“Don’t move,” Jesse stresses.

You pause immediately, dutifully holding your position despite the pout on your lips. The bed below you gives with your weight, what’s definitely memory foam cradling your body nicely. It certainly makes all the ways your impromptu photographer has had you twist and turn (and the multiple outfit changes) more comfortable.

In addition to the smooth feel of the clearly newly bought sheets. The first time you’d visited they, much like the rest of Jesse’s proverbial mansion, had been a pristine black. Now they were no less pristine but white sheets because J had wanted the camera to pick you up well.

You had been glancing at where he was standing over you, mouth fixing to question him about when in the hell he’d had the time to accumulate all this lingerie in your size - you were a big girl, finding anything that fit this well should’ve been impossible without you there and probably a custom tailor - when he’d gestured for you to freeze.

The moment Jesse captures is of wide brown eyes staring up at him, your lips naturally pursed, you laid on your stomach with your feet kicked up behind you, and one hand supporting your head while the other rests on the bed beside it.

A solid pose in your opinion.

After meeting online you’ve known Jesse for a little less than a year now, but this was by far the most intense you’ve seen him. Which, in retrospect, was only slightly less intense than his usual. It would seem he took photography more seriously than you’d initially pegged.

You were no connoisseur but the camera in his hands alone (not to mention the rest of Jesse’s place, his car, his other car, and his lateral army of employees) looked like it could pay off all your student loans. There’s a just as expensive looking video camera mounted on his shoulder too, held in place by a harness that has zero business looking that good on him.

It hasn’t been turned on yet, though, so you refrain from directing your attention to it.

Jesse makes you hold the pose for a few more seconds before instructing you to change positions. The smooth fabric of the short black slip dress - the fifth outfit of the night - feels lovely against your skin when you roll onto your back and look at him through your lashes

There’s another series of rapid fire flashes. His camera captures and highlights the deep brown of your skin in bursts.

He doesn’t have you staying still for long though, this time taking only a minute or so before he drops the lens from your form.

“You can relax,” he signs, clicking through the photos of you on the LCD screen.

“Mmm, you gonna tell me where you got all this stuff now?”

Jesse doesn’t answer right away, grinning at the screen before glancing at you with his eyes and a raised brow.

His head follows a beat later, the grin taking on a sharper edge when he sees your tilted head.

Jesse sets the camera aside before propping a leg up so he can kneel on the bed. He starts to feel you up, eager hands sliding over your body, and your breath catches in your throat. He squeezes appreciatively at your soft sides and curves and you can’t not shiver at the touch.

You sigh, body buzzing pleasantly at the attention.

“J…?”

A light pat to your thigh. ‘Just wait,’ it conveys to you.

You nod easily, another sigh falling past your lips, before giving in and mouthing at the shape of his cock in his pants. He grinds into you once, breath catching, before letting up.

He gets back on his feet before cupping a big hand under your chin and forcing you to parse out what he’s telling you upside down.

“You- you want do…?” you trail off as you take the time to translate to spoken English before you nod, a little caught off guard.

“You’ve been wanting to do this since we got serious?”

Jesse nods once before letting go and urging you upwards. It takes you a second to shift to sit crisscross, resting your hands in your lap, during which he moves back onto his feet.

He’d relayed his height when you were texting but seeing him over video call hadn’t done his sheer presence justice. Looking up at him like this has you feeling short of breath.

“J, we only met in person like, a month ago. Not that you don’t have hella money but-” you give him an exaggerated raised brow to cap off your sentence and watch as he scoffs.

“We got serious long before we physically met.”

You shrug, humming decisively. “Alright, I’ll give you that one. Do you usually have photo shoots with the people you like then?”

He shakes his head and moves to grasp your chin once more. Sighing one handed at you.

“No. I don’t like many people.”

You smile at that and he leans down to kiss you.

You’d of course known about his disfigurement before meeting him for dinner the first time. He’d sent you pictures, same as you did, and it’d been Jesse who helped you brush up on your high school ASL in the first place. In person it had looked even more painful though and had firmly cemented in your mind that his ass was rich as fuck if his face looked as good as it did after the accident he’d eventually described to you.

Point was, kissing Jesse was definitely an adjustment compared to the other people you’d kissed. With Jesse it was more of a press of lips than anything, but the man definitely liked to bite. Something you were curiously delighted to find out during your first night together.

Jesse pulls back from you and you can’t help but stare after him, wide eyed and out of breath. He smirks and reaches up to his shoulder.

The camera makes a brief high pitched shriek as it’s activated, followed by a red light blinking to life at the corner of the black box.

“Ready, Gorgeous?”

He holds his hand out for you, beckoning. You make a low noise of confirmation then crawl forward on your knees to rest your chin on his palm.

His fingers curl, squeezing your cheeks for a few beats and angling your head slightly upwards before his grasp relaxes.

