GGP portrait session

A fun shoot today in Golden Gate Park. Two things I am not used to: photographing men and happy photos. I decided to practice both today.

Oldie but Goodie

I was going through my archives yesterday and came across this image. I had it up on my site a few years ago, but decided to take it down. I was focused on creating a cohesive body of fashion- bent portraiture and felt this image didn't quite fit with the other work. Since then my work has expanded and I feel its time to bring this image back in to the mix. Visit my site to see it and my other work!

Marcio Simnch

How amazing are these two photos? I am addicted to Feaverish Photography. Everyday Aaron Feaverish posts images from a different photographer. Aaron has great taste and it is so enjoyable to see who he chooses each day. On Saturday his post was Marcio Simnch. Marcio photographed the two above images. I love the moody, quiet quality of his work. His images are simply composed, yet contain so much raw energy. Kudos to his cool website as well! Definitely check out his site and Aaron's post.

Kris Graves Projects

I have mentioned Kris Graves before. He and his cousin have opened up a gallery in Brooklyn. It is such an amazing space! Kris and his team have such an appreciation for good, solid photography. I was so happy to have the opportunity to visit the gallery and see the latest show. Kris' enthusiasm for his artists and for photography itself is infectious. Visit his website!

NYC

My first trip out to New York was incredible!! I had five meetings this week. I received tons of positive feedback regarding my work and great suggestions as to how it can be improved. I am so grateful to the photo editors who took the time out of their busy schedules to meet with me. Meeting with them gave me so many ideas for future shoots.

As for New York itself, I am completely enamored. What an incredibly vibrant city! I walked across the Brooklyn Bridge Wednesday morning and just felt so inspired and invigorated by the site of Manhattan.

I hope to be back out there soon!

Happy Halloween: Michael Garlington

In school, I took a photo class with Michael Garlington. His photos are creepy and ironic. Check out his site for more incredible work.

"Which of my photographs is my favorite? The one I'm going to take tomorrow"- Imogen Cunningham

This quote speaks volumes to how I feel about my work. I have the urge to push it further, make more meaningful images. I am happy how far I have come with my photography, but I still think my best work is yet to come. So stay tuned and continue to visit my site to see what I am working on!
