Celebrity Shoot

I was assignment an assignment to shoot a celebrity, someone famous, someone well known. In my opinion a celebrity is someone who YOU feel is famous, who you feel is someone who makes a difference in your life. Joey is a member of a band called Pop Cherry, I always enjoy going to watch his shows because he is very entertaining and his voice just blows you away! As a person he is kind hearted and just amazing, I absolutely loved working with this man! he is so natural, wild, and out there! It was really scary how much some of my images turned out and he ended up REALLY looking like Steven Tyler! But other than that I cannot wait to shoot more images with him! I hope you enjoy a little sample of my shoot from yesterday night!

Unfortunate events,

Over the weekend while I was shooting I really had the urge to try out my Canon AE1 manual camera unfortunately I did not get around to it and I wan’t able to use it. I did shoot another couple shots for my series though, and it’s just helping me to see that everyones body it much different and photographs in various ways. Some are able to get the right effect that I want, some are able to take it to another level and give it their own twist which is exactly what I want. I can’t wait to continue with taking these images and seeing what I can come up with!

Successful,

As I mentioned in my previous post, I was shooting in the studio this weekend. My wonderful model Lauren once again was absolutely amazing, I love to work with this beautiful woman! She really gave it her all as usual and made my visions come to life. I didn’t have to even tell her how to pose or what to do, she just knew and made it work. At the start my lighting really wasn’t working for me then I realized that I should just do what I love to do and shoot with one light and one background! After all that, it just all fell right into place, my images looked even better! After hours of editing through almost 400 images, my eyes burn, I’m tired, and I have to go play with my lovely pup! I leave you once again with these images, please, feedback is more than welcome! I would love to hear what everyone has to say! 

High/Low Key Photography

This year we experimented with both high and low key portraits, I honestly had an amazing time photographing both these images. For my high key I used my very good friend Emily and she is honestly one of my favourite people to photograph, we have fun and its always very natural. She is photogenic and just loves to do crazy poses! As for my low key, I used someone that I have known for a long time, but never worked with professionally and I’m glad to say our minds work wonderfully together, this girl is an amazing model. You can tell she has a passion for it, which is why she is actually trying to pursue this as a career, unlike Emily. Lauren Marie Panicali is a great model to work with and I hope to work with her again very soon to create more beautiful images. As usual I like to make sure my shoots are laid back, fun, and full of laughter. I always like to make sure the experience for the model is a positive and stress free one! The moment I hear stuff like “one of the funniest and pressure free shoots I’ve done” (says Lauren) makes me feel amazing and reminds me why I love doing this as much as I do.

What I love doing…

One of my assignments last semester was to do an on location fashion shoot, and by accomplishing this it made me realize even more how much I really love to do this type of photography. I love working with people, I love having the freedom of using whatever is in the location at that moment and being in an environment where beautiful images can be created. One of my buddies that was helping me out this day decided to take some video footage of me while I was setting up my model and taking pictures, after seeing what he put together it really showed me how well I work in these situations. Pressure free and just having a good time, when things become too serious you feel overwhelmed. I like to make sure the people around me are always happy and laughing. So, I hope you enjoy the short video and the a couple of the images from that day!
