More for the Genre Project that has no name!

Last weekend I had the pleasure of working with Amy! She had offered to help me with my current project and she was awesome! We had a great session and were able to try a lot of cool poses and different lighting techniques. This project is definitely coming along quite nicely! I have a lot to shoot after the Holiday's in order to get the project finished by February! I'm very excited about this project....however I can't think of a name! If you have any ideas...please let me know!! It is about the different strengths and differences of men and woman. It is really about ambiguity and the lines and curves of our bodies. If you have an idea...please let me know for real! :)

Take a look at Amy's photos and tell me what you think!!

I love this one!

This photo is so perfect for this project.
It is totally ambiguous...but so beautiful!

Awesome!!!
I love this pose!

She has the most beautiful curve in her back!

Love it! Very Sexy!



As always...feel free to leave some comments!!

Happy Holiday's!!!

An addition to the genre project.

I had the pleasure of meeting this gentleman last weekend when I photographed him for my genre project. He has elected for me to not use his name and I am respecting that. He was a great candidate...and had a very unique look. I love the diversity he has brought to this project! I love the hat and the wallet chain...etc. Take a look at some of my favorites from this shoot and tell me what you think!

I love the one eye peeking out from the hat.

This one is very ambiguous!

Sexy!

This is like "The Thinker" only cooler and not naked!!

I love this one...it may be my favorite!

This project is moving along...but I still need models!! If you are reading this and are interested...please call me! If you are reading this and you think you may know someone who would be great....have them call me! :) This project is my own genre...classic, simple, elegant, a bit raw, sensual, understated, ambiguous, and unique! It is about strength and femininity and the diversity between sexes. This is one sample, but there are others, scroll down and take a look at Lauren and a few of the other females that I have posted!! I will keep posting the results here as I finish them!!

Hope to hear from you!!!

James

Last weekend I had the pleasure of photographing James...a model who lives in Columbus. I'm currently working on a bit of a genre project! I'm attempting to gather a variety of people together to create a collection of photos that are all unique but still cohesive. This genre collection project will be finished by February and the final products will be on display at McFadden's Restaurant and Saloon on February 14th, 2009. More details regarding the event will be posted as soon as they are made available.

Take a look at these photos and tell me what you think!

Please feel free to leave a comment!! :)

A few that have yet to be seen...

Hey Guys!

I just wanted to post a few of my glamour shots that I have yet to post on here...you all saw Lauren's a while back and here are a few from my first attempt at the genre with Jen and a few from my most recent shoot with Angie. Take a look and leave some comments!

Pretty sure this is my favorite one from Jen's shoot!

She totally looks like Misty May Traenor!!
I love this one...it's simple and sexy.

Toenails...different I know, but I like it!

This one is all about shape and ambiguity.

I love the tilt of this one and how she looks like she just woke up.

I like how her face is in focus and then the photo fades to a blur!

Hand's down my favorite of Angie!
I love everything about this photo!

This one reminds me of a book I once saw where the photographer took photos of celebrities in their beds in the morning. It just looks like she is seeing daylight and can't quite commit to the day yet!

This one is so sensual and definitely a pose I will try to incorporate in the future!

I love it!
She didn't know that I was still photographing!
I told her to relax while I looked at the shots I had so far....awesome trick!

This is just peaceful.

She looks so elegant!

As always feel free to leave comments for me!

Just experimenting!

After my first nude shoot with my best friend, Jen, I wanted to improve my skills and experiment with new poses and concepts. I found a willing and gorgeous candidate, Lauren. Believe it or not, this entire shoot was taken in an upstairs bedroom at my mom's house, because I don't have a studio as of yet! My goal was to show the female body in such a way, that would capture the sensuality of simplicity. I think that the more simple a shoot is the more you can really capture your goal. Though this does depend on the type of shoot... :) Lauren was wonderful, she took direction amazingly but still had some ideas of her own that she wanted me to capture. These photos are honestly some of my favorites that I have ever taken. I think this genre isn't something that is really explored by most photographers. There isn't really a title for it, as it is unique. It is not glamour, where woman are posing in lingerie for their husbands and boyfriends, it is not artistic nudes, with dramatic light and greasy looking bronzed bodies. I don't know what it should be called...simply nudes? Not sure, but either way, here are the photos!! As always, please comment and let me know your thoughts!!!

This is my favorite shot of the day!
This photo says quiet simplicity and elegant grace.

I love the angles on this one.

She is all tangled looking but still amazingly elegant.

For this one, I was trying to capture her face,
while keeping her legs slightly blurred as to not distract.

I love this one!
I love how there is so much negative space, but you aren't distracted by that!

This one is all Lauren!
Her idea! I think it is too cute!!
