First look at yesterdays shoot featuring Stephanie! Quite a glam lady!
Rainbow Nudes!
New toy! My husband presented me with a really cool color changing bulb for my lighting setup as I was shooting Heather…it even comes with a remote! Yes, I’m in photo gear geek out mode, please bear with me. It happens. Anyway, this bulb combined with a fair Heather and my black wall resulted in these. I need to experiment a little more and refine, but this was fun 🙂
Happy Saturday!
Angel here makes the perfect pin-up girl…sadly she now lives on the opposite coast, but I have a feeling we’ll meet again. Have a wonderful weekend…I’ll be shooting tomorrow 🙂
Brittany in Central Park Part 2
This shoot was very mellow and relaxed…just wandering the park looking for interesting backgrounds, done in about and hour and a half. When Brittany showed me this peach outfit, I was excited to shoot her against grays and greens. Interesting how some of these don’t look like they were taken in NYC…little more of a fairy tale vibe. When we got the bridge, we encountered some tourists with two little girls. They were quite mesmerized with meeting a real ballerina! Brittany was so sweet to them and they all got on their toes while the parents snapped a picture.
I do have a few prints from this shoot (and many others) available here: www.elizabethzusev.etsy.com and more will be added shortly!
Color Nude – Pretty in Pink
Another shot from the Jenna shoot!
Let Me Save You Some $….
If you’re considering getting a portrait done, no need to spend a fortune on an outfit! I’ve done many fun shoots with using tag sale items, inexpensive fabric, thrift stores, and snapping up things other people were going to toss. None of the items in these pictures cost more than $2…the scrap bin in fabric stores is awesome!
Color Nude – Io
What to do when you find yourself on autopilot, turning everything black and white? Switch it up! This is Io, a wonderful alt model I’d been wanting to work with for quite some time, then finally ended up living in the same state!
Intimacy
I met this sweet couple through a mutual friend. Originally, we were going to shoot just him jumping around, but when his lady came too, I invited her to join him in some shots. I’m glad I did, because the intimacy between them came out quite naturally as we progressed.
Alysa
Alysa rocks. I did about three shoots with her, and she didn’t have the need to be “pretty” even though she is obviously quite gorgeous. Modeling was her way of contributing to the arts, and I’m so glad I had the chance to work with her. She wasn’t afraid of going dark and gritty. Fiercely intelligent, and I sometimes find myself going through her shoots and finding an image I hadn’t noticed before…
Modern Day Ophelia
Another way to have fun doing photos is getting to be any character you want! Anduin and I wanted to create a modern interpretation of Ophelia from Hamlet. It was the dead of winter, so we had to make do with a bathtub…
