I posted my images of Ella Rose first here: My Part 1 would end up at Part 1,253 That was my 6th shoot (October 28) developed and scanned first. 🙂 And I just realized I snuck in shoots between the shoots I scheduled before arriving. So this timeline might be completely and totally WRONG, but who cares? Right? So much has happened since then. I am ready for years end. You know, I am taking suggestions for next year’s get together. Don’t be shy in sending them my way. I’d love to announce it before February so we can all start planning. Throw a dart at the map!

Sara Liz and I started off at Todos Santos Inn for my 7th shoot on October 29. TSI is not really my flavor, which is why I stayed at the Hotelito to start with, but it was an absolutely GORGEOUS hotel. Every little detail you could imagine wanting, they had. Beautiful bathrooms, lovely white linens, gorgeous suites and and and… I just like it modern. I tried forcing the shoot a bit and just decided that we were going to all three hotels in 2 hours! So, that’s what we did. Todos Santos Inn, Casa Bentley and Hotelito all in one. Enjoy. 🙂

A landscape photographer at Fest X

1 Comment on A landscape photographer at Fest X

Landscape photography was my first love. I was shooting landscapes for decades before I ventured into the figure genre, which I started in 1998 with the figure in the landscape. Since then I have continued to shoot both, with a distinct preference for outdoor work, deriving my inspiration from nature and the model’s interaction with the landscape. But increasingly the traditional nude in the landscape left me dissatisfied. I could not answer the questions, Why is (s)he there? What is (s)he doing there? If viewers of my images were to remark, Wow! That’s a beautiful image of a nude, I would consider it a failure. Over the years I explored the figure AS a landscape, celebrating the abstract qualities of shape and form, line and texture, found in both the inanimate and the human form. The first two images here are with Brooke.

The following images are with Kiera Grant…

Finally, in some of the following images, I think I have come all the way around, from photographing the figure in the landscape to the landscape in the figure, where the human form but a frame or tapestry for the landscape! The last few images are with Stephanie Anne.

This will be my last blog post for the year. My next post will be from another continent. Meanwhile I invite you to preview Integration, the book. Wish you all Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year!

Candace at the Beach

Below are a few shots from my shoot with Candace at the Playa de las Palmas. This was a quick sunrise shoot on the morning I left Mexico. I wish I had had more time to work with Candace. She is a pleasure to photograph.

Cheers!

Shoot 5 October 27, 2011 – St. Merrique

St. Merrique and I shot at The Casa Dracula and at the Hotelito. Lots of pictures! I posted some earlier as I was in the midst of editing everything, but might as well put them all in one space.

We stopped at La Esquina cafe before our shoot and I had them fix up an iced mocha with three shots of espresso. I was feeling kind of “duh” in Todos Santos. Not sure why, maybe it was the drastic cut to my coffee intake upon arrival. Well, espresso intake. Espresso makes all the difference in the world! Anyway, it finally did the trick. I wasn’t moving at a snails pace anymore. And I think I took more photos because I was just stupid high on coffee! ha. I work best with lots and lots of mocha.

I worked mostly with my Rollei and later switched up and used my tilt-shift lens with my 35mm Nikon fM.

Merrique rules! By the way, incase you needed telling.

A few months before arriving to Mexico I had this image in my head all of a sudden of Carlotta with a Sombrero posed exactly like this:

© 2011 Zoe Wiseman - model: Carlotta Champagne — © 2011 Zoe Wiseman – model: Carlotta Champagne

So I emailed the owner of the Hotelito to ask if she knew of any shops in the area to purchase a sombrero or if I should buy one in Los Angeles and suffer the issues of flying on the plane wearing a sombrero. She told me a friend of hers had some antique sombreros and they just so happened to be from former El Presidente’s of Mexico. Of course I promised to treat the sombreros with the utmost care and she came through for me. This speaks volumes of how amazing she is. I’m thankful she entrusted me to use the sombreros. They were gorgeous!

Carlotta and I traversed all corners of the Hotelito during our shoot and found some beautiful light and cool areas for posing with these historical sombreros and for doing other images too. ¡Arriba! Carlotta is blessed with the ability to work in so many different genres of photography and it’s always so great to work with such a pro. I didn’t get to see her feature in Mexican Playboy while we were there… anyone have a link? Would love to add it here! Quite a coincidence. ha.

Enjoy our pictures. 🙂
