Behind the Lens

DH and I have been busy, very busy.  We have developed an all natural lip care product and a coordinating line of t-shirts that are inspired by the act of and the passion surrounding kissing.  We’re called Rediscover the Kiss. Check us out on Twitter (@rtkfeelsgood) and on Facebook (RTKFeelsGood). 
After an extensive model search, we had our first photo shoot for our products and apparel this past week-end in New York. 
Although my modeling days are behind me, the camera and I were still very much involved.
I was the photographer.

It went really well considering this is my first foray behind the lens. I did some homework before hand, picking the brains of various photogs that I know.  I read some books, and drew upon my own knowledge from my stint at a model.   There is still so much to learn, but it’s fun and I’m off to a great start.   I think of the 624 shots — yes! — we certainly got some good stuff, and the editing I will do can help where we’re lacking.  I’ve got some work ahead of me, but I will definitely post them when I’m done.

You know, my big hair is what got me into modeling, what kept the bookings coming, and since I’ve cut it, I haven’t heard much.  At first, I was kind of ticked, but now I’m getting all Zen.  What if my modeling experience was just the first step towards where I am now, behind the lens? What if that experience then, that experience yesterday is lining me up for where I’m going next?  I don’t know where that will be, just as I didn’t know where the modeling was going to take me.  Still, I’m going, one foot in front of the other, camera in hand.
