Orange Gauze Fundoshi - The Test - Part One

Orange fundoshi in a new design. You can easily do this design with a brush - just simple stripes!

 



















What test could I possibly be speaking of?

Generally speaking, I do about 3 or 4 fundoshi shoots within a weekend. This gives me time to edit the photos and schedule the blogs without being in a rush.

For the current crop of photos starting with the white on white on white shoot, I did 6 fundoshi and 2 fundoshi related shoots in the span of 2 days. Doing it this way minimizes the setup and breakdown time of the backdrops, lights, etc. Doing so many in 2 days also meant my creative juices seemed to be draining from a posing perspective. I have to face it, there are just so many ways I have of positioning my body and wrapping a fundoshi to appear interesting. So I gave myself the following challenge:  Can I put on and take off a fundoshi without standing? 

You will notice I am on a white background. This is a new one for me to use and is made of vinyl. It shows up much better when out of focus.

It also has a much neater appearance. The only issue is if I am too close to it, there are some manufacturing indentations that show up. Iʻm hoping these will go away over time.

I quickly found that while I tried to maintain the ʻno standingʻ rule, I did have to get on my knees a couple of times....

Keep going......
