My favorite of Rob’s experiment with cross polarized lighting
Posted by Samantha Laura Kaye in Portfolio on September 9th, 2009
Another colour extract from Robert Miller’s JemCat shoot.I think this might be my favorite. Robert had a very interesting lighting setup for this shoot. He placed Polarization filters over his beauty box in order to block out “hot spots” and experiment with cross polarized lighting.
Robert made the cat ears himself in order to get the spacing and direction and texture the way he wanted.
Here Kitty Kitty plays with a roll of Gaffa tape. Jemma is a fantastic model, she was relaxed, is naturally beautiful and played kitty-kitty with intoxicating conviction.

Again, the original colours from the shoot, a crop of Sasha’s face and those amazing lashes.
Pix African Photo Journal asked Robert Miller to shoot their June/July cover. Robert brought Cally and I on board with the brief of “Apocalyptic Mall Rat”. Our inspirational images where somewhere between manga and alt. glam punk. This was the original colour scheme.

Robert and I drew inspiration from a Heidi Klum Cat-ear arrangement and set out to play kitty-kitty with Jem.
This is one of the first edited photographs, I’m keen to see the end 4 x 4 arrangement. Robert Miller made the cat ears himself.

This was somewhat of a challenge but a lot of fun. Rob was inspired by an image of a girl with flowers held over her hair, and once again we set out to “better” the wood nymph feel. We wanted to use purple Iris’s over her hair, though Cally could not find them so we used these greenish flowers – whose petals were recycled as eye-brows and eye-lashes with the help of DUO glue.
Main Make-Up Ingredient: DUO adhesive, fresh flower petals, MAC eyeshadow in “chrome yellow“, “parfait amour” and “thunder”(limited ed.) MAC pigment in “golders green” was used over her lips under clear lipglass.
