Shell Keeley Shoot…
I photographed the FABULOUS Shell Keeley recently. We met up and had tea at the Rococo Coffee House, in Liverpool. It was the first time I had met Shell, but we had been in touch via msgs on Facebook and such, so it didn’t really feel like our first meeting. I had wanted to photograph her because she simply looks divine, in her genuine vintage clothes PLUS she is the sweetest lady. So here we are, sat by the window in this rococo styled coffee shop, having a good old chin-wag, topics ranging from Vincent Price to Bette Davis, it wasn’t long before our cups were empty. So I set up my lights & we shot away.
We then packed up, Shell made a quick out-fit change (1930’s German red dress), and we were gone.
NEXT UP…
OUT DOOR SHOTS
We had a little wander about, taking pictures with just natural daylight. Stunning results with backlighting from the sun. Shell has the BEST eyes, so I took lots of close-up shots with an aperture of F/1.7 at 100 ISO, with my Pentax manual focus lens.
Really happy with the results, and you wouldn’t believe it was Shell’s first ever photo session. Beautiful pictures of a beautiful person, with the most impeccable manners. A true lady.

Second floor mantel. Even though the house was started about 1790, much of the interior was not finished until the early 1800's. That's how it got it's name. They said they were living in a shell of a house. This mantel is in one of the rooms that was finished later. It looks to be more Federal than Georgian.
Found in a bag while clearing our loft! The cowries and other tiny shells came from the beach at North Berwick in the east of Scotland.
I found a lot of shells with starfish holes on them - brought a bunch home and made a simple wind chime. Most likely it will tangle, but that is okay - I will just have to try to untangle it.

Getting better. This is for the Strathmore watercolor sketching workshop I'm taking.
I'm trying two new things today. First I tried a technique called the double transfer. It's used by scientific illustrators to make an exact drawing. I photographed the shells on a white background remembering to overexposed the image by +1 E.V. (stop) in order to get a good white. I then transferred the file to my iPad, cropped it in Photogene, sized it in Pages, and printed it to plain paper using my Epson NX430 wireless printer. I then traced the shells onto thin tracing paper using a soft pencil. Here's where the double transfer comes in. You fold the tracing paper so that more tracing paper covers the original tracing. You then burnish the tracing with your fingernail or the edge of a spoon to transfer the graphite to the back of the folded piece. You then transfer that image to your art material by placing the tracing paper with the graphite down and burnishing again. By transferring the graphite twice you don't get a mirror image. If you do it right, you get a very faint pencil outline of your subject that is photo accurate. It's an interesting process to try, but I don't think I'll use it very often. It's more suitable for a finished illustration than for sketching. I'd rather just do a quick drawing.
The other new thing I tried today was to use my iPad to scan and upload my sketch to Flickr. In the past I used my desktop computer to scan, edit and upload. The Epson NX430 printer is also a wireless scanner. So, I scanned the sketch directly to my iPad, rotated, straightened, cropped, and resized the image in Photogene, and used FlickStackr to upload it to my Flickr photos.
