Hey guys, I haven’t posted in a while and that makes me sad. I need to get back in the groove of things! Anyway, my dear old friend Paula is working on releasing an EP pretty soon. She’s such a sweet girl and has a pretty awesome voice! It’s always so much fun taking pictures of her because she will laugh at literally anything I say or do. You should definitely check out her music at http://www.youtube.com/sayheypaula and enjoy this behind the scenes shot from today! Be on the lookout for her EP and photos soon! 🙂

Segmented Portraits – Alejandro Avellana

Squeee! So, the first person I got to shoot was one of my best friends Handro! I’ve known this guy since we were 5 and even though he goes to school super far, we still have kept in touch. He just graduated so he came back home (yay!), but he’s going back to work & I’m not sure when I’ll see him again (wah..). So, I knew if I wanted him to be a part of my series I had to act fast. As long as I’ve known him, he’s been a soccer fanatic. Can’t wait to edit his picture so be on the lookout for it soon!

Self "Segmented" Portrait

Of course I had to test out my idea on myself first! It was a bit challenging though because I had to stand in one spot the whole time and I don’t have a shutter release remote or cable. So, I went to the next best thing: my boyfriend! Props to him for getting some decent pictures & knowing next to nothing about taking photos. Now, hopefully, you guys can get a better idea of what I’m trying to accomplish here! Let me know if you want to be a part of it!

Segmented Portrait Series

creative, Other, segmented portraits

Hey everyone! I decided to take on some portrait series projects with my free time this summer. I have a few friends who have already agreed to be models (after I volunteered them of course 😀 haha). I am so excited to get this project rolling! How this series works is I’m taking a few different shots at different angles of the model’s body, then photoshopping the “segments” into a whole portrait. One thing that I want is for each model to have an object of importance to them to have in each frame. Whether it be a hobby they love or something that is important to them. I want the portraits to be more than just a regular portrait. I want it to be a representation of what the person is about.

If you want to be a part of my summer portrait series then just let me know & I would be glad to take your pictures! 🙂
