Insperation

Putting my next shoot together, found some things that made me drool! I love that fashion can be art. Not just a beautiful girl in some expensive clothing, an actual emotion brought on by an image is all this woman can ever ask for.

Latest shoot with the Lovely Loni Wilson!

A few shots from a shoot with the amazing Loni Wilson who will be competing in the Miss. Fitness competition. She is going to rock it!

Another from my 80's playboy inspired shot:

I am Back!

So it has been some time! I have been working on getting my work published and getting my website running. More to come for sure. Here are some behind the scene's from a few shoots I have been working on.

Looking up some things for my next shoot and I gotta say I just LOVE Tim Walker!!

Some random's as well . .

Hello World!

Long time since I have posted, been doing some research. I found these inspiring photos . .

some un-seen photos

Final touches

Made some final alterations to my photos this morning, did my test strip and now printing out my first set of prints  . . . wish me luck!

Final touchhes

set back

So waking up with a migraine on Monday set me back a little, (I suffer from extreme migraines that put me out the majority of the day & the med's I have for it make you drowsy and knock me out so either way I lose) This is just a frustration blog, now its a late night and early morning. I printed out some cheap copies of my photos now back to edit . . .

Funny Food Art

So close

I am now in the editing phase! The scenes they were greatly time consuming, as well making myself a little sick from chewing all this gum for one of them, but I really enjoyed doing them. Exploring the different lighting to make the scenes and ways of making objects. Printing this coming week and hopfully can make it to an art exhibit this weekend I have been itching to see some art.

Heres a lil Iphone photo of my first real set up. I added some lighting and other elements not shown here. Im looking forward to the rest!

Round 2

Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

Good Stuff

Wednesday . . .suggestions please!

So I am still trying out more ideas and trying to expand, I am having a difficult time getting farther nothing I am trying out I am excited by. I will have some more photo snapshots to post later tonight. I would love any suggestions!

Thanks

test session 1

Here are photos from my first tests.  It is pretty much snapshots of some ideas and different ways I may want to go with my project.  These are not congruent just feeling out which way to go and the very minimal of those.  Let me know any suggestions I am not sure where to go from here but just more shooting.

Looking at more work

I been looking at some more stuff , I came upon photographer Olivia Jeczmyk. 

Tim Walker

So I have been looking for some more inspirations for all my work in general.  I stumbled upon Time Walker, I have known of his work before but never really researched it.  I  love the strangeness of his scenery and models together.  It can go with my want for shooting a more strange, quirky scene for my next project as well as my interest in a fashion style of photography.  Deff a style I enjoy in fashion.

new project description

Project name: 

 made scenes/object

Description:

I want to work with the idea of items out of there normal context of use. It being either as simple as a misplaced style of scene or whole set ups of scenes changing a perception of the items.  Meaning to be a more upbeat, quirky way of portraying these scenes or object.  Something light hearted, yet maybe even strange.

Conceptual Concerns:

My concern is not being able to keep a fun and quirky feeling to it, as well as it pushing over to  it just being dumb instead of clever.

Technical Skill: 

The technical set up of the objects will be something that I am concerned and looking forward to.  Correct lighting to portray these scene correctly.

Formal Guidelines:

3-6 photos 

between 8x10 & 16x24

Artistic References:

David Shrigley

Irene Cecile

Readings:

Possibly book on arrangement

Grade:

Conceptual idea came through

Technically

Goal List:

Learn new lighting technique

Set up of small scence and sets

Things are slowly moving along

I have looked at some artists and am starting to get some ideas flowing.  I have found some photos by David Shrigley (thanks Kyle) that seem to head me in a good direction. 

I also found the work of Irene Cecile that was an inspiring start.

I like the strangeness of these photos as well as the quirkiness of the video's on eatpes.com

I want to have an end result of photographs that give a strange and funny quirk to them, hopefully I am starting in the right direction.  I am going to try a different route that I usually do and just start shooting some simple things first and see where it takes me . . . scary!
