I am just trying to create something beautiful, maybe even artistic on occasion. Toronto Does the artist brag about her brushes? The writer, his pen? Neither me my camera(s). See also https://linktr.ee/larrywilliamson

It is a lot of fun. I recommend it! Especially if you have a creative model to work with. Some of the best seems to come from her ideas ๐Ÿคช๐Ÿ’•

A fun idea with Alyssa ( @literarywhore.bsky.social )

What a cute idea!

I love this. Very cool. It took me a while to work out the details and I love it when this happens.

Sparkling Kat

After shooting with Kat in my studio I rewound the film and took pictures of the lake on a sunny day. Some frames are in focus and some out of focus of the surface reflecting sunlight.

I do not understand the current fixation on removing one of the body's beautiful details.

Part of a series I shot with @rileyjade.bsky.social on some Revolog film that they pre-expose with this light pattern.

haha, good to get into the seasonal festivities - but only just a little, must not overdo it ๐Ÿ˜œ. I alway like the effect of this gold leaf material on the body. What is used to get it to stick? Does it have a glue backing? Or does it just stick naturally? Or?

I discovered this Revolog film through another photographer I did a film swap with last year. He had posted some other work using it and I knew I'd have to try it and especially with Nella.

I told @nellaa7.bsky.social about the film and asked if she would simply play with posing ideas.

Nella is moving away from Toronto so this is probably the last time I'll get to work with her. This makes me sad. I have always enjoyed creating with her.

I love to explore various styles of lighting but especially light that creates these almost abstract like images.

I hear you! There are a couple of people I wonโ€™t work with anymore for this reason. Sad. ๐Ÿ˜ข

I wanted to work with her before she moved away but we never seemed to be able to make it work. Oh well ๐Ÿซฃ

If that could ever be true, I think I'd have to try harder to create a new IG account.

I don't know if it's all that tacky, actually. It is a real frustration but fortunately (at least in my case) not a frequent issue. ๐Ÿ˜’

100%. I have run into this very issue as well. Thankfully only a couple of times.

~ garden nymph

Another film swap project. This time I was swapping with myself ๐Ÿ˜œ. I had a really fun afternoon with Carmen a few months ago. A few weeks later I rewound the film and did this exposure in my garden. The overlap is rarely perfect but often it feels good.

~ water nymph

Kayla and I had a great afternoon last month playing around with a few film project ideas of mine. In this case after we shot this roll of film, I rewound it and shot a series of second exposures in a nearby ravine. This is an out of focus view of the river's sparkly water.

I met Gloria through a mutual friend. I asked if she'd be interesting in exploring some of my abstract bodyscape ideas.

A foggy morning at the lake. I should try to get out so early in the morning more often.

Indeed, they make me uncomfortable although I've read that is what art should do. It was her idea, this is good. They are very effective.
