasara Noxxul, a model who came by to participate in my tattoo project. Vasara was a lot of fun to work with. She is the type of person who is really an expert at what she does and it is clear that she enjoys it. Seeing that type of expertise and passion is a lot of fun to watch.
