Priya + Ojas (Engagement)

Sat, 07 Aug 2010 18:12:00 -0400

I had my first real photo shoot a few weeks ago! One of my best friends, Priya, is getting married next year and she asked me to take some photos of her and her fiance so she could put together her save-the-date cards. I was very flattered, but extremely nervous. I suggested we go to a local park and then did some location scouting about 20 minutes before we planned on meeting. It was so much fun! I also enjoyed seeing Priya and Ojas interact without anyone else around. I hope someday I get to do a few more photo shoots, I feel like I learned a lot with this one. Thank you Priya and Ojas for letting me take your photos!

Orchids

For my birthday last month, Jesse had flowers delivered to my office. They were beautiful purple orchids, so of course I had to take some photos. I even got out my macro lens to take them.

May Final Friday Flickr Favs (by picatoria)

Here are some of great Polaroids I loved from Flickr this past month due to ‘Roid Week.

Polaroid Week 2010

Every year Flickr hosts a Polaroid Week. It is one thing that really excites me about participating in. I love polaroids! My camera used to be my Dad’s and I really should use it more. The photos I took this year were inspired by Jamie of From Me To You. You should follow her because her work is breathtaking.

A few weeks ago, one of my friends from university came down here for part of her vacation and to visit me. I had to work during the weekdays but the weekend we spent a lot of time outside enjoying the beautiful weather. Here are some water pictures from my pretty city.

Collier County Fair

I love taking fair pictures! They have such a vintage quality about them regardless of how or what you shoot them with.

Collier County Fair Animal Portraits

Sun, 21 Feb 2010 18:24:00 -0500

Last weekend J and I went to the Collier County Fair. It was the first time for him and the second for me, but first in a long time. We had a great time walking around, having a few snacks, taking pictures, and looking at animals. I didn’t want to ride on any of the rides, because I don’t like how easy they are to put up and take down. This post will show the animals we saw at the fair.

“Life Doll Prada” - Elle Muliarchyk

“In order to take a beautiful picture in a dressing room I need to genuinely feel like the outfit is a dream piece for me—something that I would feel like a million bucks wearing to, let’s say, Cannes.” - Elle Muliarchyk

The picture above was taken by Elle Muliarchyk in the dressing room at a Prada store, of herself. She doesn’t buy or steal the clothes, but she “takes the soul of the dress.” She has some absolutely beautiful fashion photographs! They are self portraits and it is just hard to believe that they are all taken in a dressing room. The lighting is surprisingly good, and in some of her photos she even includes props, such as leaves and a giant gorilla hand, which is amazing.

“Leaves” - At Chanel

Here is an article from the New York Times about her.
If you cannot read it because you are not a NYT member, here is a cute little video about her from Fashion TV that has pretty much all of the same information.
This is another great story about her taking photos in the dressing room of Tom Ford, a men’s store.
This website called SHOWstudio has a profile and small gallery for her. Check it out.
Another article from T magazine about her project for Bella Freud.
Here is Part One and Part Two from a great interview with Elle.

Inspired by Ansel Adams

Sun, 31 Jan 2010 14:37:00 -0500

Ending the month about Ansel Adams is my Ansel Adams themed photo shoot. I don’t have the locations that he had, and it’s hard to find the time to go out shooting when I’m working while the sun is up. To fill you in, I recently got a new full-time job, so it cuts out a lot of the free time I used to have.

It wouldn’t be Ansel Adams-style if it wasn’t in black and white, so I took these digital images and transformed them in PhotoShop.

I think the following one looks really odd compared to it’s original color version.

This one is more my typical type of thing to photograph.

And here’s my gorgeous sister.
