Saturday Light: In the Woods
Stepping back to Vermont during the holidays (the same day that I shot the sunrise photos in the freezing cold) the afternoon temperature reached a balmy 23* and I headed to the woods with my brother, Nick. The goal: to make some portraits that were all about him. Nick is like most people when it [...]
Saturday Light: Paul’s Reflection
This was easily the most unusual portrait shoot I’ve yet done, and one of the most difficult. The idea was Paul’s – my good friend and fellow photographer, who wanted to put his own face alongside a portrait of his grandfather as a young man. But rather than simply pose with the portrait (heck, anyone [...]
Saturday Light: Lauren
Back from my short hiatus while working on my other site [link], here’s another edition of Saturday Light with Lauren, who has become a familiar face here over the course of her three-part senior session. It was really supposed to be a two-part session, but due to some scheduling troubles and a bit of miscommunication, [...]
Saturday Light: Gianna
Now for something completely different: Gianna, my first foray into the world of children’s photography. This was a shoot done for Gianna’s mom, who is a friend of mine, and wanted some photos to include in the annual Christmas card. We kicked around a few ideas and settled on a two-part shoot, starting with some [...]
Saturday Light: Alli
This was a shoot I had been looking forward to for a long time, but conflicting schedules kept getting in the way, until finally we were able to pull it off. Alli is a dear friend of Mandy and I, who is giving serious thought to trying her hand at modeling. She’s got the look [...]
Simple Clicks – Glamour Light
Just a trial run for an idea I’ve been hoping to develop better. I’ve seen other photogs use this style of lighting with kick ass results and have been dying to try it myself. I was able to grab a few shots with Lauren on Saturday, which convinced me that it’s worth developing, even if [...]
Saturday Light – Kristen’s Senior Shoot
Playing catch up here after the wedding, which has put not only my posts, but also most of my editing off by a a couple of weeks. So stepping back in time to early September, this is Kristen’s senior session. And alright, it wasn’t actually a Saturday shoot, but that sounds better than “Thursday Light,” [...]
Simple Clicks – Kristen
Just a quick look at Kristen, who I photographed last week. Still working through the full set from part-one of her session, but I’m already very happy with how it’s turning out! Tried some new stuff with some success, including the image above, which has the very distinct foreground/background focus separation that I like in [...]
September Update
Not much personal photography the past few weeks, due to a mix of work and play. Well, work and work is more like it…business work and at-home work. In the wake of August’s Ikea run, Mandy and I decided to refinish some of our existing furniture, which as resulted in minor power tool purchases and [...]
Sometimes it all comes together
Sometimes it all just comes together…the right model, the right outfit, the right look, the right setting, and the right light. With all those elements, it’s little wonder that it doesn’t happen more often. Don’t get the wrong idea, there are plenty of good photos that come out of each shoot. Plenty of great photos, [...]
