Mother Earth and how it was done.

Well .......I have done a semi nude shot......of myself arghhhhhhhh!!!. I'm not what you would call skinny or this type of model id say I was more round and fat and dimply, but with having no one to model for me and me not wanting this lack of model situation to stop my creativity I did it myself. I don't feel particularly embarrassed as you cant see anything of anything to embarrass me. Well apart from my huge belly and wobbly legs. I do feel that you don't notice this as this blends into the photo and doesn't become a   "oh my god there's a big naked fat girl in this image" type of thing. But this might because I see my body quite regularly I might not notice it as much as others. I wanted to do this type of goddess type image of her looking as if she is emerging from the earth or becoming part of it. I wanted to do long hair and have the leaves looks as if they are a part of her and she is apart of nature. Hopefully me being the model in this image wont ruin it and im right that you don't notice my size as much as you would do if I was just in an ordinary image. Take a look and see what you think.

And here is the you tube video on how I have done it :)

Reach for the stars how i did it

I thought you might all like to see how I did my image reach for the stars. Enjoy

 

 

I wanted the illusion of floating and airy which meant piecing parts of the dress to give it the look I wanted. To top it off the body shapes I needed or wanted where all in different images so I had to piece them all together like a really big jigsaw. Im really pleased how it turned out  

 

Reach for the stars

 

Reach for the stars

 

The clouds looked as if they could be touched, they looked fluffy but also looked like they would take her weight......should she?.....should she try and climb the clouds could she reach that one bright star in the sky. You wont know until you try.

This feels so much with what im trying to achieve and what loads of other people are trying to do. To get to that one bright star in the sky in the hope our dreams will come true.

Here's Donna!!!!!!..........again

IM BACK!!......bet you all thought I'd gone for good. No i've been here hiding behind the scenes looking after a badly injured husband from a motorbike accident and not being able to get models for my shoots when I wanted. So ill let you into the plan. I have made a little studio in my garage and I discovered that even though im overweight I don't take to much of a bad photo. Admittedly it would probably be a lot better if I did have willing models that would like to help me out and if I didn't do them myself I wouldn't be able to do any photo shoots and if that was the case I my as well quit, and I love photography far to much to just quit now. I have so many new ideas and im so exited to get started,
 So you will just have to put up with seeing my chubby little self trying to model ;p.
