Behind the scenes section?

[Abby]

Something I have thought about before, and even mentioned, is a "behind the scenes" section. I often snap off pics of the team at work, kinda take ten steps back and take a picture, that sort of stuff. I guess I don't have anything to hide, so I'll put up some of these pics if there is interest.

You'd be able to see us all fooling around in breaks (and see the models relaxing in the pool, or smoking), models talking on the phone, lighting setups, the mess the studio gets in when we shoot three models in one day, and so on. To me, it's all pretty mundane, but let me know if you are interested, and the kid of stuff you'd like to see.

That sounds like a pretty good idea. It'd be interesting to see what goes on in a photo/video shoot and see the models outside of the "posing for the camera" realm.

That sort of feel is that I really enjoy about the videos.

The interesting thing about photos like that is seeing how much work goes into even the simplest shoot. The lights are probably the most hasslesome part of the whole set up. Most people really don't realise that (I know I didn't).

And lights on a hot day are another matter again.

I'd absolutely be interested in this. I guess we're all interested in "natural-looking" girls, warts and all, since we're here at Abby's site. I'd love to see the girls just hanging out, maybe tired and resting, maybe just feeling goofy.

How about an outtakes section?

I agree, an Outtakes section is a great idea. There could be some really interesting material.

Over to you, Abby........

i was just wondering if there is a behind the scenes story to the pic Anastacia 097 ? or was it just a cute pose lol .. liked it tho ...

[Abby]

Pic anastacia097, not much of a story, I am afraid. I often ask the models to give me a bit of attitude, to cover up their nervousness, make them feel a little more comfy, and she interpreted that as flipping the bird, much to our amusement.

Usually models do that thing, you know, cock one leg out, drop a buttock, hands on hips, raise eyebrows, and we take it from there. But she did it a little differently. VM has made a wallapaer of the moment, actually. It suits the attitude in the pic (she was actually quite timid and shy, as a person), for sure.

097 is actually the shot she did for the video camera, 96 is the one she did for the me. You'll see a fair bit of that, me taking a picture of the model looking elsewhere (ie, not at my camera), she's usually looking at the video camera in that case (and vice versa). We're going to start doing less stuff at once, and try to devote more time to video by itself, allow a bit more setup time.

We're on a constant quest to improve the quality! http://www.abbywinters.com/discus/clipart/happy.gif
