I love this soft, romantic look with a futuristic edge. The lens flare and color make it very other-worldly.

Today I wanted to show you my Retouching Video of a portrait I did of Valeria. As a photographer it’s a little difficult to reveal the process. I think in some way it feels like the mystique of a sexy photo is diminished when presented with… dun, dun, dun, THE BEFORE. That said, I think it is really important to share techniques. Much of what I’ve learned has been a result of others pulling back the curtain.

So, In the spirit of full disclosure here, is the first of many such videos.

This is the first of the final images of Allison Halter, artist number 2 of 100. I’m really pleased with the way it turned out. I love her piercing blue eyes and the glint of her gold rimmed tooth. Allison joked that she looks like the most white person ever, yet, with her tooth she has a hint of gangsta. Those unexpected moments are some of the reason why she is so fascinating to me. That, and her wonderful cloud puff hair, and of course, her major bling.

From the article: “Like his Radical Faery namesake Pan, artist Wayne Bund functions as a sort of playful piper, leading lost boys and girls into magic and mischief. In his new show, MIMESIS, Bund grabs a cohort of Gen X and Y queers by the hand, revisiting their childhood fantasies through photographs taken in constructed sets. ‘I realized my work wants to argue [for] fantasy taking over notions of truth,” says the 31-year-old Pacific Northwest College of Art alumnus and faculty member. “MIMESIS is really about mimicking reality … mimicking what exists in life versus what lives in the realms of imagination.’ Bund has photographed each of his 10 subjects in two settings, a bedroom scene that stands in for reality and a childhood fantasy set. He initially opened the show April 21 with just the bedroom photos; the fully installed process-based show opens May 19 at Place.”

These are wonderful images. I’m always fascinated by the processes with with we perceive someone’s gender. These images do a fantastic job of providing enough dissonance to shake up those assumptions. Gorgeous or handsome? Not sure, don’t care.
