Self Censorship

Week 8b – Self Censorship Round 2 – Kodak BW400CN (expired) (-1 Stop)

Based on the positive feedback from the first batch of Self Censorship tests I am happy to report that I am moving forward with yet ANOTHER project this year. Probably won't be as big of a huzzah as I am making of my 52 rolls. But I will continue posting examples from this one through the year as well. 

Because of my work with Titan a few weeks ago, I found the model Morgan via instagram and was surprised when she was immediately on board with what I want to do with this project. 

For those who were concerned last time, yes I still drew directly on the negatives this time as well. I am experimenting with some sort of plastic sheet over top of the negatives so that I do not "destroy" them. But so far I haven't come up with the exact look I am going for.  

Many images in this entry also include nudity and therefore are not safe for work (unless your work is cool with that).

Week 6b – Self Censorship Project, Experiment – Kodak BW400CN (Expired) (-1 Stop)

So I've had this idea floating around in my head for a while. I shoot a lot of nude model photos, it unintentionally has become what I am most known for. And sometimes it just seems like people looking at the photos are looking at the model's "bits and pieces" and not the image as a whole. So I came up with the idea for a project where I purposefully censor myself.

Now this concept is not quite what you are about to see, but this is pretty close. I'm going to keep at it and see what happens.

Development Notes:

Just in case that first warning wasn't enough.
