Cade continued

More of the Cade photos.... again these are worth seeing larger


Cade and I have a theory that either I am going to get famous for these and he will always be known as "that guy that Annie photographed in the wedding dress" and not be able to live it down, or he will get famous and then these will surface years later and I will just be known as "that girl who photographed Cade in a wedding dress".... either way it was an amusing shoot and I think these photos have potential. I still have more ideas for things to do with them so we will see where it goes...

The Cade Experiment

Just to wet your palettes.....

(this one is really worth seeing large- click to enlarge!)

Katie in the wedding dress

Katie was an amazingly good sport and let me take pictures of her in the wedding dress this Sunday(which happened to be the coldest night ever!!). We started by going to the top of the parking garage and trying to do some outdoor night shots but it was freezing, Katie was getting hypothermia and my flash refused to fire. So we moved inside. We went to Spiritual Haze which is the local hookah bar that Katie works at. Vicky, the owner (who is awesome), let us set up a hookah and just shoot away. All in all it was a blast. I really like some of the pictures that came out of it too. I honestly can not wait for warmer weather so i don't have to torture my models and make then work outside in the freezing cold. However, the rain is pouring down on top of last nights snow fall and it doesn't look like it is getting warmer any time soon. Photo is going really well but I am still looking for people who are willing to volunteer their dresses. Keep checking in however, because my goal is to do at least one new shoot a week. Cade is itching to get into the dress so that will be coming soon

Photo Class 2-5-2008

I spent a decent portion of Tuesday's photo class taking pictures of people. It was fun to play with my 50 mm lense because it goes down to 1.8 and I was able to shoot in relatively low light without a flash.

Wedding Photography extended

Hey everyone! Right now I am at the start of a new project that I am very excited about. I am working on extending my wedding portfolio by creating what I hope will be unique and interesting bridal portraits. To do this I bought a wedding dress on ebay and I am using friends as models (for this shoot my sister Emily modeled). I came up with the concept seperately but after some research I found a website called trashthedress.com which focuses on similar idea. Basically my plan is to ignore the social expectations that come along with formal attire and create portraits that are fun and really capture the subjects personality despite what they are wearing. This first shoot was largely exploratory but I do feel like I got some good images and I am excited to continue editing. I am beyond excited about all of this right now!

Well here goes:









If anyone is interested I am looking for volunteers who have prom dresses or even wedding dresses (that you are done using :) ) and who want to model.... because honestly when are you going to wear that dress again and wouldn't you rather have fun, unique portraits to cherish rather than an old dress sitting in your attic collecting dust? Let me know!
