12 Days Project 2011

Model: Susan C.
Every year around this time, I make time in my schedule to shoot some new ideas, some things I have yet to try, and a few do-overs of shoots that I've done before, but I think I could now do better. I aim to do about 12 shoots, but the busy holiday season always means fewer get done.

Here are the rules:

All shoots are TFCD, you get web-resolution shots of the shoot, plus you get to pick your favourite three which I'll give you in full-resolution. The concepts will be listed below and I may take suggestions, but if you're looking for something specific that's not on the list or outside of my general interests, then consider looking at my Holiday Special instead!

Hair and make-up are on your own, or with a stylist/mua who is willing to work TFCD as well.

The idea is to have some fun and wrap up the year with some great new photos!

Send me an e-mail or Facebook PM to show your interest and to try to book a concept! You may not get your first pick, so let me know a few ideas that jump out at you!

Concept List:

  • Classic White Shirt
  • White Sheet (see this pic for an idea)
  • Artistic Nude
  • Candid SG-styled
  • Continous light (soft focus)
  • Sofa series (lingerie, directional light)
  • One-Object (new series)
  • Winter Glam
  • Valentine's Pin-Up
  • Cozy Sweater (bring your favourite!)
  • Hockey Jersey
  • Body Paint (no experience here!)
More ideas will be added here and shoots that are reserved will be crossed out! Suggestions are welcome!

2012 Holiday Special

It's time for Photopathic's 2012 Holiday Special! Not a touching cartoon about the true meaning of photography, but a chance for you to save big, while making someone very happy for the holidays!


For only $100 (half-off the usual $200), you get a 1-hour photo session in the "For Him" style. Make some sexy pictures that you will be proud to show off to your partner, loved one, or maybe just for yourself!

You get:
  • minimum of one hour shooting time (we don't watch the clock)
  • unlimited wardrobe changes
  • web-access to the best shots from your session
  • 3 touch-ups in web resolution (perfect for online or digital frames)
  • A shoot styled to your comfort level with no pressure
  • Complete discretion and privacy assured!
As a bonus, you get a $50 printing credit. Choose a handful of 5x7s, a nice big print, or use it toward the cost of an album for your sweetie!

You are also welcome to bring someone with you to your shoot... a close friend, sister, anyone who will encourage you to bring out the best for your photos!

Additional services (make-up, hair, and so on) available at actual cost, or arrange your own!

Boudoir Ideas for Every Taste and Style

Over the past few days, I've been posting ideas for boudoir themed shoots in preparation for the big weekend coming up. I thought I'd share them here as well for those of you who aren't also following twitter. (Apologies for those who are!)
  • Bring white lingerie and white faux fur mittens, scarves, and hat. Great winter theme with white or blue make-up.

  • Bring his favourite work or play shirt (white collar, plaid, or sports jersey) and some black coloured undies.

  • If you're a bit shy, bring your favourite pjs, and a lacy bra. Great boudoir can hint at sexy by showing very little.

  • Add intrigue and mystery by using a fan or mask to hide most of your face. Shadows and dark make-up add allure too!

  • Bring your gym gear and work up the sexiness with a towel. Makes for a great locker room styled shot.

Or think of your own idea! We're open to all suggestions. Bring your favourite props and costumes. It's your turn to be a star!