“Smile for the camera.”

Jesse winks, thumb brushing over the corner of your mouth. You laugh and do as he directs, smiling straight at the lens.

“That’s right,” he runs the pad of his thumb over your bottom lip and you stick the tip of your tongue out, running it across where his fingerprint print once was. “Just like that. Such a good girl for me.”

At his signs you glance away, stomach flipping and mind going fuzzy.

The grin’s still on his face when he diverts your attention to the zip of his pants; guiding you a little closer. You hum in acknowledgement, starting to mouth at the fabric without hesitation. His hand drops from your chin.

You’d had a conversation about this in advance. Jesse talked you through it, boundaries were set. Naturally, your main concern had been his size. Taking him in you had taken a lot of prep and more than one day and you were still a little sore from his very thorough brand of fucking. What he could manage to do to your throat and jaw was a whole other story.

Jesse has you lick and suck at his suit pants until they’re soaked through and he’s semi erect underneath, hand on your head the whole time. He’s cool about it, barely showing any outward signs of pleasure beyond the upticked speed of his breathing.

The nonreactions make your heart pump faster, skin buzzing. You lap at his dick so hard you can taste the remnants of the detergent they were cleaned in, till you can just about feel the veins of his cock straining against your tongue, but when you glance up at him he only raises his eyebrows back.

It’s an easy look for you to read.

“That’s all?” is conveyed perfectly in the arches. You grunt unhappily. On impulse you move back in, snap onto his zipper, then rip it down with your teeth.

You grin when you look back up, teeth still barred, and feel his cock jump.

After that Jesse lets you get as far as sliding your tongue around the pant buckle and getting it free. Then the hand at your head becomes more demanding. From one blink to the next your neck’s at an incline, head thrown back as you’re forced to look up at him.

“Did I tell you to do that?”

His hand is steady but you’ve clearly gotten to him. The rise and fall of his shoulders is rough, his pupils dilated.

Your response is equally as ragged. The words blow out of you in between gasps for air as your eyes light up.

“No Sir.”

“You know what happens when you don’t wait.”

The hand in your hair tugs twice making your breaths stutter out of you. When you respond your voice jumps.

“Yeah I do, Sir.”

He smiles, teeth white as the sheets you’re resting on. They’re a stark contrast to the bruise blooming at the corner of his chin. Apparently he’d gotten into a scuffle during his last business trip. You’re not sure which fits with your view of him more, the sign of violence or the almost startling pure gleam of his teeth.

Another tug has those thoughts tumbling from your head, instead filling with Jesse. The scent of his expensive cologne, the metallic undertone he always carries with him, his hand trapped in your hair, and the way it all makes the air taste electric. How he makes you woozy.

Jesse doesn’t let go, only telling you to open your mouth before he uses his free hand to slowly shove down his pants enough to get his cock over the band of his boxers.

He briefly releases your head to pop you in your mouth and you gasp.

“I know you can open wider than that for me.”

Your mouth drops open till your lips ache and Jesse’s staring down your uvula. He nods his appreciation, hand burrowing once again into your thick curls. The width of it spans across the back of your head and you lean into it gratefully to take the strain off your neck.

From your peripherals you watch the impressive length of his cock bob in the air. Not even fully hard but even at this thickness you know it’d wreck your throat. You catch the glint of the platinum bar through his lorum and your mouth starts to fucking water thinking about him getting deep enough for it to press into the soft inside of your bottom lip.

Something shifts on Jesse’s face and his hand squeezes more demanding on you before he signs for you to poke your tongue out. The pink muscle lolls out of your mouth prior to him even finishing the entire sentence and he cuts himself off with an audible grunt. Not bothering to continue signing he smirks and then the tip of his cock bumps against the plush of your cheek.

You moan and sputter a little on the spit that’s gathered at the back of your throat. Jesse laughs then uses his thumb and forefinger to pull your mouth even wider and straightens your head so he can slide his dick past your lips.

It’s heavy on your tongue and when he takes away his fingers your lips barely move as you close them around his shaft. The push of his cock is unrelenting and the tip hitting the back of your throat has you gagging.

Jesse keeps you in place as you body spasms around the intrusion, fighting for a reprieve he won’t give you as he pushes even further down. He does you the favor of changing the angle of his cock, it doesn’t allow you much in terms of air but it does take the barrage of force off the more sensitive areas of your throat while you do your best to relax.

His head rolls back, grip getting tighter, and he trembles. You groan around his intrusion, watery eyes locking with his own when he looks back down and shoves deeper. Your bottom lip meets warm metal.

You know this is one of the only mercies he’s going to give you tonight and one look at his eyes, already dark and clouded over with lust, tells you to savor it.

NOTES: I leave another smut here, once again, for judgment. 🤷🏾‍♀️ Anyway, hope you enjoyed!

