In the last few months I had several shootings in different places with frau_katzenblum. I took over 10,000 pictures with her. And edited more than 1000 of them. So as you can see, the nine images that I present on this blog are only a very small part of our work together. And not only that: it’s just an excerpt from a single series that was created during our last shoot together.

Double Exposures with Contortionist BendItLikeBirch

Double Exposures with Contortionist BendItLikeBirch - Blog-Beitrag von Fotograf Curtis Joe Walker / 03.06.2021 03:41

Any time that I shoot with BendItLikeBirch, I like to take double exposure Instant Film shots. Since she’s already able to pose in surreal ways, the double exposures can be especially intriguing. I like using the Lomography Instant Wide for double exposures because I’ve gotten used to it’s quirks and it is fairly reliable for me. In addition to multiple exposures, it also lets me hook up to my studio lights.

My workflow is to set up lighting and shoot digital, and grab film shots along the way, or all at the end. I set the digital camera to ISO800 to match the film and make setup easier.

A pack of film is only 10 exposures and sometimes it can take a surprising amount of time to make those 10 shots. Double exposing slows the process down considerably and it can take as long as an hour to get through the pack.

I occasionally make my instant film originals available for sale, and I always have prints. A compendium of my instant photos will be featured in an upcoming issue of NudeArtZine, including a few of these.

As a rule, I avoid concentrating on the clothes during photo shoots, as it is very often just run-of-the-mill clothing. Only when I think the clothes are extraordinary do I use them specifically in my pictures.

From time to time my wife has ideas for dresses that show more than they hide. Then she creates a pattern, orders suitable fabric, cuts everything and then sews the garment. I take these pieces with me to my shoot when I think they fit the model and ask the model if she would like to pose in this outfit. With this top I found the model and the almost empty location very suitable. I also photographed her in another self-made outfit in this location. Pictures of it will follow in a later blog post
