Response to David Hou's images of Kathryn

from David Hou (dan2367@hotmail.com)
Thanks Shawn, for putting the images up; though, I am also having problem seeing the other images.

In response to Tom's comment: never can be too terse, Tom. I asked Shawn to put them up because I want to learn more. So, go crazy, guys. I agree that the bottom left corner is distracting--I knew this when I printed it, but that's the way it was shot; so, tough. While I have been planning to do some more shoots with her, she's been really busy. I photographed her about 2 summers ago and then introduced her to Shawn who shot her last year. Subsequently, we were only able to squeeze in two more shoots since then because I think she is a bit overwhelmed by being photographed so much. So, the images Shawn has so kindly posted for me are whatever I can manage to get out of one of the shoots. I wish I have more to select from, but I really do not want to intrude with her schedule too much. If I do photograph her again, however, I will post them again for comparison.

Lastly, I should say that I also wanted to post these image because Shawn and I work very differently when photographing. Professionally, I am a theatrical photographer. I photograph mostly ballet, modern dances, and operas. So, I tend to leave my model alone, minimizing the interactions. I just watch and watch and watch and shoot. Shawn is very interactive with the model and shoots much faster than I do. I like his work for its spontaneity. I tend to go for the quieter look. I am interested in getting feedbacks regarding our different approaches.

Thanks again, all. Thanks again, Shawn. And, Tom, a cat didn't shoot these ones.
