Ashleigh Black and White
Using my passion to capture her passion. Win-win!
Pearls
Mud
Tortured Michele here, and made a mess! Don’t look at me like that, it’s clay mud mask, and she said her skin felt great afterwards…
Camera Meditation
I’ve been spending a lot of time at Magnuson Park lately…plenty of space to run around, pretty much the best dog run ever, and sections of preserved wetlands. Seattle, yes, has the rainy rep, but we’ve been gifted some pretty awesome weather lately. Things are blooming and unfurling. I took my camera today, with my macro lens. I usually reserve that for product photography, but realized I wasn’t having nearly enough fun with it. Took a very relaxing, meditative walk and ended up with these.
Black and White Ballet
Brittany Cavaco in Central Park…
Seattle is slowly blooming, which I’m always happy to see. A splash of color appearing on the mostly gray background is definitely invigorating. I should have some new work coming out in the next couple of weeks…Seattleites, contact me if you’d like to shoot!
Floating
I miss this bathroom…it got beautiful Southern exposure light and that tub was huge. This was the last shoot I did there, hence the melancholy feel to it.
Black and White Nude
One of the big downers of leaving NY is not being able to work with this lady again…stunning face and figure!
Josie – Gasworks Park
Throwback Thursday to the last time I shot in Seattle! Here’s Josie at Gasworks Park…loved working with her and that crazy wig!
A Moment of Peace
I loved the air in Yosemite. Amazingly clean after all those years in NY. When traveling with pets, hotels tend to place you in rooms away from other customers, and that’s fine with me. It meant this very private back deck to hang out on with no one else around. Took the opportunity to do this: it’s a collaborative effort between my husband and I (he clicked, I directed and edited)…I was probably a pain in his butt, demanding very particular angles and moving so he wouldn’t take others. Photographer power struggle! Anyway, I decided to do this after some negative feelings and thoughts…call it a healing technique. The air felt amazing on my skin and everything just went quiet…bliss.
To be perfectly transparent, I’m posting this to remind myself of that quiet…posting this feels stranger that actually taking the shot, but it’s all a process…a fun one! And this also serves as vengeance for all my subjects that I may have frozen over the years 😉
