Still Without a Studio

Alija in the Wizard Room

I'm still without a studio, but I think I have a couple of good leads for spaces. One is a very large basement space, and the other is a newly refurbished studio/gallery in SE Portland. Normally, in the late fall and winter, I move to the studio or into my home for my photography sessions. Home is out of the question for the time being due to a kitchen remodel that seems never ending, but getting into the studio to finish up some projects will be nice.

When the house is not in shambles, though, it's a pretty nice place to shoot with several different rooms that serve as lovely backgrounds for models. One room is set up as a Wizard's Bedroom, while the master bedroom and bath are large enough to accomodate a couple of strobes with modifiers. The living is great for shoots with lots of room to maneuver lights and bodies. Alas, shoots will not be happening here for a while yet.

In the meantime, I'll leave you with some images from inside my home.

Summer is Definitely Over

Kira & the Rainbow

It's the beginning of the wet season here in the Pacific Northwest. That means rainstorms, rainbows, and the end of outdoor glamour photography. Of course, sometimes there are brave models who are willing to dare the elements for a shoot.

I do suspect, however, that I've done my last outdoor shoot for a while and while I may be able to get into the studio for a time or two before the end of the year, most of my time will need to be spent processing the images I've taken so far. A few of these you can see below:

End of Summer Shoots

I'm wrapping up the summer shooting season here pretty quickly. I have just a couple more shoots scheduled, though I'll probably head to the Pirate Festival tomorrow to shoot a few wenches and scalliwags.

I think at the end of this year I'm going to take a break shooting with models for a while and concentrate of finishing my books and perhaps work on landscape, experimental and macro photography. In the meantime, I'll enjoy shooting with the lovely ladies for the remainder of the year and sharing my photos here with my few loyal readers.
