Fall 2010, through a lens.

Posted in: People, Photojournalism

I’ve been so busy with weddings lately I haven’t been able to blog very much. The Altared Visions site still has a lot of work (as does this one) and often takes priority. I just shot my last wedding until New Year’s Eve this past weekend in Maryland complete with Washington DC engagement shots and I’m really excited to catch up on edits and have some serious time to blog and do some personal work.

But that doesn’t mean I haven’t been shooting!! So here are some shots from my autumnal shenanigans this year.

There was King Richard’s Faire. Full set here.

And then there was the Salem Zombie Walk on 10.10.10. Full set here.

Followed by my annual trip to the New York Sheep & Wool Festival in Rhinebeck, NY. Full set here.

Followed by the first official Hideout New England group shoot with James Barron [facebook] Dana Lane [website] and Olivia Williams [website] and our beautiful models Mara and Keila. Full set here.

This has been such a great (and busy) fall!! More to come!

Michelle’s DIY Lightbox!

Posted in: Articles, Blogging, DIY Gear, Links

Remember my DIY Lightbox tutorial? Well Michelle, a fellow knitter, wrote me saying she was going to try it out and I asked her to let me know how it went.

Well she did and she kind blew my mind experimenting with backgrounds by putting stuff between the light and tissue…genius!! Look!

Have you made a DIY Lightbox with my tute? Let me know and I’ll link your post! Which reminds me…I should post some more DIY photography stuff! Wedding season is winding down and there’ll be a lot more time for blogging, knitting, blogging about knitting (look, I closed my knitting blog so you non-knitting readers…all 3 of you…will just have to deal!) and best of all…photography for the hell of it.

Boston HipHop Artist, Greatness

Posted in: Client/Commercial, Portraits

Greg Dor, aka Greatness, is a Boston hiphop artist who actually use to coach my niece’s basketball team. You may recognize him as this isn’t my first shoot with him. This time around though, it was out of the studio (aka my little living room with a giant backdrop wedge in the middle and me shooting from the kitchen) and onto the trolley tracks in Dorchester, MA.

We were racing against the failing light and being swarmed by mosquitoes but I’m really happy with the results. I had James along to help out with the light and he set Greg up for my favorite photo from the session here…

Greg is incredibly talented and one of my favorite Facebook friends, I always have a blast trying to make him laugh and break his ganster face. (Sometimes it works…don’t tell anyone.)

These were all taken in about 20-30 minutes with a single off-camera flash, bare bulb with a 1/4 CTO gel except the graveyard photos which had a LumoPro flash on the shadow side for a little rim and fill. We were not eaten by zombies during this shoot…this time.
