Rainbows Charity Calendar! All shot by your very own Betty!!!!

Thanks for that, looked like a lot of fun! :D
 
Hi Dee,
February is a good month, twas the month I decided to grace the world with my presence! :lol:

That aside, some bits you may or may not know that could help your creativness:

February derives from the latin februum which means purification.
Birthstone for feb is amethyst and the birth flowers are the violet and the primrose.

don't ask me how you can factor those into your shoot for accountants though, I'll leave that to you! :thinking:
 
All good ideas! Thanks for that, we better get deciding soon, we are running out of time :D

Tough to come up with anything other than the "sexy secratary" type look.
I'm sure you'll have a blast though I shot seven month of a calendar last year and it was great fun, we raised £2500 too :) Here's some behind the scenes stuff...

good work...where was mad max though? :thinking:

clothed, although not the "choice of the people" around here :P will give you more options for look and feel of the shot rather than worrying about hiding everyone's bits and pieces.
however, i feel that stockings should certainly be a part of the process! :love:
 
Two stacks of beans that are being counted...
 
Stockings for certain :D

The girls really like the idea of being photoshopped onto a giant abacus, one of their husbands is a PS whizz so has agreed to help us. If that doesnt look right, they want to use loads of tax text books and "balance" them :D
 
If you need an assistant you know where I am. I'll leave the creative side of things to the others though. Good luck.
 
Abacus Idea sounds really cool.

Without knowing what props you have to hand, but if you want to be able to make the subject look like they are sitting on the beads of the abacus you could try using a swiss exercise ball for them to sit on.
 
Thanks Kev, I thought you would be willing :D

I think we are having the girls sit between the abacus beads, but good thinking on the swiss gym balls :D
 
Well guess what.

I am now shooting the entire thing. The ENTIRE thing.

Dont ask how it came about, I dont have the energy right now :lol:
 
congrats:thumbs:

Congratulations.... and does this mean one of the guys in your office will be standing at the front of the office with a strategically placed cactus on the desk in front of him. :D

Hope it goes well and look forward to seeing the results.

Lee :thumbs:
 
The guys in our office dont want to join in, miserable sods :lol:

I basically asked the question if I could shoot just the one month for our company, but the "official" photographer wasnt happy about it. I left it alone as it wasnt my place to fight it, although I thought it was a bit unfair considering it was for charity.

Anyway, turns out I am more flexible than him in terms of amount of processing I am willing to do, I am also more willing to shoot early morning and late evenings, which he was not.

Been to meet with the printers already today to discuss the layouts, and my company is looking into sponsorship. Its all come from nowhere! :D
 
Nice one Dee, a prime example of "if you don't ask, you don't get"!!
 
Heres my idea.....
All the girls dressed in shiny black leather and stockings and high heels and long black gloves and whips......
My accountant normally comes visiting around February time, with at least the whip anyway.

Sorry, back on track........................................................
Dean:)

All the best,
 
Thanks Rob!

Anyone fancy an update? I am currently half way through the shoots, and we have some very sexy images so far!!!! One brave lady whipped her top off this morning and I got a face full :lol:

Cant show any images on here until the calendar is on sale, which should be in about 6-8 weeks, but yeah, so far so good :D

Well done Dee, after all the ideas and suggestions (Read Fantasies in my case), i cant wait to see the finished product.
Will the calendars be available to everyone (read Me).

If its ok with Mr Marcel, I might be able to start a new thread once its on sale to try and generate some sales :)

It will be available to all :D
