Fundoshi - Red All Over - Sill Lounging

So Iʻve traded the pillows for my favorite chair in this ʻloungingʻ shoot in my red fundoshi. 

I often recline in this chair to read a good book...

...or relax....

For the shoot, I found all kinds of ways to move about.

Grey Voile Fundoshi - The Lounging Shoot

So, while doing the shoot for the grey voile fundoshi, I decided a little color was needed to go with the fundoshi and the black background. It just so happens that I recently replaced a bunch of pillows for my living room, so had the perfect props just sitting around.

Some of you long time readers will know Iʻm a little crazy over the color combination of lime green and orange.

And that shows in the pillows I just purchased.

Not much to say about lighting, design, etc that hasnʻt been said already.

Royal Blue Fundoshi - Focus Hocus Pocus

Back to the royal blue fundoshi. Previously, I did a close-up shoot. For this session, I was trying to do focus tricks, trying to get specific portions of the photos out of focus while others in focus.

 Hereʻs a shot in focus....

And one out of focus....

The problem is, I canʻt see what is actually in the frame and what isnʻt, so sometimes, the focus would be on the fundoshi...

...but I really wanted it on the foot.

Of course, having a model other than myself would solve this issue....any volunteers?

Some of them came out nicely, as you will see.

fundoshi…royal blue 

fabric...100% cotton gauze (very warm and cozy for the chillier nights)

photography…trying to do some focus work (yes, you will see some that donʻt meet the focus/out of focus work, but they were part of the session and I liked them, so they are included)

Purple Fundoshi With a Moody White Backdrop - Part Two

Back to the purple gauze fundoshi with the moody white backdrop courtesy of very little light and some tinsel reflections. 

 The play of light and shadow really shows up in this set.

 The tinsel reflections add just a little something to the background.

 And since this is a ʻPart Twoʻ shoot, well....we all know what that means....

 The fundoshi falls.
