Salem Oregon Fetish Photographer?

Not really intentionally, I have shot a bunch of latex stuff recently. I had plans to use the leggings and a fuzzy sweater with Marissa, but she dug the corset so much when she saw it that she asked to shoot in it. That corset has been photographically awesome. It is sleek, shapes and pretty much looks good on everyone who wears it. It was a little big when Mary tried it out, but it still worked. It was perfect for Marissa, creating an S curve on the torso and V shape downward.

Had a shoot with Mary today. Love her figure. She is around 6 ft. and thin without looking sickly. On top of that, she is really nice and smart - really nice to shoot with. More to come at my flickr page and www.adamphotographic.com.

You know, this girl's face is amazing. Not only is she a great model, she is super cool to work with.



This one was shot at 1250 ISO and then made even granier in post. I made it more contrasty to go with the dark feel of the shot.

Here is another photo from my shoot with Marissa. I am getting them edited to get to her and thought I would add another post with a shot or two. I really like this headshot in black and white:



but I also think she pulled off the rest of this shoot (as always) really well. It is much harder than people think to model - especially when you are 5'4". Inch for inch, Marissa is the best in front of a camera. If I was selling something that needed captivating eyes and great presence, I would hire her.

Here is one from my shoot with Marissa. I will post more on my flickr page as I get them done.

Merry Christmas!

Salem Fashion Photographer

The holiday season has been crazy busy. I have been booking shoots left and right, developing more commercial business than anytime in the past - a lot of fashion and some business executive portraiture.

I have to run to shoot this morning with Marissa. We haven't shot in a while. She is awesome to work with, but our styles diverge quite a bit. If you look through her portfolio, there is a lot that I do not personally prefer (probably because she has worked with so many different photographers of varying skills and styles), but there are shots in which she looks stunning. I have had some of my best shots come from Marissa as well as whole sets that have not worked so well, through no fault of hers. It could be that I am out of touch with what is fashionable, but I prefer more minimalist stuff than what she usually does (kind of the Gordon Ramsey Kitchen Nightmares school of photography, simple, good, clean shots). The challenge is to do something different each time, and this time, I have several new ideas, weather permitting a couple.

Overall, shooting with her is very much worth the potential reward of getting one of those jaw dropping shots that her experience brings. I work with a couple of models that are physically more suited to modeling than Marissa (like Mary who is 5'11") but none are better at working in front of a camera.

Latex in Salem

Got ahold of some latex fetish gear from a friend, so I have tried it out on some models and a boudior client. It is actually a tough thing to photograph well.

While I am not a fetish photographer, I do like to shoot all kinds of different stuff. The most interesting thing about these outfits is that the people seem to get into the persona a bit more and give me some better emotion when posing. Props to TS for letting me post this and for being a mom of two, she looks great and pulled off a difficult modeling shoot for someone who has never modeled anything before.
