experimenting in the frost ...

This coming week is going to be all about "experimentation" & exploring photography (amongst other things). A little down time has given me the opportunity to explore & have some fun & step outside of my photographic box. Yesterday morning i was able to take a walk in the gorgeous frost & these are the results of my walk ... i love the mix of abstract & light & i'm indulging my current b&w obsession!

the nelou & laura show + week 14 = "light"

can you believe we're over a quarter of the way into this project, seriously time has flown ... 
being back in the same time zone makes life so much easier when it comes to project & posting ... 
we are back on schedule people (whoop whoop) ... 
anyways this weeks theme was "light" which is a much antidote to the 40 degree temperature drop i experienced when returning to grey & dark & winter like germany (yes i miss the sunny warmth of california) ... 
so here's our interpretation of "light"! 
nelou . me

& next week's theme ... drum roll please ... "wednesday"!

Miss Erica


So today i photographed one of the girls i work with ... she was my willing victim ... uhhhh "client" & it was awesome. Ok i know i should really hold back but WOW did i have a good time. We were going for a more fashion look, something i have really never tried & everything went fantastic.
I was lucky that another photographer, Chett Collier of Reserve Photo acted as my "assitant", & he has agreed to allow me to assist him in the future, teaching me more about the business & in particular lighting. This is something i am incredible excited about & i can't wait to learn everything he has to offer.
So anyways we went into Landstuhl for the shoot, taking photos around the little park & in an alley way a little down the road with Erica looking every bit the superstar she is. Moving through the locations & with Chett's support, plus a very active subject i grew more & more confident. We experimented with lighting, using an umbrella, flash & reflector all new to me, the flash creating some fantastic lighting, very Hollywood.
So now i have something new to add to my portfolio & a whole new world that i both love & can't wait to experiment with more.
