Though Myia is an aspiring model, she’s already...

Character

Character is an interesting thing to photograph.  It begins with intent of what you wish to portray.  From there, you have to decide how far to push or pull the drama. I like to push things so that even when photographing a child, you still see “character”.  Now perhaps the character is what you imagine for...

Katherine – so many looks

I was originally taken with Katherine’s style when I saw her dance in Evansville Ballet’s Swan Lake production last spring.  She was so graceful and the gossamer dress she wore flowed with her gentle movements. When I saw her out of her “Bun Head” I realized what incredible wavy hair she had. And it wasn’t until I...

What’s in your wallet?

Re-enactors are a favorite of mine because they embody such character and attention to detail. The key as a photographer is to create the feeling that compliments their persona.

Joshua – Now with more motion!

  Joshua returned for the 2nd of 3 scheduled shoots. In this shoot, I wanted to play with a black background and do some motion studies.  I knew what I wanted to do, but during the setup, I had to use myself as the dancer. Thank goodness no one saw that.  It ranked right up...

Joshua – Destined for Greatness!

Another recent priveledge was working with Joshua.  This guy loves dance – Ballet, Irish Step, the styles of Martha Graham et. al.  Well spoken and dripping with enthusiasm for his craft, he’s like a leaping encyclopedia of dance.  In fact a friend of mine recently told me he had never seen anyone so “Leapy”. During our...

Meet The Photographer

At a recent trip to the bookstore, I happened on a Time Magazine cover that made me laugh the minute I saw it.  I thought the photography was great and the timber of the photo humorous, so I thought, “Let’s give the photographer some of that sincerest form of flattery we’re always hearing about.” So...

Al Perry - Dave,

Another masterpiece from the master.

Not sure your image isn’t better than Time’s.

Lots of good stuff on your blog including, of course, the race for the cure.
