02 Bite ~ Pursuing a Passion ~ OPEN
Who; Elena Michaels & OPEN
What; Quick Hello and Photography
Where; Around HQ
When; September 1st - 16th
Warnings; Mentions of nudity in the last prompt.
VIDEO: Rec Room: September 1st
[Elena doesn’t usually use the video function on any phone but she assumed it’d be easier if those she spoke to knew what she looked like. Her hair is long and blond, her expression calm but guarded. She’s sitting at a table in the recreation room which is only obvious because the door to the pool can be seen behind her.]
Hello everyone. I was looking for volunteers and I figured it was best to take this chance to introduce myself. My name is Elena Michaels and like many others I arrived on the platform; though I’ve been here for about a month now.
[A pen twirls between her fingers as she continues.]
I’ve recently acquired a camera and I’m looking for models. I have at least one volunteer but more would really help. I’ll be in the Rec Room if you want to look at my photos before agreeing. Thank you.
[Elena flashes a charming smile before turning off her phone.]
ACTION: Rec Room or Cafeteria: September 6th - 14th
[She can be found in either the Rec Room or the Cafeteria for the next week with her new laptop placed in front of her. If she’s in the Cafeteria she’ll almost always have a cup of tea to her right which will slowly get cold as she forgets it’s there.
Elena is editing photos though she’ll stop if you decide to look over her shoulder. Her fingers move quickly over the mousepad as she changes the tint to the photos or fades around the edges. The subjects of her photos are mostly people, tastefully twisted and positioned so that the light shines off their bare skin. She doesn’t edit them, leaving their figures, flaws and emotions raw.
She wants to show the human form for what it is instead of the normal perception of beauty.]
ACTION: Photoshoot: September 1st - 5th
[ooc: WARNING: Mentions of nudity & other content.]
[To those who’ve agreed, Elena has set up in a small room with lights, black back drops and other equipment. Some of it is on loan and she needs to get it back to the man at the pawn shop if she wants her money back. The only nice piece equipment that looks very nice and very new is a camera which is strung around her neck.
She flashes a professional smile at those who arrive and closes the door behind them.] Glad you could make it. I need you to strip down. I brought a robe for in between shoots in case you get cold.
[She doesn’t want goose bumps in her shots.]

She holds up a hand to get his attention and then gestures to the side on her left which has been cleared for his use. When he's close enough she'll flash him a smile.]
Looks like you found me.
action;
And then he has to remind himself that she's probably about the same age as him. Floating around as a spook for 70 years makes a guy feel old.]
Yeah, and I didn't even need one of those G-S-P things.
action;
I'm an amature cartographer. I'd always be happy to draw you a map if it'll help.
[She laughs softly, her voice light.]
I have my images up here.
action;
[Which was Joey's way of saying yes, he'd appreciate a map.]
Okay. So, what am I looking at?
action;
[She turns her laptop so that he can see her pictures.]
These are my photo's.
action;
Wow, how does her back bend like that?
action;
Models don't get the credit they are due. They work very hard and a lot of my subjects have to stay in the same position for painful lengths of time.
[The whole point of art is interpretation so there isn't a wrong answer.]
I have other photos too.
[She slowly moves her mouse and opens another collection for him to look through.]
action;
Aren't you just clicking a button? How long did you make them stand there?
action;
The shoot takes a few hours depending on the idea. The models usually stand in one position for a minimum of twenty minutes.
[It's a long time which is why she has to ask for models and pray that she gets someone who knows what they are doing, otherwise it takes longer.]
action;
They stand at least 20 minutes like that?
action;
[She leans forward, lacing her fingers beneath her chin.]
Does that surprise you?
action;
[He looks over to her, then back to the computer thing.]
But I guess I could do it for you.
action;
Would you?
[She's a little surprised.]
action;
action;
[She raises an eyebrow at him.]
action;
You never know until you try, right?
action;
Then meet me tomorrow and we'll see how it goes. Of course you can stop at anytime.
[Elena really doesn't like to force people into things.]
And if you're worried about getting tired you can take breaks.
action;
action;
[She can be a forceful taskmaster.]
I'll look forward to it.
action;
[For some reason he liked the sound of that, and it didn't have anything to do with cameras.]
action;
That is what I said. Should I not?
[She teases as she begins to shut down her laptop.]
action;
Did I say that?
action;
No you didn't. You don't say a lot.
[She ran her fingers through her hair as she moved to stand.]
I should get to work on some of my edits. I'll look forward to seeing you model.
action;
You noticed, huh?
[But he nods, standing.]
I'll leave you to it, then.
