Belle Parish Spring 2010

Last week I photographed Ali Landry's new children's clothing line, Belle Parish. While I had photographed children before, nothing could compare to the 3 baby and 2 toddler models I worked with. I honestly can say I couldn't have done it without my amazing prop stylist Katie. Please check out her work at katiebyron.com! We shot 18 outfits in 5 hours!!! Ali and her business partner Annie needed the photos retouched within a few days for a buyers show so I really had my work cut out for me. Luckily they were amazing to work with, everyone helped out, and the experience was awesome (and very educational).

Below are a few selects (please click photos to enlarge). You can find the other photos and info about Belle Parish on their website, belleparish.com.

Tear pages section!

I have spent the past week gathering and scanning as many of my tear pages I can find..I figured it was about time to add it's own section to my website. Please check it out and let me know what you think!

Trying something new.

Sometimes when I hit a creative block I gravitate to old inspiration, which have included a lot of films. One of my favorite filmmakers of all time is Samuel Fuller, director of the Naked Kiss and Shock Corridor (PLEASE rent these movies if you haven't seen them. The Naked Kiss is also available on YouTube here). While watching the Naked Kiss for the umpteenth time the other day I decided to do a fun shoot inspired by the film. I have been wanting to experiment with angles and light lately, so this was a perfect self-assignment. Also the next thisisaphotoblog assignment is to experiment with black and white, so I thought I could kill two birds with one stone. I shot with an SLR and Holga. Below is the SLR. The Holga film will be ready on Thursday and assuming it comes out okay will be posted in a few days. Many thanks to Ollie and Caleb for being amazing models as always.

Landon Pigg

A few weeks ago I photographed Landon Pigg for Filter's Ragged Magazine. He is a great musician and everyone had a good time! I will post the spread in a couple weeks when the issue comes out. Until then here are a couple photos I liked that they aren't using in the mag.

Macro Makeup

First time using a macro lens on a job. Kinda fun!

Coupling

I shot these photos for thisisaphotoblog. The assignment was "Coupling", which was open to interpretation.
