Super Update

So, I was having trouble in the beginning of the semester on what portraits to take, I was bouncing back ideas with outside shooting and a continuous light and studio lighting. They were ok, but weren't working the theme that I was going for. After weeks of contemplation I found a solution, Fem Fatal. This concept is pretty much about "fems" in the lesbian world who, for lack of better words, play the devils advocate in their appearance. Obviously as men, straight and some gay, "stud" women, we have this identify to be masculine. So the answer to who we like, or what we like is already on the outside. But for "fems" this isn't that straight forward. The idea sounded great, but unfortunately I couldn't get a hold of anyone. I kept trying but I came to a dead end. I though, we what else effects me in this world, and thats when Melanin Queen came to mind. Now as some of you know there is this "thing" going around about being Melanin, any insoluble pigment found that account for the dark color of skin. So I did some thinking and came to a conclusion of what I wanted to do. So I chose a couple girls that ranged from the lightest of the darkest of the dark. I wanted my project not only to be about Melanin itself, but about the richness of the skin and how each of these skin complexions makes that girl who she truly is, and to be proud of what color you are. Imagine if you were lighter or darker, it wouldn't be the same, so embrace what makes you, you. I will be posting pictures by the end of today. Ive shoot three girls so far, and I have another shoot tomorrow. Ill probably finish with 6 girls after all this is over with.
