I typically haven’t shot much fashion/modeling photography. Not because I wouldn’t want to, but more for reasons of familiarity. I am used to being the fly on the wall, capturing moments as they happen naturally. So directing people and making a model (a very new model at that) feel comfortable is all new ground to me.
So when I was approached to do some photos of this young lady, I was probably just as nervous as she was. Needless to say, we warmed right up to each other. Talked of traveling the world among other life goals. She is such a beautiful woman at only 15 (I know!?) and I had such a great time getting to know her.
Also, on a side note…the pants she is wearing in the last few photos are from her grandfathers WWII uniform. I thought that was pretty awesome.

I haven’t been shooting nearly as much as I’d like to lately, so I decided to start taking more time to try out some techniques I haven’t used. I’ve been wanting to work on some long exposures for a while now, so the other day I packed up and spent the evening at the beach watching the waves roll in and out. It was really nice to be a bit creative with my camera again.
Next up, light painting and photographing lighting. (hopefully) :)
foggy florida…

The past few weeks in Florida have been more reminiscent of my trip to the Pacific North West than a typical Florida winter. I’m kind of in love with the foggy days we have been having. It is somehow very calming.
Even though I haven’t been picking up my camera as much as I would like to lately, I did manage to take a few shots out at my favorite beach the other day. With the fog, wind and lack of tourists it felt like a whole new place. I could have stayed out there all day.
