2022 Hotel Series - Khaki Fundoshi - Wet 2

Part 2 of the hotel shoot takes us to a more muted color set. I wanted to get a flat feel in the photos to match the rather boring looking tile in the shower. 

I have been using a new photo editor which does not allow me to easily show a progression of the changes Iʻve made to a photo. I can show a nifty ʻbefore/afterʻ screen shot:

As you can see, I brightened it up a bit and turned down the color saturation. I also played with some of the preset filters to even out the color tones.

2022 Hotel Series - Khaki Fundoshi - Wet 1

I havenʻt done a fundoshi photo shoot in quite a while. I only have a couple of designs that I havenʻt shown, so have been procrastinating doing a final studio setup.

I found myself in a hotel room for the night this week and couldnʻt resist a little ʻwetʻ shoot. Luckily, I had my tripod with me. Here are a set from that shoot. I have a couple more sets where I applied some post-production work, so stay tuned!

Flesh and Hair 1: Fade

 Yes, a bit trite. First black and white, then color and now somewhere in between.

Flesh and Hair 1: Color

 Continuing in the series, these are in glorious color! I think some of these would be quite interesting if blown up to a gloriously large size and hung on a wall.

Flesh and Hair 1: Black and White

  I found a series sitting on my hard drive. I did it a couple years ago, but never posted. This was really an experiment in using close-up work to evoke emotions. I think I revisited the process earlier this year, and will try to find those to post as well.
