The Weekenders

I have shot both Kinsey and Austin together countless times but this is the second time I’ve shot them together. The first time was for a commercial job for a clothing store and we all agreed we needed to shoot again only with less smiles and graphic T’s.

I have been wanting to shoot in a shitty motel for a long time and with a week or so left of college we all got together and made it happen finally.

SO. You have “The Weekenders” you can piece it all together I think and come to a conclusion you want. Everything was shot with natural light and I just changed how the curtains and lamps were opened/ arranged in the room to get the light how I wanted. LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK!

No, Not I

I had come to an idea of shooting my friend Dwight soon after we met it wasn’t until after a great deal of random thought that I actually decided on what we eventually came to do. Based off my idea of what “Little Boy Blue” was dreaming about has be slept under the hay stack we have the following images with my model Dwight looking amazing as ever!

Well Happy New Year I guess? This is my first shoot of the year and It was a pretty good one. This was the first time I have shot Sam he is freshman photo major at UCM with me. I knew we could get something good in studio just playing with angles, lights and darks, and switching the lighting up constantly. It feels good to go in the studio and just do something again. Really excited to get shooting again. My last semester here is looking to be a busy one ! I have a collaborative shoot + gallery show coming up soon so be on the lookout for all that madness as it is looking to be one hell of a shoot!

Fall Recap

Well I’m horrible at updating this site. I have too many social networks to keep up with maybe I should dial it back? … NOOOOO that is silly. Well here is what I’ve been up to the last few months as far as photography goes. All the shoots were actually for my portfolio class … so they were all graded by one of my professors. I shot mostly in the KC/ Warrensburg area but the first shoot you see which I did with Nic Balducci was shot in Columbia.

leave me a comment so I know you came !

Fall 2011 … SO FAR

It has been seriously a million and a half years since my last post. I apologize to “you all” for my lack of posting new images to this website. HOWEVER, with my gallery show out of the way I’m planning to maintain my blogging of new shoots! SO here is the first update.

ZIA!

Zia moved back to Warrensburg this year and she is in some classes with my roommate Courtney. Expect to see a lot more of Zia in the future. I have some ideas in my head for her white hair and killer style.

So I’ve been listening to my new favorite band a lot… Austra. (you must listen)

I have been planning this shoot for about 2 months and finally I got a time frame, models, and assistant together and spent a weekend prepping and finally shooting my one and only shoot of the summer. Hard work pays off.

Kinsey + Jeffrey Campbell

Ok. So. First “blog” post? On this site at least it is. I am doing a big transition right now as far as roommates, getting a job, learning new things, and so on. ANYWAY I went home and shot Kinsey. DUH. Who else?

I forced her to buy the high waisted jeans at a resale shop in Columbia Mo. (I purchased them for her actually) they were $7.00. Nothing for the amazingness they are however the shoes are all Kinsey after she tried on Keely‘s Jeffrey Campbell Litas Kinsey was bouncing between Litas and the Fords.

THE PHOTOS. well some of them
