frankfurt 21/01

So i admit there are quite a few photos in this post but that's cause i couldn't choose ... so i appologize for my indecision! 

Anyways back to the post ... this past friday, the 21st of january i headed down to Frankfurt with my friend Nelou & a day of shooting with some other photographers including the wonderful Kim Kravitz another military spouse & photographer based down in Heidelberg. We'd met online (as i have discovered so many fabulous photographers) & had been trying to get out shooting together for a while. 

So Frankfurt was chosen because well i wanted somewhere new ... i wanted to experiment & push my boundaries ... instead of history & pretty i wanted modern, metal, glass & everything that goes with. I've never really liked the city so i've never photographed this kind of architecture. & to say i had a wonderful day is putting it mildly!! We wandered aimlessly (my favourite kind of exploration) & i made use of my ultra wide & loved it! 

So sit back ... relax ... maybe grab yourself a cup of something ... & i hope you enjoy the pretty pictures!

Heidelberg

Some images from my recent visit to Heidelberg with the family visiting from the States. My husband's cousins wife's Grandad (wow that was complicated) was stationed here after WWII & so wanted to check out the city. Here are some of my images including some portraits i shot of the family whilst we were there. The weather wasn't wonderful, a little misty but the sun was out & we had a great day (although way too many stairs for my liking).

scouting locations

So yesterday i headed into Landstuhl, one of the local German towns looking for locations for my photo shoot next Tuesday. The client wanted an "urban" setting so Landstuhl made sense, & suits the individuals in question more then the hills i used last week. So naturally i set out with my camera looking for suitable places for backdrops when photographing the couple in question. & these are the images i ended up with, hinting at some of the locations i feel will work well, & in fitting with my photographic style.
