The Woes of a Photographer...
Who says being a photographer is all fun and games?
Well – I can tell you – it’s a terrible, terrible thing.
Last Friday, I had the misfortune of having 8 beautiful, sensual girls come and play girly dress-ups at my house. And wouldn’t you know it? They actually wanted me to shoot the affair! Clothes flying everywhere, dancing in skimpy thingies – it is a wonder I didn’t have a bloody heart attack, I can tell you!
All this was due to Yasemin and Naomi lending their services as colorist and make-up artist.
Possibly the longest and most bandwidth-intensive journal entry ever, here we go…..
Setting the scene…

Lots of girls getting dressed, and out comes the camera…

Troy was a 4-armed angel…

...but with a sneaky side…
28
..and another side…

Erin decided to try and slice me open…

...and Troy showed her how…

As the alcohol flowed freely, they danced…
32
...and fell over a lot…
33
which tired them out and allowed me to take some candids…

Michael Alesich
Mark great shots, You had such a hard gig.
Shot 26,30 are very cool. Love the whole feel of them
Shot 50 makes me think of a 60’s cop movie.
dairygirl08
being surrounded by all those beautiful young ladies must have been so hard for you to cope with, must have been pulling out your hair, but oh well such is life, some body had to take these shot and they had to get the best man suited for the job, lol.
you did a superb job and all of the photos are stunning, looks like it was loads of fun for all.
Christine Wilson
BTW your house was a nice backdrop too
Lorraine Creagh
How did you cope Mark. Must have been difficult. Can’t pick a favourite. They’re all great.

Kristina K
great work, oh what a night, hehehe
bellmusker
Thanks so much Mark – what a fabulous reminder of a wonderful night!!
My favourites are undoubtedly the stunning 42 (Lisa, this one takes my breath away) and the joyous 28 (love love love this one of Troy – it’s shows her spirit and cheekiness to full effect). I do have a soft spot, however, for 26. Damn that cigarette felt so familiar in my fingers, even though it’s been ten years since I smoked. Hard to be sultry without one!
Wonderful work Mark – thank you so much!
kaha
sweet shots!!! I can’t decide which I like the best, they are all great!! nice work, musta been daunting:-)
Michelle Hogan
Cool shots! I am doing a similar thing at my house in a couple of weeks, I figure : dressups + wine + my camera = some great shots the girls will want to purchase… Sort of a tupperware party for photos, but a hell of a lot more fun : )

Lisa…you look about 20 in shot 42…beautiful
Bell…in shot 52 is stunning, so stunning
Somebody needs to get Troy to an agency and on someones books…she belongs on screen. Troy you have so much character and attitude it hurts and I love it.
Well done Mark…they are so beautiful..all of them ;)
Robert Elliott
Life can be rough Mark LOL
yt sumner
These are just stunning. Honestly what you manage to capture just blows me away. And it was as fun as it looks.
