I am posting this here because everyone who posts/reads the Arts and Crafts subforum knows that nobody actually ever goes into the A&C subforum. I actually would like participation, so it's going here.
I need your guys' help! I am sick of doing self portraits, so I would like to know if anyone would be willing to help me out by photographing themselves in poses I need. I'm looking to do a series of portraits and the more people who help me out, the better! In return, I'll post photos of my work and maybe even send you one of the sketches I do before I do the finished painting/drawing. If you're interested, see the theme and rules below.
Theme:
I have a ton of square canvases I'd like to use up, so right now I'm looking for poses that look like a person is trapped in a box and trying to break out of it. Look cramped, contort your body a little bit, and look like you're in pain or uncomfortable. You don't have to do this in an actual box (I'd rather you didn't), since what I'm really after is how the body is shaped not how the light is, etc. Be creative with your posing! Make weird facial expressions, put yourself in odd shapes, etc. (Also, once I move on from this, I may update the theme if you're interested!)
Rules:
1. Please do not wear overly baggy clothing, but also do not post photos of you in the buff. The latter because 1. I'm pretty sure it's against the rules and 2. I don't want to see you naked! If you want to do this in your skivvies, PM me first about it and we'll discuss it. I do not want anyone being creeped out or to get in trouble for doing this. If you're not sure about whether or not a photo is kosher, post or PM a link.
2. Do not make your photos tiny. If possible, don't resize it and just post a link to save on bandwidth. If you really want to post a photo, post a photo of appropriate size and link to a larger image.
So. Anyone want to help a lady out?
