Trisha, her violin, and more ...

[Mike McCarty]

This is my buddy Trisha.

I like the idea of props, it gives an opportunity to make interesting compositions. I was mainly interested in photographing Trisha with her violin but she was such a willing and capable model I dragged her around the house taking all manner of pictures.

All of these were taken with my Nikon film camera with Kodak Portra 400 asa pro film. The shoot started about 9:00 am. Some of these shots were aided by a foam board reflector propped up just out of sight, others were aided by ordinary indoor can lighting. I did use spot metering on many shots. Out of forty shots I got what I consider 10 pretty good ones. This is a high ratio for me and speaks well of Trisha's ability as a model.
