Fashion City Part 2

During our adventures in this great neighborhood in Denver we came across this beautiful blue painted apartment building. There were so many great spots and backgrounds to shoot all within a very short distance from each other it was amazing. At the end of this alley, behind Nima in the top shot, is the bed of sunflowers we used for these shots. Totally different look and feel just a few feet away. Who needs a studio? Well, until the temperature drops, then we'll just see how I feel about that.

Throwback

As long as I'm on the topic of cut-ups, this is one from way back. It might still be my favorite.

Fashion City Part 1...Hidden Bonus Track

As I said, it's sometimes good to try new things. Here I'm still working on incorporating a "cut-up" style influence along with the usage of color into my portraits. I'm pretty happy with the results so far.

Fashion City Part 1

It wasn't all car wrecks and broken glass. We had some fun with fashion, too. Sometimes its good to get out and push yourself from what you normally do and try something different. More from this series coming soon!

Art in Nature, First Friday, and So Much More

Recently I completed another First Friday video for The Center for Fine Art Photography. It's always great to be able to talk to the artists and hear their thoughts and stories about their image making. I'm glad I get to share that with everyone! The Center is also exhibiting a beautiful show by David Zimmerman called Desert. I definitely recommend checking it out. Some of the most breathtaking landscapes you will ever see! We had over 400 people come through the gallery this time! One of the biggest shows we've had since I've been here. Not bad for a little town on the edge of the frontier.

Next month plans to be even bigger with an all day event and panel discussion on Saturday, December 3, with the juror of the next show Dreams, Aline Smithson, and a workshop on the business of photography with Tom Bol. Both photographers were included by PDN in their list of top 13 photography workshop instructors. It's sure to be a day packed with valuable information! And I've assisted on one of Tom Bol's workshops before. He goes about a 100 miles an hour, so strap in and buckle up!

A Portrait of a Somber Thoughtfulness

During our photo shoot it started raining. Immediately following there was a car accident a block away. Then there were sirens, smashed glass, and the unknown.

A Summer Portrait for the Snowfall

On this second snow storm of the season I thought I would take it back to summer. I'm finally getting a chance to go through the portraits I took then. So many looks to go through! So many directions to go in! More to come.
