studio_after_04b

Are you interested in a photography class/workshop/seminar/grouptherapysession in Lafayette, hosted by yours truly?   I need to hear from you and hear what kind of format or topics you are most interested in! I’ll probably use a combination of home/studio and locations, with the chance to learn in a small group setting (5-7 people) as...

my bread and butter?

lauren drew lake2 masthead

I wonder if this is becoming my trademark already  :P   I doubt I’ll be able to align the planets again like Jill&Chris’ shot on the lake, but we left the reception on Saturday for 15 minutes to grab a few frames by the bog.   They gave me a few poses, but I like...

fusion for your friday

triple e shoot

A couple of firsts: the first video from the iMac with my first attempts at Final Cut Express, and the first video/photo “fusion” piece from an engagement shoot.  I also have behind-the-scenes clips from Mike from another e-shoot that I need to do as  more of a promo piece… sometime.

studio_after_04b

This post has been a long time coming.  I mean a long time like since the summer of 2000!  The only time since then that I’ve been able to shoot in a controlled lighting environment was 5 minutes in the WKU photojournalism studio to get a ‘maternity’ shot of Carrie.  I’ve been looking forward to...

how this works: composition

composition Selena fashion_114

Let me preface this by saying most of this is really “2nd nature” to me now (and some of it maybe 1st nature? a la ‘you have a good eye’/ or a natural inclination to good composition/layout/etc.).  But there are certain elements to good composition, and these can 1) be discovered and explained after the...

Anne Adducci: fashion

anne fashion_024

Anne is also a senior in the Apparel Design major at Purdue, and she found a nice porch down the street — one that sets a great scene for her designs.  The color, light, and feel were just right, and the props she brought were a great addition as well.  I brought all of my...
