Probably Not Home Alone 2

“Home Alone” was followed by “Home Alone 2.” Since my last post was a play off of that movie and I wanted to post the same beautiful woman again, I’d be just as…uh…”creative” with my title.

Look at the original image, and you’ll see I did quite a lot of work, including “moving” her to the side to align the image more with “the rule of thirds,” plus a few other adjustments and painting in some areas of the skin to get better tonality and control of highlights.

What I’m really working towards learning is the sort of full-scale “digital painting” that MichaelO does.

I suspect, though, that I’m not going to live long enough for that.

This ain’t Macaulay Culkin we’re talkin’ ’bout here; this is Kaulin. Take a look and I’m sure you’ll agree: if she’s Home Alone, it’s by choice and it’s everyone’s disappointment.

I’ve never had a model before who needed almost no direction from me to strike a good pose. The flash went off — *poof!* — new pose. The flash went off again — *poof!* — another new pose. Like shooting models in a barrel. Only as you can see, there’s no barrel surrounding this gal.

Ruby Mohawk

She calls herself “Ruby Tuesday.” I have no idea why, but she’s good enough to look at that I don’t care. She’s too young, I think, to really be into the Rolling Stones, or to know about the actress who starred in the movie about the all-female motorcycle gang called The Man-Eaters. But maybe not. From what little I know of her so far, she seems to be fairly intelligent and willing to wander off the beaten track, as the image here shows. Still, I have serious doubts that she’s into racing motorcycles and following it up with a wild orgy back at the clubhouse.

At our last shoot, she came in with what can only be described as “interesting” hair. (And I mean that: I found her hair interesting; I liked it.) We shot several images of her with the hair both up and down, including a few with her red guitar.

My favorite is this one, however, deliberately shot against a bright white background to play up the white stripes in her swimsuit, while the red stripes help the lipstick to stand out. I thought about altering the hair color in post-processing to match up with the red and white theme, but I figured she came in with blue hair for a reason.
