Fashion photography without a model

Making do with what you’ve got…

Archival: Didn’t have a model, nor a dress form so a microphone stand had to stand in. 

Juliet: Ingenious. And how’s your website rebuild going?

Archival: Still rethinking it. Can’t run an online school now. Too much itty bitty stuff to deal with. Want to focus on presentation and pictures and text.

Juliet: Hmm.

Archival: It’s a bit like Kathy. This was thirty years ago. I asked her to join the team. She was such a good teacher. Great team player. Long phone conversation. Said she wasn’t teaching anymore, just wanted to focus on her pottery.

Juliet: She did?

Archival: A year later she was gone. Then I knew why. She hadn’t said. But she was right. Hence my studio and resorting to make-shift and make-do props.

Juliet: And a pinwheel face on a new garment.

Archival: Right. Focus and be a little outlandish.
