The story of One x Two
Added 2024-04-11 09:40:28 +0000 UTCThis download was born from a shoot that happened a couple of years before I started releasing downloads. When I decided to start selling them I was releasing a new one every week and to keep up with that schedule I needed to dive deep into the archives and evaluate if I had enough content for a download from pretty much every shoot I've done. There were some that didn't make the cut but this one did... sort of.
Before releasing downloads, unless I was shooting for an exhibition I was just shooting for fun and for my own entertainment without having any real goal in mind. This shoot was one of those. We actually did a few different setups but the third one didn't really have enough to include even though I love the images. So I took the two other sections of the shoot and put them in one download with some reworking of one section. Thus, the name One x Two.
Part of the shoot I had the model Chris against a large white diffuser lit from the other side of the fabric to really blow out any detail behind him and hopefully wrap the light around him. It worked with some unforseen quirks. I was getting a coloured tinge in some spots as a result of the lens and the lighting. That's what inspired me to do some bonkers colour "light leak" overlays simulating when old film is accidentally exposed but with a twist.
Then the second half was some classic, beautiful man in black and white photos. You can't beat the classics at times, especially when you have a model as beautiful as Chris. He was at the time, a sex worker so has no qualms at all about nudity but also has classic chiseled features and an incredible body.
