Thread: My First Set

Tweet

This is our first set. I didn't take the photos. They where taken by some very talented professional photographers and the cavegirl is a professional model... but we made the set. It is not very Halloween but the set I will start to work on this week will be a photography set based on a Grave Digger/Grave Robber.

I fix the images above so this post can be removed... Sorry.

Can't wait to see the grave robber.

That set it awesome. I can only see the first pic too. I really want to see the grave one.

wow! very cool!

I'm only seeing the first pic for some reason. Looks terrific. Also looking forward to the grave digger set. Do you do this for some store or what? Neat job to have.

Excellent!!

The cat is fabricated from sheets of foam, carved, then covered with faux fur. I didn't do enough of it to take any real credit but someone here did most of the work.

We did it for our own store.

We had a photography event the last couple weekends. I'm not a photographer and most pictures look like snap shots at best. So we hired a model (we got very lucky with a model who worked with a couple of guys who knew nothing about the industry) and invited photographers to come in and take pictures.

If you check Graig's List you will find a lot of models and photographers looking to do TFCD (Trade for C.D.) or TFP (Trade for Photo). Once and a while you can find a make-up person wanting to trade services in order to add new photo to their portfolio. If someone can pull it all together they can have professional photographer take photos of your haunts without spending money.

The photos I posted came from two of the 15 photographers who took photos of the set.

The next set will require putting skin on my skeleton and knew I would find the answer there.
