Sometimes you just feel inspired to try something new with a big softbox and funky make up. And when your model is fun and up for anything, even have wild lion hair and jumping, nothing is off limits. Just a little shoot for fun.
Facebook is a fantastic machine. It has allowed us to connect on such an incredible level. Connect with family and friends. Connect with collegues and past classmates. Connect with complete strangers we admire and those who we'd love to get to know. It's these connections that sometimes lead to great discoveries and relationships. And I absotelutely love it.
Over a year ago, I created a photography group. The main reason was because I wanted to find more photographer friends. People who would never tire talking about aperture and lighting. Connect with people who just get me. On a photography level. And we could learn, grow, and connect. That was the sole reason.
This year, I made it my goal to begin organizing group shoots. So we could connect face to face. Learn and really be a community.
Each and every Group Shoot we've had I have met so many great people. Have been able to connect with new members, members who I've only seen through FB, and members I personally know. However, what is greater is that all those who attend connect with each other as well! It feels all pay-it-forward-ish. And I love it.
So if you're interested in being a part of the group, please go to the
and ask to join. It's a public group and everyone is welcome. From novice to advanced to professional, everyone is welcome.
Here are some photos from May Group Shoot we had in LA. I never got around to posting them :).
Models: Elahyna, Rosey, Desmon, & Cynthia
When a friend comes to you with an idea, at first you may not want to hear it, for fear that maybe, just maybe, it wouldn't be a good idea. Yet you listen anyway and after she has poured out her heart to you with all of her ideas and dreams, you realize that it wasn't a good idea... it was a GREAT idea! Of course, my friend Sophia, being as meticulous as she is, she could never really have a bad idea.
She told me that she wanted to start a fashion blog and that she'd love for me to do a series of photos for her. And, of course I did! Can't leave a friend hangin', ya know?!
If anyone ever wrote a blog about fashion, Sophia is the perfect person for the job. And so, Running In Stilettos was formed. I'm posting these two here but make sure you check out her blog for more photos!
Happy Wednesday!
Yes, this is the same beautiful Romanian model I shot a few months back at the Walt Disney Concert Hall. You can see the images
. She was going to leave in 10 days and well, I couldn't pass up another opportunity to photographer her again! This time, a whole new theme, location, and vibe. She is an amazing model and has done lots of print and commercial work in her home country so naturally we had a smooth shoot.
Aside from being a great model, she is a fantastic stylist! She styled both shoots based on simple ideas I described to her. I said, "let's do an autumn theme." And the above is what she brought. I love a model that is a great stylist! I mean, just look at that green coat! Gorgeous!
Alexandra is sadly back in Romania :(. And it's a huge big sad face! Maybe I'll have to go to Romania and photograph her there... either way I miss her because we became friends in the short time she was here.
And.. this just goes to show that photographs are irreplaceable. She is a friend, not just a model and I have these photographs of her to remember her by. Which in turn give me a happy face.
Chelsea is a make up and hair stylist with
, that is usually running around on the weekends preparing brides for their big day. But she wanted to do something different. Something fun, colorful, and really stretch her skills. She contacted me and we set a date.
I couldn't be happier with the results! The girls had never modeled before and it just goes to show how with some fun make up and wardrobe, a model can be born! They were naturals! We had a fun time and can't wait to do more of these shoots in the future!
Happy Friday!
A little fall preview and will show more soon!
A little preview of what's to come from a cool collab with a make up and hair stylist!
Happy Tuesday!
Kristen and I were in the marching band together. Four years of sweating out in the field during the 3-5pm practices. On the field when we competed, sometimes next to each other in our formations. See, we both played flute and we were on the same team. Then graduation happened and as usual, every disperses into the life that they are to lead. Some take us on curved paths, some in circles, and some in jagged straight lines. And some bring us back to our home town. Were we are able to be on a different team: model + photographer. But we're still a team. Life is so uncanny in how it always brings people back together. Even if for a only a fashion photo shoot.
Kristen: thank you for allowing me to photograph you and for allowing Elle to make you up! I had a ton of fun!
