The Human Canvas - Into The Woods

 
Into The Woods
(Music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim)
 
But in this case,
it's the end of an evening with Lenore.
I had drawn three pieces on her, which I've published as "Serpentine Fire", "Harry Potter and the Order of the
If you wanna go back and see THOSE individual
sessions, go back and hover over the name of
each one. I've embedded a link.
 
 
Back to the woods though.
THESE woods. An orange orchard, actually.
I've always loved this spot - day or night. It's now
special for me for other reasons...
 
 
But it's always presented great photo opps...

 
And I've always found
the trees to have QUITE an animated feel.

 
The idea had been forming
for quite some time to draw on someone,
and do some night photography.
 
And REALLY take
advantage of this backdrop I'd been presented
with SO many times before.
 
 
So...
Once again...

 
Meet Lenore.

 
After the third drawing,
It was a matter of going up to the orchard...
 
 
And sort of finding ourselves amongst the trees.
I actually had a very specific tree picked out,
but we ended up elsewhere.
 
 
But that's the great thing
about an orange orchard. There are SO many
trees with a VERY expressive sense.

 
 
 
This shawl was originally brought
for a bit of warmth, and a bit of protection for
the drawings, but it became
a great prop...

 
With tones that worked for color OR black and white.


 
And really, just a lot of nice photos.
 
 
But now...
Lose the wrap, and work once again on
blending in with the trees.
 

 


 
I mean REALLY blend in with the trees.
 
 
Oh yeah.
How about some shots
that actually show some of the drawing.


 

 
This was really
a great time to step away from the drawings,
 and just be photographer - playing with exposures...
 
 
...and effects.


 
We'll see you again soon.
