Shootstyle Shootout | Maine

The last installment from the end of March blustery day of coastal Maine outdoor shooting:

Color. Color. Line. Line.

Texture & Gesture

grey is good.

And I though we’d be moving away from the water and the sun went down.  But no.  And Rachel and Adam, though literally quaking with the cold, rallied through like professionals.

A few of my favorite from our brisk Perkins Cove shoot.

I owe this last shot to Meg Belanger, who set the models up at the yellow dumpster and allowed me to shoot beside her.  Thanks, M!

More from Sunday’s shoot in Ogunquit -

Loved the play with 1, TWO, 3, 4. Perhaps too obvious, but I was still amused with myself.

Way to play with wide angle lens distortion, Allana!

ShootStyle Shoot Out | Maine

At the ShootStyle workshop Sunday, we each got to work with four sets of couples in various places around Ogunquit.  Coastal Maine is beautiful, and very different than the beaches I’ve been used to shooting on in California and Baja.  Not only in the rocks, the waves, the color palette – but [dawn breaks on marble head!] the sun doesn’t set over the water on the east coast.

First couple I photographed, who will be new parent this spring.

I’ll be posting this week some images from last weekend’s ShootStyle workshop in Ogunquit, Maine. Carpooling up with Meg Belanger and Mark Higgins and having a photo-saturated road trip and shoot out.

The adorable Meg – as stand in for a portrait I was pre-visualizing at the grounds of the Ogunquit Art Museum.

Derby Dames

I’m working on a project with the Derby Dames, and so Trent and I went to see their bout on Saturday night.
A few images to share:


on the road | Los Angeles | Backyard Film Screening

I flew in early in LA for Dan and Grace’s wedding, and the night before my friend filmmaker Kelly Sears invited me to a backyard screening.  Tucked away in a steeply graded backyard, a makeshift screen was set up. Popcorn was passed out, and we sat in makeshift bleachers while we watched a series of short films and animations from local filmmakers.

Thanks for inviting me, Kelly. I love outdoor film going.

Trent and I spent the first day of 2009 enjoying the natural beauty of Northern California, specifically spending some time with the dog at Muir Beach.  The wind was sharp, the trail fairly crowded, but looking west to the water, it was enormously peaceful. I sat and looked at this for a long time.  Could this be an equivalent?  Possibly.  

 

 

Happy New Year!
