I love taking photos of people with tattoos! I don't personally have any but I find it very fascinating. I even photographed a photo thesis on Tattoos when I was going to photography school. At one point, I was just walking up to strangers in the mall complimenting their tattoos and asking if they would be willing to be in my photo shoot! Looking back it's hard to believe they agreed and didn't think I was completely crazy. Then again, maybe they did but agreed anyway! I had a lot of fun meeting new people and finding different ways to photograph different types of tattoos. I photographed everything from Henna art to people completely covered. It was a fun experience, and I would love to continue to add to it!

Happy St.Patricks Day!! After chatting about B&W photography yesterday, I thought I would post a colour photo from the same shoot to show the difference. I would love to hear which is your favourite?!(See previous post for similar B&W version)
May the luck of the Irish be with you today!

I created this image with some very talented local artists. I participated in a creative shoot with my hair stylist, Stephanie Hopkins and a local makeup artist, Heather Baird. It was a blast working with these ladies! I have another creative shoot coming up soon with Stephanie and I am SO excited!
Black & White photography is truly one of my favourite things. Color photography is amazing, and there are lots of brilliant uses for it but it's hard to beat a truly well done B&W photograph. I just think B&W photography takes a different kind of intention. There needs to be contrast and/or emotion in the original image to make it stand out. I feel like it pulls your attention to the subject and you become focused on who they are or how you feel about the photograph. One of my FAVOURITE photo series' is called "In the American West' by Richard Avedon. He photographed a whole series of incredibly impactful photographs on a white backdrop throughout the western US states with his subjects being everyday people. A significant part of my respect for this series is that I know it was shot on large format film. I had a glimpse of what this entails during my first year of photography school. We had to photograph all our assignments on 4x5 film for a few months. For those of you unfamiliar with the process, it requires about 50(+) pounds of equipment, a cape, upside down viewfinder image, sheets of film, a light meter, film holder, probably a polaroid camera for test shots, AND then you hope you loaded the film right and the film slide cooperates and don't malfunction and wreck your photo. Which, by the way, you don't always know it's wrecked until you get back to the studio, after spending hours developing the film, letting it dry and viewing it on an enlarger. Experienced photographers could probably eliminate some of this but it is all still relevant. So, YAY digital photography! It's amazing to have photography so accessible to us now, because it allows us to take photos of things we may not have been able to in the past!

I don't actually recall what sparked the idea for this photograph but it was definitely a fun idea! I imagine it will be the one and only time I roll someones hair in beer cans... I hope. I spent weeks searching for an old hotel & sign for the background of this photo. At one point I had a whole collection of hotel signs, and to this day I still have a habit of keeping an eye out for them. One of my favourite hotel signs was in Medicine Hat(it's gone now) but unfortunately I wasn't able to use it for this photoshoot. I ended up finding the sign in this photo at a motel near Rexall in Edmonton. It was a bit of an adventure taking a photo of this sign but it worked out! This is a composite image which I had a lot of fun creating!!
