Crazy Eye, Bucket Boys, and Keith Moody Band

Welcome to the RORSHAK RADAR. This spring's adventures include a crazy eye, a salute to the 40-Year Old V*rgin, and some good old band photography with the Keith Moody Band. My good friend Cory Basil (http://theblacknail.com/) allowed me to make a character representation of him and took the burden of styling and makeup upon himself. Cory's skill at assuming fantastical characters is unmatched by anyone I've known. Here is my favorite of many frames from our shoot together--selected because I appreciate the shape of the candle's flame, the position of the bird in the cage, and Cory's expression and tenuous pose: Cory's "eye" for detail should not be overlooked-check out his crazy eye (left) courtesy of Mr. Scarpati (www.scarpati.com) who made a generous offering of white contacts to give Cory's image a final touch. Cory's Lemony Snicket-esque appearance is not all that he's capable of assuming, as proven by this candid image taken at a recent party (right): The Bucket Boys (www.bucketboys.net) required a RORSHAK image this month. From their webpage you can see how incredibly energetic they are, beating trash cans and cast iron skillets with drumsticks like wild monkeys. I wanted to take a different approach to making their image (left), inspired by the hilarious irony of the 40-Year Old V*rgin poster (I had to change the "i" to an asterick so that your email provider won't label me as spam, since the "V-word" would sink my email into 'that' category) that won my favor this past year (right). I used a "Sears portrait" approach with the background, but used reflected light from pocket mirrors to light their faces: And finally, The Keith Moody Band (www.myspace.com/keithmoodymusic) were kind enough to let me produce their promotional images. We spent the afternoon aiming to help beef up their promotional portfolio, and hopefully they will be fueled for promotional success for the next year. The top image was made in my basement, a dangerous place that I had never imagined would look so cool in a photo, but now seems like an indispensible new location to keep in mind for future adventures (as long as there is someone to help me to bind Lurch before the shoot): Thank you so much for spending a few moments with this newsletter, and for being on the RORSHAK RADAR. This newsletter and all of my former newsletters are archived at my blog here. Please forward it to anyone you feel it pertains to, and feel free to contact me about any of your creative needs anytime. I wish you an amazing spring!
