Ok this is a bit of a longshot I think.
Was trying to get some shots of morning routines and these are what I came up with. Critique and comments very much welcomed.






Cheers

Nice series, and I love the last one...

But you pee with pants on?

You check your weight every morning Matt? Nice and interesting series, I think you must have passed your 10,000 shots

Ummmh....great shots Matt.

But what on earth is wrong with your feet?

I didn't think I would turn everyone blind by peeing with my trousers off Leigh.....it just aint pretty.

Gotta keep this fine specimen of a body in tip top condition Glen Actually that is the first time I have used them I think.

Yeah, they don't come off too well there do they. I assure you they don't look like big foots feet in real life.

Thanks for the comments guys.

Edit: Sorry Glen - fixed

I like the concept, but not the execution. I weigh myself in the morning and I have a pee, but not fully clothed - not that I'm suggesting you should be taking naked pics of yourself and posting them here - just that my reality jars with these images. The tooth brushing shots work better, but the first one looks a little posed.

What about a steamy mirror with part wiped away and a close shot of you shaving taken from an angle (or perhaps reflected in a shaving mirror), or a filmy shot of someone silhouetted in a shower or a close shot of someone painting their toenails, a woman with a towel around her head (can't see you have this need).

As I say I like the concept and I think you should pursue it.

Edit: For the scales, take off your pants - naked legs are OK.

Stubbsy, the last thing I want to see is Matt naked on my screen.


Matt, It wasn't me commenting on your feet, I wouldn't do that.

Totally agree with everything there Peter. I like the steamy mirror and shower silhouette ideas. I've asked Sam if she'll let me photograph her morning routine i.e. washing hair, putting makeup on etc, but she refuses to let me near her with a camera in the morning!!

These were just the first attempts at an idea I had at 4am this morning so I'll give it another go.

Cheers guys

You wouldn't be seeing him mostly naked, just partially naked.

Not homophobic Leigh, but I see enough of Matt in his avatar

That's Matt in the avatar - he's the Hoffster in disguise . Now I WANT to see him naked - think of the traffic we'd get to the site. We could even sell the pics (oh, there's a thread here somehwre about that isn't there?)

Actually I wasn't implying they were big, just that they looked bruised and bloodied a bit.

a good idea, although wearing your 'pj' or 'lack of' would suggest that it is morning.

i like the first image, the geometric pattern is a stark contrast against the white wall tile and vanity, maybe seeing you bare legs would add to the theme.

maybe you could also try using a wide aperture to draw attention to certain details.

just some thoughts...
