There is this amazing place that sells old and new mannequins in one of Perth’s industrial areas. It’s just an old 5 bedroom house literally filled with mannequins of ALL shapes and sizes, women, men & kids. Each one is unique and no doubt all have an interesting life story to tell.The back yard is littered with mannequin body parts, it is truly like stepping into an amazing film set or a weird dream. I returned for 3 seperate shoots, totally addicted.
This image is shot on pushed neg film 800asa. I had access to printing facilities at the time and forgot for some stupid reason to rinse the chemicals of the film once I had developed it. So the film dried with these pinkish chemical drip lines, as you can see in the photo. Luckily I loved it! The unpredictable, tactile nature of film was great for creative random-ness.

What an amazing surprise to see a mannequin with breasts…AND hips! What a nice change, and aren’t you clever to place that one to the front. Interesting result with your film processing too! Overall a very pleasing shot…..love to get into that house full of bodies…..hehe

this is awesome, I love the pic and what you did or didn’t do to it. I have a thing for mannequins too and we have one at our house who I call my guard dog as she scares the daylights out of people. She has pink hair and wears bikini’s and stands near our pool. I will have to upload her to show you. We call her Lucy. Love this, hope to see more

This is the kind of nude I would feel comfortable shooting. At least they wouldnt give you a hard time if you didnt do a good job. Lots of fun elements in this image Janine

Sounds like a great location. So many possibilities. Good shot this, and I love the “chemical spill” – it adds to it.
