I really dig all these polaroids, its a shame they've stopped selling the film, but I'm sure you bought enough for at least a few more years. I also have a question:

What did you use to wrap that model in your picture "Wrapped 1". Its a very cool effect and I'd love to try it out in some of my work. I know, I know, its not up yet, but someday when i feel like I have something good enough to post. Also, is she the same model from your image "White"? I want to get a feel for what kind of distortion I should expect from using that material.

Thanks, you rock!

The material is gauze that I purchased from the local fabric store. The models in Wrapped 1 and White are two different models.

Thanks for your interest in my work.

thehottesttamale In reply to polasam [2008-08-16 05:02:54 +0000 UTC]

Thanks very much. Do you wet the gauze after you put it on them to form a closer bond to the skin, or just wrap it very tightly? Also, where do you find your models? I am somewhat amateur and don't know if models would want to use their time with me learning.

polasam In reply to thehottesttamale [2008-08-18 01:54:23 +0000 UTC]

The gauze is wet. I wrapped the gauze around the model then wet it with a spray bottle to achieve the effect I wanted.

You are able to set in scene the female body on your very individual way.
Beautiful photography, cause you have the sense for the representation of the female body.
