Mainly People

This blog installment deals primarily with the imaging of people.  I love imaging a person.  My objective is to not only provide a visual account of what the individual looks like, but to reveal a bit about who this person is.  A direction for the mind to pursue will evoke the panomime of the face and ignite the eyes.  This in conjunction with some posing tips will more often than not result in a dynamic image which causes a psychological response from the viewer.  Emotional states like confidence, enthusiasm, caring, and in the event of the SnoBot, an 'ice cold heart' begin in the mind of the subject, are translated into an expression, which I record and deliver as per usage dictates.  Finally, these expressions and gestures are viewed, and subsequent to a brief moment of involvement on behalf of the viewer, an emotional response ensues.  That's the objective anyway....

Jana wanted a simple family portrait.  What a great looking family!  Jana has done hair and concepts on many of the fembots.
