At the beginning of the year a friend asked me if I would take documentation photos of her scars, bruises, and healing from a breast surgery if she paid me. I said yes, of course. I said if I can use you as a practice model and post them here on my Patreon, I will do it for free. She said that was fine with her. So, this is her first time modeling like this and we stayed within her comfort areas of what she wanted to show and not. She has also seen all of these photos, removed a few, and these are what remains. (There will be a second set posted, too.) Her goal was to get photos to remember and to write to (she is a writer). So, she wanted to write about her feelings and the process. My goal was to practice what I usually do, lighting, trying to direct, making people feel comfortable, shooting what they're willing and enthusiastic to share, documentation, photos that show the entire area, photos that have a bit of creativity to them, and photos that could be used for different purposes i.e. covering the nipple to be used on IG and FB and perhaps use printed and framed in art shows. This is set one. I will share set two tomorrow with a story of my own experience with mammary issues.
