Salem Photo Lessons

Just curious if there would be any takers for some fashion/glamour photography lessons? I have seen them before where a photographer hooks up a model or 2 and gets 4 or so people to pay for the lesson and shoot with models. All releases signed, etc. Anyone interested drop me a line.

First magazine fashion spread

I have been contacted by a regional magazine to shoot some fashion outside at the end of January. I am hopeful that we will sign the contract in the next couple of days.

I also shot some crazy photos in a crazy effort to get some additional business from an unconventional client. Here is an example of what Mary looks like all darked up. Simplest lighting setup I have ever done. Ambient room light with a flashlight to get the glow behind the model.



After that, I took some headshots in the same make up since I didn't think that I would get another shot at Mary with such dark make up on. What do you think?

Doctor's Office Shoot

The doctor's office shoot went very well, and I got to know my doctor better. My wife and I already liked her a lot, but we left liking her even more. The nurse who does the laser zapping (I imagine Doctor Evil every time I say "laser") was very cute and had one of the easiest smiles ever.

Boutique Party

What a joke. I have my port on the counter, since I am donating a session to this raffle. I leave for a little bit and come back to find it out in the hall. I was told that the person selling the raffle tickets was showing people to get them to buy tickets - fair enough. When I went to leave and let her know I needed to take my portfolio, I get, "Oh, is that what that is?" Obviously, she never showed it once.

Lesson learned, and I won't be participating in anything like that in the future.

Salem Boutique Party

I am going to show off the new portfolio tonight at the Olive Boutique's Christmas party tonight. I think it is invitation only, but if you are going, stop by and say hello. I will be showing off the new fashion photography portfolio.

Portfolio Building

I am still going through older photos cataloging and reworking some photos from a while back. Here is another of Cottage Grove based Katie that I worked on and may use.

Portfolio Prep

While going through my files prepping them for my new portfolio and importing the PS files into Lightroom, I found an old picture of Katie that I reworked a bit. I usually don't process files quite as much, but I used the pinch filter a little on her nose, converted to black and white, added a high pass filter to bring out her crazy hair and great lips and used a little diffused glow at low opacity to soften the skin.



I will have my new http://www.lost-luggage.com/ portfolio done today, I hope, ready for a Christmas party at a boutique next Friday.
