Sundrop

Today I photographed for a band of Lakeridge kids, Sundrop. It was awesome to get to know some people I've never talked to before. Great group, lots of fun!
Here's a link to their music http://www.myspace.com/555883068

Morning Has Broken - Cat Stevens

Results from my photo shoot at 7 a.m. are officially posted!

I really enjoyed watching the day begin in such a picturesque location. I'd like to do this more often!

A Dress... made out of TOWELS

So I made towel dress. I've been working on it for a few weeks and was very close to lighting it on fire or something. I was inspiration-less. But after powering through it, I completed it! And I created these little tortolini things that look like flower buds cascading across the front, which I'm glad I added. It makes the dress pop a little more. I'd really like to photograph it on a human, but that's more complicated. I'll get that done by the end of break.

Sunlight in the Winter?

For my next two photo projects, I think I'm going to focus on sunlight and light. My first concept is to use my friend Maddie as the model, and the focal props being a oil burning lamp and an old-fashioned quilt. The setting will be a soft sandy scene, so I'm considering using the George Roger's Park beach. I really want to experiment with photographing at different times of the day, so I'm going to shoot at around 6 or 7 a.m.
My second project is more of a commission-based assignment that I think I can use for one of my pieces. Johnny Morford & Kyle Winkler's band needs photographs, so I'm going to shoot for them! It should be fun. I want to highlight the mix-and-match flannel patterns in their wardrobes.
I look forward to my upcoming photo shoots!

New Shoot Results!

Input would be much appreciated!

Concentration shoot #1

Last weekend, I held photo shoot with my pal Devon. We had a loads of fun playing in the leaves in and around the Sellwood area.. it was the perfect fall day, very sunny and crisp, which I was thankful of. The lighting was perfect. I created two series with the results, and I'm very happy with them! I really wanted to play off of primary colors.
Next weekend, I'm doing a more extreme, dismal shoot with Morgan and Jenna Hawkes and Ephraim. I'm looking forward to it. I have lots of ideas floating around in my head. I'm worried about the weather, so I'm going to talk to my bosses at Portland Garment Factory and see if they will let me shoot inside their white-washed warehouse. It will be interesting to see how these images turn out without any natural light..hmm.
Anyways, here are the series from the color shoot:
