lexmachine Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 Hi everyone! Quick recap for those that don't know me because I'm horrible at keeping up with the forum: I'm Lexie, I live in an RV with Emmymau. I am a photographer and go by the nom de...lens? "Lex Machina" And I've been a regular CC and scene patron since 2001. These are from a recent shoot with an amazing troupe of steampunk costumers and performers in LA: And here's an older shot from one from one of my favorite sets for Atelier Choklit, a beaded-fabric jewelry designer: And one of my personal faves (i may have posted this one somewhere before) of "the other Lex" or Allie who was a CC regular some years back and has since moved to Texas (like I did, lol): Loads more in my flickr stream and more to come. If you like, I'll try to make more of an effort to post new stuff over here more often. Thanks for looking, and as always, for the support.

Msterbeau Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 Outstanding stuff! I wouldn't mind seeing the first three re-edited into a more low chroma, desaturated style, but the settings, costumes and compositions are great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Bar Sinister Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 hey, lexmachine - did you ever see the io9 item on your photos? I started a thread on it a while back; here's a link to the thread: http://www.detroitgothic.net/index.php?showtopic=30817 love the new pics, especially that 1st one. kinda reminiscent of Sergio Leone.

TheLordOfSins Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 That first picture looks like a group of adventures from a Steampunk DnD game. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexmachine Posted December 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 Thank you guys! @beau Thanks! I actually have a few in a completely monotone, high-contrast turn of the century style sepia yet to post, and they're really fun. I actually tried a LOT of different pp styles on these. They are slightly desaturated, but I found that if I desaturated them too, too much, all the detail in the costuming was lost amongst the busy backgrounds and the costumes were largely what this set was about. I could definitely have spent a bit more time on them though, and the boldness of the color in the setting/background in the last one (plus about a million other things coughlikehowpinkandwashedouthisskiniscough) really bugs me. @spammer yes I saw the io9 piece, but I had not seen that thread! I'll have to hop over there. Everyone else, thanks for the <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
