Paradise 2
0If you remember my original post “Welcome to Paradise”, you remember a beautiful little town in the Midwest. Well, I went back recently but with a different purpose. This time, and for the first time on this site, I decided to make a video. I’m not about to think of myself as some kind of movie production master, but I wanted to give it a shot. Making movies is something I enjoy and will probably do more in the future. I took a few photos while I was there, including YET ANOTHER attempt at astro photo. The result was slightly better, but still not what I’m looking for. Someday…
The Wedding
0A few weeks ago I was given an opportunity that isn’t very easy to receive. A friend of mine (who was featured in the Bioshock post as Big Daddy) was getting married and asked me to shoot it. This was somewhat of a risk on their part, as I had never shot a wedding before. To trust someone who has no prior wedding photography experience is a big deal, and I didn’t take it lightly.
At any rate, it was a great wedding on a beautiful day. They’re sort of goofy, which made my job only better. Take a look and enjoy.
Extreme Honesty
0Over the past few years I’ve come across some seriously fantastic portrait photography. For a while I tried to figure out how to create the “epic face” look. This look is one of extreme honesty. No detail of the face goes undiscovered. Every little wrinkle, sunspot, hair and even pore is brought to the viewer. Back then I thought it took several steps in Photoshop and a couple hours per edit. After accidentally stumbling upon some things, I discovered a relatively simple way to make highly dynamic portraits. These shots give a sense of deep emotion. They portray an image of a long life, full of experience and ready to tell a story.
I know I said the last post was one of my favorites, but this one is pretty high up there too.
Note to photographers: I don’t use Photoshop often. Rarely in fact. If you’re not using Lightroom, you’re doing it wrong.
Dream in White
0It’s been about a month and a half since my last post, but I think this makes up for it. Sometimes I have a vision of a certain look I want to go for, and then decide who I want to work with to accomplish it. My vision for this shoot was white. White clothing on a white background; very clean and bright.
Back in March I shot a friend on the beach who I thought had a lot of potential. It was her first photoshoot and I put her out in front of the beach crowd. That shoot turned out a few nice shots, but ultimately it served to give her a little experience with posing and getting over the awkwardness. I thought the red hair and sexy personality would be the perfect match for this shoot. I ended up being right, but I had no idea how much I would love this set until I opened it up and began post-processing.
All my shoots have their own unique characteristics, but this one stands out to me as one of the best.
Party to the Floor
0I recently hit up a birthday party for the glorious Rhianna. This party had fireworks, black lights, strobe lights, trick candles, people passing out, loud music, and somehow managed to avoid police intervention. I certainly had an interesting time of my own, but that’s a story for another day. Here are some pictures from the party.
