I get particular enjoyment when a design I have in my head actually works when I try to put it into physical form. This new design worked just as my imagination pictured it.
I used a cookie cutter for the circles. Instead of just using the cutter to create the outline, I covered it in material so the discharge solution would be applied to the entire area. I varied the pressure a bit so each ʻstampʻ would have its own character. I then used a small brush for the rays.
You can see this is also a new color. This is a grey 100% cotton voile.
It has a slight sheer nature, but not too revealing.
I like the subtle difference in colors the bleaching turned this.
For the shoot, I used my white vinyl backdrop. For the series of shots I took during this studio session, I played a little more with post-production techniques. Iʻm trying to learn a bit more of what is available to me outside of the camera. For this series, I pushed the exposure a bit, lowered the saturation, but bumped up some vibrancy.
