Project Light: Just as the Sun Went Down

We have come to our final set of photos in my collaboration with Fashion Blogger, Carolyn, from Hey Pretty Thing.  We climbed a windy ridge and trekked to an old train bridge.  As we braced ourselves against the forceful wind and held onto each other as we walked, we managed to snap a few photos!  Carolyn is wearing a beautiful Acne leather jacket that she picked up in Europe.  Paired with a cotton dress and booties, its a perfect fall outfit for these sunny days we have been enjoying.  Check out her website or Instagram for more details!  And, if you have missed our previous shoots, scroll back in my blog or her's for more beautiful shots.  Enjoy!

We out.  

Project Light: Filtered and Spotty in the Afternoon

During the afternoon that I spent with fashion blogger, Carolyn, from heyprettything.com, I photographed her on a walk through brush, shrubbery, and long grass.  The light was filtered, spotty, and direct, in some instances.  We caught pockets of light and played with shadowing.  Check out Carolyn's blog for detailed outfit information as well as helpful fashion tips!

My lovely friend, inside and out, and fellow, ever-supportive colleague

This lady, my ever cheerful, loving, and supportive friend and, now, fellow photographer.  She deserves to be IN FRONT of the lens at times.  So, here she is, in all her beauty.  And the lovely hair and make up job was done by Arianna Scott.  Check her out at www.ariannascott.com

Harsh light… Low light… SCARY?

I recently took a photography class through the Define School called Movement and Light.  It was so good, and I can say that I certainly grew as a photographer.  I began the class with a generally nervous attitude about shooting in low light, especially indoors, and harsh, midday light.  However, I pushed myself to shoot in this light over the past few weeks.  I loved it and can sincerely say that I no longer find these lights scary.  I want to embrace the shadows and find pockets of light.  I will celebrate bright, sunny days and not worry so much about raccoon eyes.  I am looking forward to this journey!  So, here is a little tidbit of images I took and submitted.  Enjoy!
