New Commercial Work

This is just a few samples of some commercial work Ive been working on. Viva la Violette makes wonderful invitations and cards!

Mellowing out for the Summer.

I am in my last semester FINALLY, and after the last couple of months the mellow flow of one summer class has been a nice change. I will be taking a step back from the studio and portraiture to focus on my second love, nature photography/landscapes. For the duration of the summer I will be wandering around swamps in order to hopefully end up with some fairly wonderful prints. I will be making Palladium prints of the images I capture. Palladium prints have been around since the 1800s, they are considered one of the the richest types of black and white photographs one can make, creating a more intense visual experience.

Wish me luck!

Lots Of Updates!

I have so many new photos uploaded! This past weekend, I had an engagement shoot for a wonderful couple! Here are a few highlights:

Ive also been working more on my “Eye Contact Series”

In addition to that, I have been working hard trying to develop my “Tattoo Series”. I have completely reverted back to traditional black and white images rather than the liquid emulsion method I was using before. I think the series is far more powerful now that all the details of the images are more distinct.

More additions to the portrait series….

Here are five new images to add to my “Eye Contact” portrait series

.

In addition to these I have a few “bloopers” that I ended up really enjoying!

New Portriat Session

I just finished editing my most recent portrait commission. The Vidrine’s family portraits out in City Park, and it went great! Here are couple highlights, check out the rest in my gallery.

Liquid Emulsion In Progress…

I have been working with liquid emulsion for the past few months. I am currently using it on a handmade 100% cotton paper and printing portraits on it, the portraiture of tattoos. The word “tattoo” is derived from the Polynesian word “tatatau” or “tattau” (meaning to strike repeatedly) and that is where our western term came from. Tattooing is not a new phenomenon; in fact it has been practiced for around 5,000 years if not longer. Every culture seems to have a place for it, whether it is looked upon as beauty or if it is labeled with criminals.

In my photographs, I am focusing on the western culture of tattoos. These two are examples of my progress so far.

Four New Photographs!

Here are three new photographs for my “Eye Contact” portrait series.
