So I took a few shots in this really awesome outfit the other day, and I'd love to do a whole photoset wearing it. The only problem is, I can't really think of an appropriate location for it. I was thinking a cemetery might work (I actually was on my way to a funeral when these were taken) but I'm not sure.
Can anyone give me any ideas on where to shoot this? Any other feedback is appreciated too. :)
(I also admit I just wanted to show off my awesome new 18" corset)
It may just be because the outfit reminds me of Edward Gorey, but I think you need to shoot near lines. Stairs, pillars, narrow hallways and art deco stuff.
The kinda stuff you would find in Hearst Castle or the Angel's Flight would be perfect, but I can't think of other locations that would actually be photo friendly.
And yes, the corset looks great on you.
Nice.
Some sort of luxurious mansion type area? I'm not familiar with Edward Gorey, but I think CPM's suggestion is spot on. Something out of white stone, preferably.
Oh I completely agree with you on that, I'm glad you suggested it, thanks! I also think columns would be a cool place to shoot around.Quote:

Raza.....not familiar with edward gorey? ok thenhttp://www.phobos-deimos.com/Edward_Gorey/Gashlycrumb_Tinies/Pages/gashlycrumb_tinies%201.htm
I like that cameo necklace..........as for picture locations.....that could look good in the right hotel lobby...if any of the old classy ones still exist
I enjoyed the poetry and overall theme, but the visuals were a tad on the tame side. Somebody ought to do a guro remake, sometime.
If the photoset is going to be a non-nude one, I'd say try a crowd of "normal" looking people, with you standing out, or if you can find a Victorian looking building or an old train station/wild west themed place, maybe do a Steampunk set... A cemetry would be cool, but it has been done so many times, it's becoming cliched. If you could find an old looking park area, that might work... Or a visit to the beach, with you hiding under the parasol...
personally, i get a jazz funeral procession - like down south near new orleans - type vibe from these shots. especially with that parasol/umbrella. may be near impossible to stage one, depending on your area.
