Inspiration photo by Brian Duffy here.

This image is for the group Get Pushed, where you are paired with a partner and "pushed" outside of your comfort zone as a photographer. For Round 27, I was paired with my new friend Diana, aka Di's Eyes, whose work I've admired for some time now.

I challenged Diana to emulate a photo of Brian Duffy, an iconic fashion photographer in London in the 60s. Well, little did I know how HARD this challenge would be. I would soon know exactly how hard though, as Diana threw the challenge right back at me. Do click on her link -- she did a wonderful job of a very tough push!

As for me, this one pushed my Photoshop skills considerably. First of all, my dear model Caitlin is not really shaped this way at all. I had to stretch and pummel and squish her around quite a bit. LOL Then there was the matter of the colors, which were different on the body than they were on the wall behind Duffy's model. You can see the original here, and decide whether I've gotten close enough. Oh man, this was a challenge all right! ;)

If you'd like a little push (or a big one), come join us. Get Pushed is a ton of fun, and n00bs need not be afraid!!
