- the 8th photo from a 30 day project -

Nothing too special about the subject, just needed something to test a lighting idea. 

The white shades are from an older project that never really ended.

This is just awesome.

a year later - white shades

I was digging through some old images and I came across this one. I shot this almost a year ago, but for some reason I overlooked it. This time around, it caught my attention and I ended up processing it for my white shades series.

Project photo number 5. This one was a bit of an experiment. I created the rim light using a technique I had not seen before. It was something I saw applied in a product shot and I wanted to try using it for a portrait. Since it was a first attempt, I think it worked out pretty well. I saw a few things to try differently next time, but I also saw some things that definitely worked.

This is sort of a project photo within a photo project. I've had a white shades thing going for a bit and this one belongs in that series as well.

It's been a while since I've shot a white shades image, but that doesn't mean I've forgotten about them. I shot my nephew's senior portraits this past weekend and slipped in a white shades photo during the session. I'm pretty stoked on this one!

My white shades project is growing and headed in a pretty fun direction. People seem to be digging the results of my little photo exercise and wanting to get involved. I'm pretty stoked on what has come together so far and I hope to reach my goal of 35-40 different people sporting these shades in the not so distant future.


Mike chill'n chill'n in the white shades...

If anyone is interested in being a subject in my white shades project hit me up.
I've got a lot of ideas, but I'm open to others as well.

I'm planing on doing about 35-40 portraits with these white shades so stay tuned.

I picked up these cheap, terribly silly looking, white shades from a gas station somewhere near Smith Mtn Lake VA. I've taken a few photos of different people sporting them (Including myself) and achieved some pretty fun results. Expect to see more shots with the white shades.

Self portraits

Self portraits: the only willing model I could find.

So there was this contest on strobist.com and... well I missed out. So in the spirit of the contest theme (headshots) I put together a couple of self portraits tonight. (i was bored, more or less)
