Just one of Nat goofing around during our photoshoot with Alli on Thursday night, I thought it was pretty cool.

I had a photoshoot tonight with Alli and Nat, the photos turned out great, but I decided to post this one, it was my first time shooting with my homemade tilt shift lens. I only shot 4 or 5 with it, it was basically impossible to focus at f4.5 in the room we were in since there wasn’t enough light, basically the smallest movement of the lens would change the dof. Two of them actually turned out pretty sharp, however this slightly out of focus one was my favourite. I’m going to have to try this lens during the day when I can see through it properly.

Nat preparing for our photoshoot the other night, those eyelash curlers/extenders, whatever they are have always scared me.

Nat and I had a little modeling session with my new camera in our apartment. Nat has watched every episode of americas next top model, so it wasn’t hard to convince her to pose for me. I think we’re going to try it again, my hair light gave uneven shadows on her shirt.

I finally got around to going through all of the photos from the shoot 2 weeks ago, this one is of one of the make up artists Luana.

Another one from the photoshoot last sunday. Charlotte hanging out in the tub.

Two days ago, I spent the better part of the afternoon, taking photos of regular kids with lots of make up on, as part of a “punk rock makeover”. My friend Luana and 2 of her friends are trying to get some dealie on warped tour where they give kids punk makeovers and stuff.

Finally after about a year of procrastinating, I shot some photos of a model. Expectations were high, leading to large disappointments. One of my pocketwizards died during the shoot, which was my main fill.. can’t do much with slide film when your fill light isn’t firing, and you haven’t noticed until after you’ve shot 3 rolls. Oh well these things happen, Yumi was understanding, and we’re going to re-shoot.