Also, I simply like penial piercings and I think if a man has the sheer amount of tattoos Jesse has it wouldn’t be a stretch of the imagination to think he’d have some neat ass piercings too. That’s all I’m saying. So this Jesse has his lorum pierced. Thank you.

Edit: I rewrote this so…yeah. I just felt like I could do a little better, yk?

In the land of the blind the naked man (or woman) is king (or queen) and when said residents are also repulsive and moronic as fuck, their disgusting and nasty ass worship of Renell Medrano is by far problematic and obnoxious. Renell is simply a shitty, ignorant and shady photographer who's been laundering money while hiding behind the facade of a phantom studio owner together wither her hideous goblin faced looking partner in crime, Jess Moloney. If you've been wondering where the hell did these bozos come out all of a sudden, then why don't you search them on this fucking site or on Google. Yeah, that's a good Y/N. You're in to find a wide variety of raving mad, totally demented & completely unhinged dug up on dirt on them. And all of this is real. All rumors are indeed real. Are you doubting your reality yet? If you aren't, you should. What are you waiting for then? The answer is wholly, fully, aggressively and vigourously staring in your face. Stop praising and worshiping worthless celebrities. Are you so into this kind of fucked up degradation? You'd be way better off drinking from a public restroom. Just quit dragging your feet on rusty, broken nails already!

Renell's shots are redundant. And boring at best. She's got zero technique. They look as if they were totally taken by someone else or someone else had dialed before the settings on her camera making it easy for her just so that she just needs to press a simple button.

Yet. Still. Renell. Won. The ICP Award. And she's sharing it with Moloney as if it was some rich old fuck's STD ridden deflated penis. Oh wait. Maybe that's how they got all that fame. Nothing new. Move along, nothing to see here.

Why is she always keen on showing her underwear in the least sexual contexts that could possiby exist?

I'm not MAGA, a centrist edge or some type of conservative. But why would you sexualize yourself for the male gaze so much?

Didn't she know in the United States it is estimated that around 70% of photographers are male and 30% are female? Didn't she know this imbalance is also reflected in the gender breakdown of photographers featured in galleries, exhibitions, and publications. Why is she sabotaging ongoing efforts to promote gender equality in the field of photography?

When was the last time a man dressed up like that to an award show or during a photo session?

ICP Awards screenshot by https://jess-moloney.tumblr.com/ or https://jmoloney1.tumblr.com

FUUUUUUUCK those hideous hoes. With their phantom photo studios and all their stinking threesome shit. Fake ass ghetto hoes. I've never ever read about Renell discussing in detail about all the high end pro photo gear she's supposed to have used during her A list celebrity photo shoots. In her interviews for famous magazines are totally she gives cookie cutter instagram influencer answers to questions only somebody who was paid to interview her would ask her. She did not tag any camera, lens, brand, lighting equipment in any of her photos. She never even managed to get a camera brand sponsorship deal. She never spoke about what kind of backdrops, tripods, stands, props, accesories, reflectors, diffusers, blah blah blah she has been using in any of the Ice Studios sketchy physical locations that look like some junkies' rat infested derelict gathering dens. ffs. Her knowledge about photography lingo, history and styles is equal to fucking zero. There's photos of Renell with some analog cameras ( vintage medium format Mamiya RZ67 / unknown lens, vintage full frame Canon AE-1 with its famous f/1.8 50 mm prime lens, an unknown camera – which might be digital – with a Carl Zeiss Planar prime lens mounted on it, and probably a vintage Rolleiflex ) & 1 Canon full frame DSLR (not mirrorless) with an unknown lens. And that's about it. I'm not even going to mention her piss poor point and shoot that she was holding while wearing thong pants.......

Jess' bozo beauty ad interview is faker than a cheap Tijuana whore's feelings. It's been already debunked & you just have to search for it on Tumblr and Youtube.

Renell's website is as lousy as the Lice, I mean the Ice Studios one. I don't know what the fuck that is, but that cannot be named a website. https://icestudios.shop/

It's infuriating how now this hypocritical bitch believes she's the illest shit in skincare regimens at the moment. When you have shit for brains and connections to various available erections you think everybody is falling for your shtick. Well guess what broke ass fake bitches? Y'all ain't gonna see what's coming and when it's gonna hit ya. When ya least expect it. I've had enough of you! All you've ever done will be de-fucking-bunked. Now go back to schmuck sucking. The next one that ya'll be feeling in the back of your throats will be the IRSchlong.

