Snowflakes in the snow - 009/365

Good day for shooting today. The new baby carrier that my wife ordered came today and she wanted to show it off in pictures. (She had been eying this up and saving her pennies for months, so for Christmas I gave her the money she needed.) We did about sixty shots with her wearing the baby in the new wrap, and honestly I had a hard time picking just one to showcase. This one is great though, and almost straight out of the camera.
Strobist info: A single 865,000mi diameter ball of burning hydrogen positioned ~93,000,000mi camera rear left, diffused through M-class planetary atmosphere and surface forestation.
I've been working on cleaning up the family room, which had become overrun with the children's overflow. Part of the motivation was to find the floor again, but part of it was also to start setting up a bit of a photo studio to work in. Today I actually did some shooting in said studio and I am very happy about it! The photos were good but not great as I was a little lighting challenged at the time. (Rechargeable batteries sipping from the charger, alkaline batteries all used up, and the single halogen work lamp was creating some harsh shadows.) So a few more things to work on in the studio, including a DIY softbox for the worklamp, adding a few clamp lights, and making something to hang a backdrop from. The shooting wall has a fireplace in it, which makes a nice prop and all, but ultimately I need to make a few muslins. Still, it is nice to finally a place to do some good inside work as well. It's been a good day.

Ron Mueck (born 1958) is an Australian hyperrealist sculptor working in the United Kingdom. Mueck's early career was as a model maker and puppeteer for children's television and films, notably the film Labyrinth for which he also contributed the voice of Ludo, and the Jim Henson series The Storyteller.
Mueck moved on to establish his own company in London, making photo-realistic props and animatronics for the advertising industry. Although highly detailed, these props were usually designed to be photographed from one specific angle hiding the mess of construction seen from the other side. Mueck increasingly wanted to produce realistic sculptures which looked perfect from all angles.
In 1996 Mueck transitioned to fine art, collaborating with his mother-in-law, Paula Rego, to produce small figures as part of a tableau she was showing at the Hayward Gallery. Rego introduced him to Charles Saatchi who was immediately impressed and started to collect and commission work. This led to the piece which made Mueck's name, Dead Dad, being included in the Sensation show at the Royal Academy the following year. Dead Dad is a rather haunting silicone and mixed media sculpture of the corpse of Mueck's father reduced to about two thirds of its natural scale. It is the only work of Mueck's that uses his own hair for the finished product.
Mueck's sculptures faithfully reproduce the minute detail of the human body, but play with scale to produce disconcertingly jarring visual images. His five metre high sculpture Boy 1999 was a feature in the Millennium Dome and later exhibited in the Venice Biennale.
In 1999 Mueck was appointed as Associate Artist at the National Gallery, London. During this two-year post he created the works Mother and Child, Pregnant Woman, Man in a Boat, and Swaddled Baby. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ron_Mueck
