Readers, the photo shoot of my new madras and linen togs is finished!
To see it live over at the Mood Sewing Network, click here. I do hope you like them.
Re the photo shoot, Michael was feeling under the weather yesterday, so I had to take all the shots myself. Even in a city like New York, this turns heads (and feels mildly embarrassing). Do you ever take your own outdoor photos?
Have a great day, everybody!
It IS hard to take your own outdoor photos without embarrassment! Lately I've tried asking tourist couples to take my photo - in exchange for which I then take theirs together, so that not all their travel photos show them one at a time. I've tried it twice and it's worked well, with the bonus of lots of gratitude from the tourists :)
ReplyDeleteHeading over to the Mood site now...
Great idea, Gabrielle, only I require HUNDREDS of photos and that's a lot to ask of anonymous tourists! ;)
DeleteLOVE your outfits-- seriously killer! I never take my own photos outside, mainly because I have an irrational fear of someone swiping the camera and tripod while I'm still vamping for the camera.
ReplyDeleteHaha I have the same fear, and thought maybe I was a bit weird... But I desperately need a tripod so that I don't depend on someone else for taking pics... Really need to work on that!
DeleteMy tripod came free with some camera I bought years ago -- it's a POS but it works! The camera isn't big, new, or flashy, so I don't think it would attract a lot of attention. Still, you never know....
DeleteYou look fantastic Peter! Willie wants a photo shoot.
ReplyDeletePeter,
ReplyDeleteThe garments came out stunning! I muss say I was surprised how nice the Madras total look works!
These pics are great for being a one-man show. Do you use a timer or a remote shutter?
ReplyDeleteA timer. It blinks a flashing light (which you can see from a great distance) and then takes up to 10 pics at a time -- very handy! Canon S90 a few years old.
DeleteYour skill, talent, and creative eye continue to amaze me.
ReplyDeleteFun.
ReplyDeleteGreat job Peter! Coney Island-pfft! You're ready for a day out at the Cape (or a Halston shoot!) Seriously, thank you for sharing with us, your projects ALWAYS spur me on to better my own meager sewing skills-hugs!
ReplyDeletelove how all these pieces work together interchangeably. great stuff!
ReplyDeleteYou mentioned awhile back that you didn't have clothing that went together. Now you do. A wonderful wardrobe in the making Peter! I love all of the pieces and the shirt is wonderful with your white linen pants. Enjoy the summer
ReplyDeleteI really disliked taking pictures outside when I was still in NY for that reason. I attracted way too much attention even with my boyfriend taking them so I never had the courage to take the tripod outside! I love that I have a balcony now and that I can spend hours making a fool of myself PRIVATELY ! I love the shirt!
ReplyDeleteOne of your best ever!
ReplyDeletei had no ida michael was your in house 9on street?) photographer. would that i could strongarm ruggy into it... usually it's just me & my below street level building alleyway. waaaaaaay too many peeps above ground.
ReplyDeleteas in, ida mae? i don't know.
ReplyDeleteYou look ready for summer.
ReplyDeleteI do take pictures of myself outside but I live out on the backwoods so I have my own nice, private locations for self photography. My pictures never look as good as yours though. I always end up having some kind of goofy expression on my face.
Kudos for the self-portraits. You carry off the preppy admirably.
ReplyDeletePeter! You look like a million! and you look so hot in the sunglasses' portrait! xoxo, Carina