Nonetheless, their dumbass fans know that and are foaming at the mouth while banging their crap filled heads against shitloads of walls. Yet they still haven't been able to convince anyone otherwise. They have an obvious masochistic stupid wish of being proven wrong for the 100th time. Relenlessly. Poor delusional and empty brained halfwits. Yes, all this really is very stupid and tremendously dumb. But they should rest assured they're gonna have their asses kicked and will now be therefore permanently wrecked. It'd be better for them to stop screaming from their top of their lungs so much insane batshit stereotypical influencer crap. And listen to the ones who are indeed irrefutable authorities on this subject. Renell's fans make me throw up. They need a serious beating with an iron crowbar over their empty heads. How else are they going to wake up to reality then? How else will they stop bloody beating their minced up meat around a heavily thorned bush? The hands that feed her hide deadly and dangerous long, sharp claws.

Renell doesn't assume the slightest shit of responsability for what she is supposed to be doing. She's been thoroughly brainwashed to believe everybody is a mindless and unschooled hoodrat whose minuscule mind is less worthy than a recycled garbage bin. Guess what, bitch? With her opening the door to everything here and beyond, she should've been ready to expect the unexpected when they invited us in. Now we're flooding her worthless being with facts rabidly biting her face, chewing on her pieces & spitting them out. Poor Renell and Jess! Looks like their only option is letting us stay and brutally dismantle their convoluted but fickle web of lies. My advice for her is go whine and cry at another table! Her and Jess' work doesn't even amount to a shitstain, maybe they should've tried to get hired as prison garbage sorters. Go hide under a rock while you still can.

youtube

I've seen much more believable and intelligent triple x-rated casting videos than this shit.

No bitch, STFU, just because you're using a notoriously overpriced and overhyped gadget gimmick that got the worst reviews it could get (the Kodak Super8 flop) doesn't make you an intellectually and morally superior artsy fartsy 10/10 honest gram photographer or videographer influencer switch. Fuck, I hate switching swish swish bitches. Pull your head out of your ass already, wannabe fucker! You're one utterly sad incompetent mistress of fuckconnery. An impostor.

It's so vile and so offensive to think she is a high-profile photographer with craploads of top of the top A-list celebrity photo sessions as hallmarks of her portfolio. No photographer would ever dare say such unbelievably ridiculous shit. Ever!

“I always get a thrill [out] of showing new stuff on Instagram, or whatever social platform, just because I feel like the people that appreciate my work have been supporters since day one. I’m not scared to put out new work, I kind of get this high from it. If I don’t get that from a photo, then I’m doing something wrong.”

"So most of these photos were taken on this Canon A E1, um, that I stole from my dad in a yard sale when I was. like 12. Um, and it has a 50 millimeter lens on it. And I always shoot on portrait of 400 film by Kodak."

"Why," you might be asking yourself. 'Cause FUCK YOU! That's why! Fuck you, you brain rotting fanatics, you cangrenous tissue, necrotizing flesh, you mangled up cells . You'll forever be in debt to everyone right from toes till up your neck until you start explaining why you're selling fake and contrived dreams to young, naive and innocent people online, why you want them to munch on your butt while you're play pretending to be a manager, model, fashion designer, photographer, writer, therapist, why you're lying about your past and real abilities, why you're evading taxes, why you stole money from guillible individuals when they needed it most, why you gaslight and deceitfully manipulate your friends, why there's so much controversy around you, why your actions don't mach your words. Why you'll never tell the truth even if it were to lethally strangle you. Why having connections for better or for worse and bragging about them (as if she was the only one in the world with connections) to fuck knows who and what doesn't turn you into a no morals somebody from a nobody. Why you're covering for a bunch of nefarious repulsive death penalty worthy MOB asshats who deserve to be hammered, slammed, smashed and whacked, battered, pounded and pummeled to microscopic pieces untill not even the best coroner in the world can identify them by their contaminated DNA.

Even if they were to beg for attention crawling on the dirtiest carpet, even if they became the laughing stock of social media, even if they pleaded for forgiveness 24/7 7/7 28/28 29/29 30/30 31/31 365/365 366/366 till they kicked the bucket, what Jess, Renell and the others have done will not be erased from history.

Equal give and take my ass. STFU. Why are they even allowed to have a say in basically everything right now? They shouldn't. Nobody asked for their opinions. Nobody wants to hear them talk. Nobody gives two shits about them. Their ramblings are as useful as a torn apart leaking urinal. If I wanted to hear Renell and Jess talk I'd not waste my time in them, I'd go listen on Youtube how clogged toilets sound. But I don't. I'm not interested in hearing anything remorely similar to those two wet farts. I don't want to stoop at their level. They can go fuck themselves with a splinter full wooden toilet plunger. And then film their deed with the lousiest, fakest, pro camera Chinese counterfeit knock off.

youtube

Just because she's holding some random ass cameras doesn't fucking mean she knows anything about photography. Who the fuck holds their cameras in such a careless way as if they were a cheap model who were told to play pretend they're this greatly awewome celebrity photographer? A camera should be firmly held while tightly strapped so it doesn't fall on the fucking ground and makes a mess out of itself while permanently damaging the sensor, its lens + its external flash. Most cameras do weigh a lot, so why would she be dangling it around like a pair of thongs?

