A favor to ask

[hazliya]

Hello, my f-list!

Does anyone have a well-lit, preferably simple bed setup that I could monopolize on this Sunday? If it's against more than one wall, awesome. Morning/afternoon.

I have two girls coming in for a light rope bondage shoot (both first-timers, so nothing more than simple ties) and the photos will be black/whites. I can bring a white bedsheet, so that's not an issue.

I will cook lunch for you. Or make cookies. Or something.

Come on. Cookies. Devastatingly cute girls.

If you can, I'd be awesomely grateful.

You have no idea how badly I wish:
A) my room was even remotely clean
B) my bed had posts

Damn.

I have what I believe is an awesome bed for this, but not quite the most awesome location. It is against a wall with a window and I consider it pretty well-lit, but my room is quite small and the manouverability for YOU, the photographer, is limited. I can take some pictures of the space for you if you like.

The bed is black wrought iron. Pictures of it in a past setup are here (http://www.flickr.com/photos/24802536@N03/2654418994/in/set-72157606074823308/) Current bedding is dark purple satiny sheets, black comforter.

That sounds awesome! Could you send me a picture of the current setup?

Better: I'm uploading video. Will share when it's up. :)

One caveat: cats live here. Better check with your models that they don't have allergies. The black comforter is pretty inundated with cat hair, but I would be happy to launder it before the shoot. After all, this would give me awesome bragging rights. ;)

This shows off the bed and its awesome wrought iron posts, my odd gabled ceiling (this shoot would be so much more awesome if I had ever installed mirrors there like I pondered), the currently-shaded window (camera can't deal with the light changes too well), the side of the bed where the computer desk is (chair easily movable; desk less so but not entirely immovable), the top of the bed where all my laundry is (definitely movable), and the awesome light fixture I have that is not only bright but each light is independently movable.

What do you think?

[hazliya.livejournal.com]

That is actually all kinds of perfect. Your place it is! =)

The shoot is slated to start at 10am, so I'll plan on being there at 9:30ish to set up. How's that?

(also, I will provide lunch for everyone. Including you. Any dietary restrictions?)

[juldea.livejournal.com]

Woohoo!

Okay, I will clean up and take care of the laundry piles and such on Saturday night or earlier on Sunday, and then when you show up Sunday 9:30 we can do whatever else needs be done.

Address is in this locked post (http://juldea.livejournal.com/912658.html).

I do live right next to a Thai/Vietnamese restaurant, a Chinese restaurant, and a gourmet burger restaurant, so that might make lunch easier. I have no dietary restrictions other than preferring non-seafood (unless it's sushi.)

I will offer mine.
Against 2 white walls, lighting may be an issue.
No posts, but I think it might work anyway.
If you want I can send you a picture.

[doc-smiley.livejournal.com]

Also had an idea this morning how to get more lighting.
I pick up one of these (http://) and then just return it when we're done.

Something that might be usable but alas its in NYC

[purple-dj.livejournal.com]

You offer to bring over a couple of models and tie them up in bed, and suddenly everyone's your friend...

Oh, cookies too. Yeah... They offer of cookies might not have been necessary in this case.

Huh. Damn. Sigh.

And many other monosyllabic expressions.
