Nature and infrared photography

I just got one of my cameras converted to infrared, so I will be taking some nature pictures this weekend. Any cool dark-haired models out there want to do a vampire shot for an advertisement? Drop an email!

Salem senior photography

I have not had as many seniors this year, instead focusing on editorial and advertising photography. While the money is better with advertising stuff, there is something I miss about shooting more seniors. I will share an email I got from a senior from last year, who is now working on her BA in Art.

"This is Lauren - you did my photos last year, and I stopped by your website to see if you're up to anything new when I saw a friend's senior pictures and was reminded of mine.

It may seem totally weird I'm emailing you, but I just wanted to thank you for the encouragement in pursuing my dreams/passion for art, even though I'll probably be pounding pavement and living in a cardboard box later on, haha. I pretty much tore apart that communication arts book you gave me looking at it so much... I'm going to the UO as an art major next year, and when I dropped by your page I just thought I would thank you again for the inspiration and encouragement. Hope you're doing well in life and with your photographs."

I can't tell you how awesome that was of her to send me the email, and, during a tough week, it really lifted my spirits and reminded me why I love photography.

Salem model photo

Just a quick edit of one of the shots of a model. The clothing store that the model counted on being open was actually closed. So all we had was the one bikini, which was not what we planned on shooting at all. Just went for the crazy alley near my studio - light wasn't great out, and I knew this alley would be mostly in shadow.

Used the wide angle to make the walls converge and create more interest. Broke the rule of thirds and lots of other rules, but it seems to work here.

Senior photos in Salem

Summer is here, and senior season is in swing. Here is one of my favorites from last year, done at the family farm.

Black and white or color

So which do you prefer?

Glamour photography

My first TFP shoot in a long time went well today. It was short, just to see how the model would do. She is very inked, tall and has a very pretty face, all things that make shooting more fun.

Here is the only shot I have edited so far-

Astoria photography

Man, I must have hit the weather black hole for my Astoria trip this week. It was just nasty with a super flat grey sky and non-stop rain. I drove around a couple of times and just gave up the ghost. I know, I should have shot something, but I just wasn't motivated to derive some photo where I didn't feel very inspired.

I need to try something new and fresh. Maybe it is time to do some TFP model shoots again. It has been a while - maybe it is time to pass out some cards around town.

I will probably do some work for The Salem Project, though I am not sure what at this point. There is a meeting tonight that I would like to attend, but my wife went and made a hair appointment that means I am on kid duty. I will have to connect with Will Bragg later to figure out what he needs me to do.