She admitted she's doing for the gram. And doesn't know how to tell the difference between niche photography and her pseudo commercial and editorial bullshit. What is so special about her that celebrities flock like silly, stupid geese to her in order to have their photo taken with this thing when other photographers in the game spend thousands of dollars on their gear?

They're roughly 150-200 bucks per piece(camera + lens). Dirt cheap. About the same price a celebrity pays for their designer underwear.

The estimate for a comprehensive professional camera setup in a situation like this ranges from $10,000 to $30,000 or more. Additional expenses could raise the total cost to $50,000 or more.

Who the heck even post-processes her photos? Oh wait, it's the infamous non-existent legally dubious Ice Studios. She'd have been more credible if she at least wore that "I shoot RAW" tshirt all wannabe photographers wear to impress people left and right lol. And to think she's never been seen wearing her shop's clothes.....

Compare how scam photographer Renell is carelessly holding her expensive gear vs how real photographers actually do it.

Who the fuck gets paid to shoot spoiled ass rich clients without having a legally registered business? Why exactly her? Who' been paying for her to be featured in magazine interviews? What makes her so frikkin' special than the tons of others so similar to her? How did she earn all that fame and appreciation? Who the fuck even allowed Renell to speak when she's doing nothing but excellenting at wasting precious seconds away from the listeners' attention span. Who the fuck uses such a small bag for carrying around their camera when a decent looking photographer's bag must contain at least 3 or 4 of the following: additional batteries & charger, additional bodies and lenses & straps and harnesses, lens caps, lens hoods, lens filters, lens pouches, external flash or speedlight, portable ssd drive, portable light source, protective waterproof cover, remote shutter release, additional sd cards, ultrabook, lens cleaning kits or wipes. She and Jess are pretending to do whatever they're clearly failing to pretend at. Fucking lousy decrepit wankers.

No serious photographer crams any of the following in such a way their bag is indististinguishable from a sack of potatoes.

I can't believe their work is so terribly uninteresting and so unoriginal. If it hadn't been for their. They need to be thrown ASAP in a huge giant shipping container with this label on it:"Don't open till Rapture comes. Destination: Timbuktu or bust." The earlier, the better. Do they expect people won't take a harsh stand against this incredibly scheming waste of time duo? Do they think they can go on and on living their miserable life with their series of snake oil salesmen tactics? Do they think nobody's going to take a stand and put an end to their con?

And what about Jamie Campbell Bower's role in this? Is he a voluntary participant in this fraud or is he being coerced?

They who dig a pit will fall into it.

Frank, is photography the same as drawing and painting?

Answer: No. (Sorry, this is gonna take forever.)

Why?

Well, for one thing -- I'm using the term "drawing" here very broadly, but basically any kind of "drawing" is just the act of making a "line" between two points. A "line" is a series of infinitely tiny points. Every point on a "line" is an infinitely tiny distance from the two points at the beginning and the end of the "line."

Between any two points, there's an infinite number of lines you could draw. Every line you draw is a line you could have drawn, and vice versa. But when you add up an infinite number of things together, you get a big thing that looks infinite itself -- which is how you get the infinite series of points in "drawing" a "line."

I'm just making these things up, but it's like if you had a really long bar and you put some dots on it, and they were just far enough apart to make the bar look continuous, but not close enough to look like individual dots. These two things -- a continuous bar and a set of dots -- are just the same thing, "unpacked," or "flattened" by being infinitely long. "Draw a line" just means "flatten the bar" -- it is an infinitely long operation.

Okay, now let's go to "painting." First of all, I'm going to be using the term "paint" very broadly, but basically any kind of "paint" is made up of little chunks of color -- if you've ever seen a light-emitting diode, you've seen a little chunk of paint.

Between any two adjacent chunks of color, there's an infinite number of combinations of colors you could mix. Every combination of colors you mix with a paintbrush, you could have separately mixed with your paint. And the same goes for every picture you make with a paintbrush.

Which means that any given picture you make is, like the bar above, a flattening of a more complicated thing. The more complicated thing is a giant, infinite series of distinct "paintings" -- that's what you're looking at. But just like "drawing a line," "mixing a color" is an infinitely long operation.

Now, move on to "photography." First of all, I'm going to assume that the images taken by a digital camera are represented by an infinite amount of ones and zeroes. This is true, but I'm going to ignore the infinite details of what those ones and zeroes actually mean -- if you want to know, Wikipedia has a pretty good article.

A photograph, then, is an infinitely long operation that looks a lot like "drawing a line" -- it is an infinitely long operation that adds up an infinite set of infinite sets of ones and zeroes. Since it's infinitely long, it looks sort of like it has a bunch of detail. Since it's got an infinite set of infinite sets of ones and zeroes, it looks like it has a bunch of detail, too.

