Hogworts (for Cyndi fans)

Bilsen

My two gorgeous BilCyn partners, Anylza and Cyndi, are HUGE Harry Potter fans so off we trekked to Hogworts for a shoot. I'm still processing the shoot but here are the first few.

A Hufflepuff with the dark mark? Say it isn't so.

Bilsen

Eustace, I have ZERO clue what you're talking about BUT I did enjoy shooting the concept.

All these models do (including Cyndi and my Daughter-in-Law) is constantly remind me how OVER I am.

Foques

hogwArts, get it right, damn it!

Eustace2

But, you're not without hope. I am pushing 60 and have read the Potter series twice. It is one of my favorites after the Chronicles of Narnia and The Lord of the Rings Trilogy. I like the pictures too. (I was so shocked by the dark mark that I missed the misspelling.)

Hackbone

These are lovely but that first one just rivets my attention.

Bilsen

Thanks Foques, for correcting my abject ignorance of anything that happened after 1995.

hogawAts huh??

Hack, that image credit goes entirely to Anylza and Cyndi. I asked them to smile but just hint at evil and I think they both nailed it.

Eustace, WTH is a dark mark? I thought it was a lighting critique.

Foques

you're funnay!

Eustace2

The "dark mark" is the sign the identifies the followers of the evil Lord Voldemort. It is also the way they summon each other to meetings and other dark events. Typically, when someone uses it, bad things happen. You really need to rent the DVDs.

Bilsen

Thanks Foques. The really sad part is most of the time I don't mean to be. :cry

Eustace - I needed to do that two weeks ago. Now I don't need them.

Foques

this is the dark mark:

Eustace2

Another one? I am hanging with the wrong crowd.

FlyNavy

I love your creativity!

Bilsen

Thanks Navy. Appreciate it.

I've often been accosted here for being too commercial so every so often I've been trying to throw a curve ball.

Where in Northern Jersey? You are likely less than 40 minutes from me.

divamum

This is a fun set!

Bilsen

Thanks Diva.

Frankly, since you are one of my chief "too commercial" critics, I actually was hoping you'd enjoy this little photographic digression.

Anylza joining Cyndi and me on the BilCyn Images team has really expanded all our vision. She is a helluva wardrobe stylist, a crazy good shopper and not a horrible model in her own right.

divamum

Oh, I don't have a problem with "commercial", I have a problem with "trying too hard to look 'sexy' and forgetting about the other elements involved in making a great photo" (you know I luv ya, Bilsen! )

Bilsen

me too Diva.

Bilsen

A couple more from HogwArts (thanks Foques)

I like the mood in #1 in this set.

Great Models and theme. Overall I think that the environment is a bit to clean. The bricks look really new. But that is something you can not change. Besides that I it.3&5 are my Favo's

Haha.. This cracked me up. Great pictures though. You can see how much of HP fans they really are from the pics.

Bilsen

D3, I tried to get the restaurant to completely redo their brick in gray. For some reason, it was a non-starter.

Thanks Tsardoc. Glad you enjoyed it.
