My first photo-shoot

I'm very geeked, the pics from the photo shoot with my friend Breanna came back. It's my first experience modeling for a real photographer who will actually use the pieces in her art.

This one's my favorite, and is definitely my new profile shot:






I'm told that if the subject actually likes 1 in 10 pics from a photo shoot then its a resounding success. That makes this session much better than average. What kills me is that a year ago I would have begged her to delete this because it didn't hide every curve and find that perfect angle that made me look like Angelina Jolie. Is there even such an angle? Who cares? I look damn good in trickster colors. :-)


The best part of posing for her is that she has a great eye for color, and she's a fellow fattie so she knows when I'll be unhappy with a particular shot.
I can't wait for summer so we can do some outdoor sessions.

    Holy crapshit that person is a douche.

    You have the most amazing hair and skin I've seen in a good long while. It's very uplifting to see such beautiful art. Maybe see about a guest submission to Adipositivity?

    Having the confidence to do this is great for yourself, but it also helps other people with their confidence.

    Thank you for sharing this!

    Looks great - the shot you're using in the profile is awesome! Your confidence is very obvious in the photos. Wish I was as far along with the body acceptance, but Cassandra is right - it helps all of us who aren't there yet.

    You looked Damn hot in a lot of them pictures. Even the ones you didn't like. And I'm very honored that you linked to my art site. That's very nice of you! I have to do some more edit on that photo yet. I want to put you on a different background. If I'm feeling up to it after my appointment today. I'll work on that for you so you can put it up with a better background. And I wanted to say thanks for the help. You where a good model and I need all the practice I can get..

All comments may be moderated. If you think you're entitled to free speech, you are, on your own blog. This is my blog. I have opinions that are often subjective, and as I'm not running a documentary or research organization, there's nothing wrong with a little subjectivity. I also have the right to not approve or delete comments I find mean-spirited, idiotic or encouraging what I consider objectional, dangerous, or plain stupid practices (such as weight loss or cosmetic surgery, changing your body to please others (i.e. "dieting"), spreading hate, etc.). If you voice disagreement with anything I say, and you do it in an intelligent matter with clear research citations to your claims and conclusions (popular media articles don't count) I will probably allow the comment. I will also probably debate you and try to refute your claims. If at any time that devolves into stupidity or attack, I will start deleting your comments. If you disagree with what I say by spouting pseudoscientific popular opinion, displaying prejudice or hate, or otherwise acting like an ass-hat, I will delete your comment. That's pretty much the policy, subject to change without notice :-)