If you take an infinitely long bar, and then flatten it, you get, well, a bar. "Flattening a bar" is an infinitely long operation -- it is the process of adding up an infinite series of infinitely long operations. So there's no detail in it.

A bar is different from "drawing a line," because, between two points on a "line," you have to get all the tiny points. The only thing you have to get with a bar is the width of the bar -- you don't have to reconstruct all those little pieces of the bar. You don't have to get the point of the bar between the two ends -- you just have to get the distances between the points. (Or something like that -- I'm definitely not an expert on any of this, it's just stuff I'm making up.)

Anyway, a photograph is kind of like flat, "ultra-simple" bar, in the sense that it doesn't have the same detail as "drawing a line." Likewise, because a photograph adds up an infinite set of infinite sets, it has infinite (flattened) amounts of any property of the image you want to talk about -- you can talk about the meaning of the photo in terms of infinite interpretations of it.

Artist's Statement

Juan Medrano, 2023

Before taking Photography, I had no ownership to a camera. When I got one for Photography 1, I was fairly new and inexperienced to taking photos. The first set of photography that I took during the first couple weeks within the course was not my very best, I was barely beginning to learn how to use a digital camera. My photography was blurry, not in focus, and I needed to learn how to adjust the different types of settings on a camera, such as shutter speed and aperture. I also needed to adjust the focal lens so that the photos would become somewhat in focus.

As class went on, although my hands had been very shaky as well, I managed to photograph some images that were clear. I had practice with the egg shoot, and I managed to take my images of the egg in focus while also trying to show the egg’s texture. I had practice with lighting during the entire semester, and, as of now, I am curious how different photos would be in different sets of lighting. Lighting can really change a photo, such as how I took a portrait of a classmate in the dark room under the red light. These photographs also create interesting and unique shadows, so I continuously wanted to cast shadows of subjects in different manners as well as textures on objects.

I learned that, to be good at something, I have to try harder, keep pushing myself and continue practicing. I started with zero skills, learned skills along the way, and I will continue to learn skills as I continue on. The more I practice, the better I will get at photography. As I experimented more with my photography, I started creating some interesting images. I believe photography is a necessity for majoring in graphic design, and I will be less likely to forget it.

Photo

When I had a full spectrum modification done to an old camera I ordered two filters with it. I got the 830 nanometer filter which is pure infrared (the visible light part of the electromagnetic spectrum ends somewhere in the mid 700 nanometer range). This is the filter I’ve used for the black and white infrared images I’ve been posting recently. I also ordered a 590nm filter. This filter blocks some of the yellows and everything lower in the spectrum (no blues, greens, purples, etc). It allows some yellows, oranges and reds along with the full infrared part of the spectrum. This facilitates the creation of some rather surreal artistic “false color” imagery. It also requires a fair bit more on the post production side of things and therefore has a longer learning curve than the pure IR black and white which is fairly straight forward. I’ve been playing with it some and this is the first image I find worthy of sharing here. By swapping the red and blue channels in post production, along with a few other techniques you can bring back blue to the sky (even though absolutely zero blue color was captured in camera). Greens end up ranging from yellow to almost white adding a bit of warmth to the overall look. I grabbed this image of an almond orchard alongside I-5 in the vicinity of Artois California while on a mission a couple days ago as I was between rain squalls and there was some real sunlight (extremely helpful in infrared photography) It won’t be the “cup of tea” of photographic purists but I’ve never considered myself one of those and I’m pleased with the overall look (at least for a relative "noob" like myself).

Correlating Astrology , with Astronomy and Quantum mechanics.

There are many arguments about the relevance of astrology in the modern world so I'd like to present you with some resources so that you can find relevance.

P.S. : I am just a novice , so feel free to correct my mistakes.

Light emission in humans

So first of all I would like to tell you about a research done by scientists in Japan , they chose 5 healthy male volunteers for the examination of the presence of photon , they installed photon sensitive camaras . A photon is a sub - atomic particle of an atom or a particle representing a quantum of light or other electromagnetic radiation. A photon carries energy proportional to the radiation frequency but has zero rest mass.

They were asked to be bare chested for this in completely darkened rooms for 20 minutes every three hours from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. for three days.The researchers found the body glow rose and fell over the day, with its lowest point at 10 a.m. and its peak at 4 p.m., dropping gradually after that.The face glowed more than the body due to the presence of more melanin , which has fluorescent components , they have linked this phenomenon to the rhythms of the body . The body image was captured with a camara that detected heat , the emissions were infrared and the images were thermal . We cannot normally see it because these are 1000 less sensitive than our visual capabilities .

Aura's : an aura or human energy field is a colored emanation said to enclose a human body or any animal or object .

Aura photography : an object on a photographic plate is connected to a high-voltage source, an image is produced on the photographic plate.

This proves the presence of light emission from our human body.

