Here is a selection of the photos from Cecilia's set of the red lipstick series:

This girl is awesome. She hits so many poses and makes it look like there's a wind machine on her hair when there definitly isn't! Took me a while to narrow down her shots to a manageable amount, so many useable photos!

I always love working with Astrea. She looks good pretty much anywhere you put her infront of the camera. Makes my job so easy!

Back in February, I did a photoshoot with three lovely ladies; Jamie, Astrea, and Cecilia. The theme is just red lipstick, I have no specific artistic direction from there. Whatever happens happens!

Here are a few from Jamie's set:

(Taylor stopped by too!)

Jamie is so fun to work with. Her giant eyeballs catch the light so well!

I shot these photos way back in June of last year, but I wasn't quite satisfied with them, so I reshot the idea later on (you can view them in this entry). Last night I was in another edit-photos-mood while watching a movie, so I started fiddling with the colour balance on these and found a new love for them!

In the summer I bought a bunch of blank cards/envelopes for the purposes of selling as original artist cards. I still haven't figured out what exactly to put on them. I'm not sure what'll look better, printing directly onto the cardstock or gluing photo prints onto them... so perhaps when I have some more time on my hands I'll start figuring that stuff out and maybe open an etsy shop.

There's so many little project ideas I have. I also have blank bookmarks I can print on and sooo many tiny canvases. I think maybe I'll make a check list of things I could be doing with my time and maybe that way I'll actually get them done haha.

I don't know why, but one day I woke up and decided I'd like to start a photo series of hearts. I know it's been done a million ways already, but I like it. It's just a silly side project I'll keep ongoing, if I think of something or come across something that'll work I'll add it to the set.


It might eventually amalgamate into some sort of "love is" series, but I'll have to think about it. Well, maybe not, but I'll need the assistance of other people so it doesn't get stale. I'd like to do more people portraits anyways, so it's a definite possibility.

PS why does blogspot horribly compress the images in the thumbnails into grotsky quality? Sadface.
