Skulls And Tulle

     When you think of skulls isn’t tulle the first thing you naturally think of?  No? Well, maybe it’s just me.  It’s actually my love for opposites that made me think of pairing the skull sweatshirt and the tulle skirt.  Fancy meets not so fancy.  And it’s not in the least bit Christmasy so that was a bonus.  I can’t do back to back Christmas type looks.  That’s no fun, I need to mix it up a little so I threw in some Halloween in December. Keep ’em guessing right?  Maybe next week I’ll get out the bunny ears and basket.
     My super smart husband solved my lighting problems for me…isn’t he the best?  See the slightly blurred white spot that’s been showing up in my photos the last few days down towards the lower left of my body? I was nauseous about it because I thought there was something wrong with my fancy new Canon I’ve only had for about six months.  Well, he fixed that too.  When I pointed it out he said, “Um honey, that would be the big smear of something I see on the lens of your camera.” God, I love that man.

Here’s another gratuitous dog shot.  This is my beautiful little girl, Charley.  She sat down and posed for me in front of the backdrop when we were playing with the lighting.  All on her own, without being asked, no coaxing or treats involved.  She that look of love on her face?  She’s supposed to be my dog, but it’s her daddy she’s gazing so lovingly at…

Okay…what are your lighting tricks? It worked like a charm. Also…the photo of Charley is professional portrait quality.

Who doesn’t love tulle?

Did you put lights behind the sheet? Or just to each side? Enquiring minds want to know : )

Isn’t she beautiful? I’ve dabbled in photography for years…mostly nature, but some of my best shots are of my dogs. If you’re patient (or lucky) you can really capture so much emotion on their faces.The lighting…Since there are no windows I have two lamps positioned to my left but on the opposite wall facing me. Those are just so there is some light in the room (there’s no overhead light either, it’s a damn cave!). I was using two clamp on work lights with soft spotlight bulbs in them. We eliminated one of those and clamped the other spotlight on… Read more »

I keep forgetting I want to sew up a tulle skirt, then I see someone in one and wish I had just done one already! Note to self, buy tulle. :o)
My 18mo old is sitting on my lap and exclaimed, “Puppy!” He is patiently waiting to look at the picture again while I type this.

Great combo, love your skirt. Aww Charley is so sweet too 🙂 I was wondering how you got your photos so good too, thanks for the tips, I love to post my outfit but as it is so cold outside and hard to take them with a messy garden, my inside ones always turn out so bad 🙂 off to find some lamps now x