Planets do not emit their own light , they rather reflect the rays of the sun , true emission of lights are produced as a result of nuclear fusion , which creates radiation and makes stars glow .

Young's double slit experiment

This experiment belongs to a general class of "double path" experiments, in which a wave is split into two separate waves that later combine into a single wave. Changes in the path-lengths of both waves result in a phase shift, creating an interference pattern. Another version is the Mach–Zehnder interferometer, which splits the beam with a beam splitter.

In the basic version of this experiment, a coherent light source, such as a laser beam, illuminates a plate pierced by two parallel slits, and the light passing through the slits is observed on a screen behind the plate. The wave nature of light causes the light waves passing through the two slits to interfere, producing bright and dark bands on the screen – a result that would not be expected if light consisted of classical particles. However, the light is always found to be absorbed at the screen at discrete points, as individual particles (not waves); the interference pattern appears via the varying density of these particle hits on the screen. Furthermore, versions of the experiment that include detectors at the slits find that each detected photon passes through one slit (as would a classical particle), and not through both slits (as would a wave).

Image of light as a Particle as well as a wave .

A research team led by Fabrizio Carbone at EPFL has now carried out an experiment with a clever twist: using electrons to image light. The researchers have captured, for the first time ever, a single snapshot of light behaving simultaneously as both a wave and a stream of particles.

The experiment is set up like this: A pulse of laser light is fired at a tiny metallic nanowire. The laser adds energy to the charged particles in the nanowire, causing them to vibrate. Light travels along this tiny wire in two possible directions, like cars on a highway. When waves traveling in opposite directions meet each other they form a new wave that looks like it is standing in place. Here, this standing wave becomes the source of light for the experiment, radiating around the nanowire.

While this phenomenon shows the wave-like nature of light, it simultaneously demonstrates its particle aspect as well . The scientists shot a stream of electrons close to the nanowire, using them to image the standing wave of light. As the electrons interacted with the confined light on the nanowire, they either sped up or slowed down. Using the ultrafast microscope to image the position where this change in speed occurred, Carbone's team could now visualize the standing wave, which acts as a fingerprint of the wave-nature of light.

Wave and wave interaction :

Two wave paddles, generating waves of different frequencies and directions, are placed in two corners along one side of a tank of constant water depth. The resulting waves create a diamond pattern of crests and troughs, which has its own wave length, speed, and direction. This diamond pattern would interact with a third-wave component, if this third wave had the same wave length, speed, and direction as the diamond pattern.

The reflective waves of planets and our body emissions interact in a way of wave wave interaction and thus influence our lives, now the thing about wonder is that , why don't we have an influence on them , well we do but in a very negligible amount , this can be explained with the help of the third law of Newtonian physics , " Every action has an equal and opposite reaction " , this statement is actually incomplete , the original statement goes "To every Action there is always an equal Reaction: or the mutual actions of two bodies upon each other are always equal, and directed to contrary parts" .

For example , an elephant is trying to push you , but you are also pushing the elephant but obviously the elephant will overpower you because the elephant has more matter in its body than you , but that doesn't mean your efforts are in vain , they are just negligible enough to be overlooked , in the same way , when our auric fields , interact with the radiation of planets , the planets influence us more than we influence them .

You can visualise wave -wave interaction through these images :

Planets

But if the same planets influence us why aren't we all the same? That's because during different period of the cycle of earth rotation their are different planets reflecting more than the other.

When you are born , the time , date and geographical location effects us , this leads to the formation of the innermost core our true self , but does that mean we can never change our circumstances ?

Our planet and all the planets orbit the Sun in a plane, and the entire plane moves in an elliptical orbit through the galaxy. Since every star in the galaxy also moves in an ellipse, we see ourselves appear to pass in-and-out of the galactic plane periodically, on timescales of tens of millions of years, while it takes around 200-250 million years to complete one orbit around the Milky Way. The other cosmic motions all contribute, too: the Milky Way within the Local Group, the Local Group in our Supercluster, and all of it with respect to the rest-frame of the Universe.The Solar System isn’t a vortex, but rather the sum of all our great cosmic motions.

A traditional birth chart shows where the sun, moon, and planets were on the Wheel of the Zodiac at the moment you were born. It can offer an astrological explanation for your communication style, how you process emotions, who you're attracted to, and more — think of it like a snapshot of your personalityFor example, it's believed that the sun moves one degree forward on the Wheel of the Zodiac for every year after your birthday. And every sign occupies 30 degrees of the Wheel, so, by the time you hit your 30s, if not earlier, the sun could very well have moved onto the next sign on your progressed chart. By comparison, the moon will move on from your natal moon sign much sooner, as it changes signs about every three years in a progressed chart. This can also relate to the d9 charts .

Feel free to add up your points or theories .

Thank you for reading 🤍

Have a great day/night 💫.

