Paul Montgomery’s White Chair

This white chair is older than I am…
Paul Montgomery has been shooting for many years and has one of the best “Home studios” I have ever seen, each wall is covered with photographs and prints, each chest of drawers is filled with thousands and thousands of negatives, his “living room” is his studio full time the backdrop does not come down. Paul worked with me back in 2005 and again in 2006 this image if from our first shoot back when I was still sporting my long purple hair. I recall I swore that chair was so rickety that it wouldn’t hold up much longer even under my slight 95Lb frame I was assured that his old beat up plain white chair was older than I was and very sturdy. The chair head together and we shot with different fabrics and the chair and if I recall a few images with one of his kitty cats too… Paul was shooting a combination of digital, mixed with film the darned digital camera was acting up so we shot mostly film. The extra fun part of the shoot was at the end when I had to run from one end of the yard to the other this is how Paul ends all of his shoots…The model runs back and forth in his yard nude while he captures the silly looks on their faces whilst they are running…

I keep wanting to get a chair that is distinctive and stuff.
This is the best I've gotten so far.
Funny story about the "tradition" of running across the yard.
Also inspirational to those of us that would like to set up the 'home studio' on more than an occasional basis.
