Beginning Motion Studies

We are beginning to experiment with stop-motion photography. Our first set was shot with our standard studio equipment. We used fixed lights that required a high ISO setting (resulting in a grainy picture), a low Aperture setting (resulting in out of focus pictures when Ana moved toward or away from the camera), and a relatively slow shutter speed (resulting in blurring when the motion was too fast). Despite these problems, we thought some people might be interested in the results so they are available in the session downloads area. This first attempt contains about 200 photos of Ana going through several quick motions like jumping and falling.
After this session, we immediately bought a faster flash that significantly reduced all of the problems for our next session, with Lola.

Every model in the Art Models project

Every Model in One Place

We have added a page showing every model in the Art Models project. If you want a quick overview of all the different models who are available, the Model's page could be a good place to look.

New Model AnaIv

Ana has a background in theater, gymnastics, and dance as well as other performance arts. She is helping us with poses based on dance, motion, and drama. Her first session featured mostly poses based on dance movements that could be held for a rotation. We also spent some time practicing photographing rapid motion such as leaping and spinning. Future sessions will include Ana in motion photograhed front, back, and side. This is in preparation for book 7, which is being discussed in the forum.
See Ana on the Poses Page.
