Polar, Doug, and Eddy

So it didn't quite snow the way we hoped but it snowed enough. Eventually, some passing by flurries came in and out as we were moving along the photoshoot. Doug was a trooper, changing outfits in that frigid weather. I didn't realize prospect park was so large, I mean we scouted this place a few days ago but I didn't anticipate walking around with all my equipment and clothing pieces. Thanks, times million, to Eddy for lending us a hand with this one. 

The photo shoot was a success, we got all the shots we wanted and then some. We even found a frozen lake towards the end of the last outfit that gave us the look we were going for.  

 

 

It's a wrap! 

Light is Light

School Work

I can remember the exact day and time that I wanted to go full fledged and become a professional photographer. It was 3 years into my training, on a Tuesday evening at 7ish PM on April 14th, 2009. It was our last day in class and in between beer and hors d’oeuvres, while we critiqued our body of work, I heard our professor say: “Light is Light’. And that was the moment that everything clicked and photography became clear for me. It wasn’t about the light, it was about the moment. Strobes or natural, sharp or soft; the light can be anything just as long as the artistic endeavor is met.

Commercial application.

Hoping for some Snow.

Getting ready for next week, hoping it will snow like they promised in the forecast. We got our styling boards ready and everyone is on standby. We'll be watching the weather closely for this one.

The Patterson J Kincaid Website went live today! It was an amazing experience working side by side with this incredible team. The 5am call time was well called for because that sunrise was everything we wanted.

Patterson J Kincaid Spring S2010

⎯ What an amazing experience. Out in the West Hamptons, with an amazing crew.
The weather couldn't have been better for this project. Thanks to Roderick Angle for directing this beautiful project and to Erin Mugavero for coordinating everything.

My favorite part about this project was waking up to photograph on those magnificent sunrises. I mean what a way to get inspired! I think I'm going to try and make all my future photoshoots happen at the beach. 

Enough is Enough With Salma & Amber

To the Bottom of the Earth.

This must have been the longest week ever. From Wisconsin all the way to Arizona in a small car, traveling to see the Havasupai Indian Reservation. We camped at the top of Canyonlands and at the bottom where we reached the reservation. I've never felt so small in comparison to the nature that was around me. You could see forever it seemed. I hope someday I can return. 

Amazing Adventure on the open spaces.

It's a Wrap #1
