I'd be up to give it a try at converting/exporting if you want to send a total stranger your artwork 😂
I'm just doing color edits on a photoshoot anyway so I've got Lightroom/Photoshop/dark table all open right now anyway?

You're definitely looking for a web safe sRGB (if that's not a listed option, try rec.709 for gamma AND color space, though you probably only get one option).
And you have to *convert* it to the profile not assign it.
I've had this problem before, it's beyond infuriating!!!! Good luck

Just in front, then just behind. Do this one at a time to get a feel for your lights and build up from one light to two (and upwards of seven!!! 😩😇)

Soft boxes, especially with a grid to control spill are great. I hate umbrellas cause they have weird hot spots and just throw light everyfuckinwhere so they're really bad for control. Get a model (or a mannequin, or Teddy Bear!) to play around. Point the light directly, then 1/

Mmmmm I absolutely love expired film!!! Probably cause I learned in the darkroom but then worked in digital so analog distortion was always fun and never a struggle 🤣🤣. When I worked in a photo lab I had so much fun with fucking around with chemicals and negatives! (Or cross processing slide film!)

Honestly, a great way to skip the light meter when shooting film is to use a DSLR for a pre-exposure. I mean, they USED do that with polaroids on those 8x10 / 4x5 cameras, but I don't have that stuff so when I'm having fun with my Holga I'll get it set up digitally before making the leap with film

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn that'd be such a fun (and expensive!!!) way to shoot! Love that second one with the bone-dogs in black so much ❤️‍🔥

Brunch is served with copious amounts of buttersauce at this studio!!

8x10 negatives? 🥵🤤🥵 Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn that sounds fun! I only ever got to work with a 4x5 in art school (still have wet dreams about those 20x24 prototype polaroid cameras, too! Oh what a dream that would be)

Awwwww thank you🥰🥰 I'm an absolute freak about me light. I show up to shoots with WAY too much gear like every damn time

All I'm hoping for is that they Eiffel tower him hard 🤤, preferably in a two page spread

Oh I'm way too broke for any commissions (that and I'm 1/100 of the way through my journey of making my own fursuit!)

But basically the idea is a deer fursuit with antlers that can be ripped off and they make very loud Velcro ripping sounds 🥵

So simple and still so effective, you know... As a narrative device
