Hold em Shoot

I recently had the opportunity to take some portraits at a friends filming shoot, for 10 minutes I happen to really like the results and plan to get some better ones at an actual planned shoot with the gorgeous Schanelle very soon.

Vangie

Had a very fun day of photographing the lovely Vangie, some of my favourites are below.

Now that I'm joining the real world from 8-5 daily, my photo taking missions are going to be scarce but my website is coming soon!

Ilona

Here are some of my favourites from Ilona's shoot. There were really so many great ones to choose from, but No. 5 & 1 are definitely my top 2.

Black & White vs. Colour

Anyone who knows me and my style of photography will know that I absolutely adore black & white photos. Whenever I get involved in a discussion on which is better, I always side with black & white: until yesterday. Yesterday I did a shoot with Ilona, who is absolutely gorgeous as you can see below. When I got home and loaded the pictures onto my computer, I was shocked that I preferred the color as opposed to desaturating the images. Here's a sample below. The colour is pure magic.

More from the shoot to come soon!

Daniel

Starting to build up a portfolio for my soon-to-be website, Daniel was my second victim. He just rocks in photo's! Here are some of the best shots

Twi-Light

Today I went to see the movie twilight, after reading the book, and it left me thoroughly dissapointed, most of the acting was terrible, the casting did not live up to the books character descriptions (except in a few cases) they deviated from the story where they shouldn't have - and where they didn't, they should have. It reminded me of when I went to see Memoirs of a Geisha after reading the book. I remember walking out of Memoirs, and hearing some people banter on about how brilliant it was, and my sister and I looked at each other with shocked "did they not read the book?" faces. Granted in Memoirs, the acting was good and the story was good, but the book was just so much better, the moments you read about that come alive in your mind just don't materealise as majically on screen. This left me thinking, is it possible to read a book before watching the movie and come away from the theatre feeling like a good job was done?

What's harder to do - Put pictures into words, or words into pictures?

Hmm?

There's something almost slightly distudrbing about this one, but still really like it.

Thoughts?
