And here is another:

I have barely started going through the shots from this shoot.

Any thoughts, opinions, or comments? :)

Thanks.

I think the portrait ones where she has the chain could look alot better in duotone ...

Like this though ...

Hadn't gotten around to it yet, but yes, you're right, looks good both in b&w and a duotone style:

Is that kind of what you had in mind? :)

I really like the duotone one. Great shots, all of them. ;o)

lol. fair enough :) ..

actually, i want to get some really weathered, 'distressed' looking chains, instead of these lightweight, shiny, new looking ones i've been using ..

Home Depot will have Galvanized ones that aren't shiny, are very cheap, and wont get your models dirty or infected :)

I think Galvanized ones would look much better ....

OK, purely out of curiousity, why would anyone want to have their picture taken with a bunch of chains? I'm thinking here, "Such a beautiful girl, she doesn't need the chains - why?"

I've seen people walk around with chains on their clothing, and all I can think is, "That must be so heavy, so uncomfortable." I love blue hair (and I would colour my hair blue if it weren't that my husband hates it), but chains elude me. Why?

contrast. hard stuff on soft stuff. even if you're not into domination or bondage or whatever, it still can have some contrast appeal. Lots of imagery goes with chains; strength, boundries, bonds, responsibility, freedom (or lack thereof). that sort of thing.

why am i not surprised you know where to get good chains? :)

not only what pedro said, but in a photo there may be some elements of the symbolic and theatrical to the photo. they may be more about a theme or an idea than just about the personality of a particular individual :)

might be more the personality of the photographer than the model! ;)

agreed. :) one of the best parts about doing model photography is the fantasy aspect of it--being able to act out your own ideas and visions thru them. kind of like playing with dolls as grown-ups. :)
