JADA

JADA

This young girl is only 14 and she's already drop dead gorgeous. 

She is just going to continue growing into a beautiful young woman and with her passion for modelling I hope she continues to share her beauty with many photographers throughout her life.

These images are just two from the shoot that I've been working on for the past little while. I do plan on finishing some more shots from the shoot in the future but I thought it was about time I gave the internet a little taste of JADA.

The photo shoot was on a very overcast day with the sun popping out to play from time to time. I had an assistant with a reflector trying to splash as much light she could onto the model and luckily we managed to make it work.

I used an overall warmth to add a feeling of summer and happiness to the images as I tried my best to steer away from using lens flares and back lighting effects (although in the second image I snook in just a tiny bit of magic).

Playing With Light

SUNLIGHT

A few days ago I was sitting outside with my family and decided to run in and grab my camera for a few shots of my baby cousins. I then saw the way the light was dancing within all the plants in the backyard and went on a bit of a shooting spree. 

I haven't taken the time to just shoot for experimental purposes in a while.. 

There is something about the sun and it's rays that really draws me in, to the point where it's all I want to photograph. Lately I've been feeling like every photo I take has to be backlit by some sort of light source or it doesn't satisfy me in the way I need. 

These photos are very lightly adjusted without any colour correct of special effects added at all. I love the way they turned out and they continue to inspire me with every glance I take. 

So simple yet so moving.

MIRANDA

MIRANDA 

This was a shoot I shot recently with a friend of mine named Miranda. This girl had STYLE. She's amazing at makeup and hair, and has a killer wardrobe to match! She was very easy to work with, took well to my posing and the only downfall to this shoot was the lack of space to shoot in.

My favourite shots of the this shoot have to be the two close ups. I love the "Magazine Beauty" feel to the first image and I'm very draw to the dramatic pose with the last image. I had fun putting my editing skills to good practice with hair, lip color, eyes and skin. The slight blue tone to her eyes really contrast well with the overall red hue to the image which I really enjoy.

Overall we had fun with the shoot, the images turned out beautiful and I cannot wait to create more art with this amazingly talented artist!