A night in Lille is my most recent night photography project.

With zero planning time, last week I took the train from London to Lille. One night opportunity only!

Walked around the old town during the day taking photos trying to personalise what other photographers would be shooting at!

I felt uncomfortable most of the day, kinda lost on why, how and what I was doing - it was raining all day too and they don’t like any English talking, specially to choose meals :(

Anyway, I took a breather and a glass of wine while the city was changing for the night fall!

That was it. No tripod, no flash but the most amazing mechanical camera and a roll of Kodak 3200!

It felt so good, I was laughing while shooting those magnificent buildings that got way more interesting with their strategic lights on.

I had one of those amazing magical moments where you trust more on your head than your light metre.

Next day back to London and straight to the darkroom.

Rodinal and much patience to get to see the results.

The printing process was a delight! So dark, so contrasty and grainy.

I simply love it.

Oh… I got to shot a gig too! In the middle of the crowed, crazy lights and again: no tripod for long exposure but hey, that mystery air is on! I’ll post it soon

See [PODCAST] link in bio: With friend of the program, aka the ever-talented and effervescent, @bossuponem: A hustling business person, a working performance artist — and a compassionate community leader. Above all, Leila is a producer of vital creative energy. And being that she’s a former freestyle skier, it’s apt that Leila approaches the creative process with zero fear. Leila’s recent show, Sapovnela, with her grandfather and renowned photographer / artist, Alden Spilman, presented abstract photographic prints and experimental video forming a conversation around the reflection and absorption of light and color — as well abstraction in photography and film. Sapovnela opened at the @11newelgallery in Greenpoint, Brooklyn on May 6. The Newel Gallery is located at 11 Newel, East Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

Week 5 | SDL (Part 2)

Final Formative Photo & Editing Choices These are the 15 photos that I ended up choosing for my formative assignment after editing! Image 9 - Taking The Spotlight: This photograph uses a visible light source in the frame. I used this light source not only as a framing device for the subject but also as the idea of a Halo & a Spotlight. I wanted to shoot from below to create this powerful almost heavenly-like effect over the subject with this large beam of light coming in behind her. This photo was inspired by the intimacy of the moment and the appreciation of the modelling. The name reflects this idea. Image 10 - Power Over The People: This photograph was inspired by lots of early 1900s war propaganda with the composition, angle, and lighting. I wanted to create a powerful photo that frames the subject to be larger than the lens so we are looking up at her. The lighting wraps around the side of her from behind with these streaks of light that force focus towards the center. For the lighting on the face itself, I wanted to create a slightly threatening feel so I cast a shadow on the right with highlights on our left. Angling the subject to make the shadows more prominent, it created the desired effect. The edit upped the contrast and shadows to make the idea of power more prominent. Image 11 - When You're The Sun: This photograph was taken of my Nana. This was inspired by historic Ancestral photography. I used a single torch light to illuminate the face and created a very dim background which I added to in Lightroom with a stronger vignette. I spent a lot of this shoot trying to take these very serious photos, but I wanted to take at least one real photo. So I made a stupid joke which forced a slight, yet real smile out of her. This photo is extremely special to me because of this. The name is a lyric from a song named "Nana" that reminds me of her. Image 12 - Locked Up: This photo uses natural light blocked by a pole to cast a strong shadow on the subject's face. I wanted to create a new feel and idea that I hadn't experimented with as much so I almost wanted to create the story that the subject was in prison. We can see the low emotion in the face which shows the repetition of the prison life and the shadow cast over the face represents the bars. I didn't want to cover the eyes however as I feel as though showing them creates a slight amount of hope, a hope for freedom. Image 13 - Take The Shot: This photograph was taken in the studio however I wanted to try something different. This photograph was taken with my own camera, shooting the photographer in the studio. The lighting shown on her face is that of the studio itself, casting high levels of detail over her face. I found that with this shot there was a lot of emotion and thinking behind it, the focus of the face while holding a strip of cloth over the lens to create an effect. I went with a black & white edit to create a really strong contrast between the blacks & whites of the studio lighting and the background. It makes you want to see the photo that the subject was taking here. Image 14 - Floating: This photograph used a thin piece of a cheap tablecloth to create a warped and hazed effect on the subject. When using this effect, I really wanted to experiment with trying some movement in the shot. Because of this, I captured the subject flicking her hair back which almost gives a zero gravity, floating effect. The inspiration for this was the idea of a fever dream, a science fiction future world where nothing is clear but it is colourful. This photograph used studio lighting where the light was placed directly above the subject. Image 15: Opening The Third Eye: This Photograph was shot from an angle on a mirror. The angle allowed me to create a warp on the image and make a third eye on the face. The lighting was soft but still enough to create a soft shadow on the side of the subject. This photo was another test into a more abstract form with lighting and composition. The black & white colours were used to bring out the form of the subject more as well.
